The Pink Brigade
William Bryan Purcell is fighting for "the just representation of the female intentions in a culture obsessed in the control of masculine indoctrination." His call to arms lies in the color pink, associated, he writes, "with all things sweet and girly."
Bryan is working with a seamstress to create his own, all-pink wool Civil War infantry uniform. Inside his tent, he will provide "activities, services, and situations celebrating things typically associated with being feminine", i.e. hair brushing and braiding, nail painting with pink nail polish, and talking about feelings and relationships. His encampment aims to provide "a safe and discrete place of refuge from the battlefield," for people of any gender.
