The Women's Marches brought together millions of peoplein the United States -- and not all of them were women.
Dads, too, came out to show their support for the march and the women in their lives. The subways and streets of Washington, D.C., were full of grown men wearing knitted pink vagina hats on their heads. At the march, they were seen handing out sandwiches, pushing strollers and raising their children and their fists.
