MADISON, Wis., Sept. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Thistle Pettersen, a Madison-based singer/songwriter and activist, has been cited with "disorderly conduct with a hate crime enhancer" for placing feminist stickers in public places.

Key Points: 
  • MADISON, Wis., Sept. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Thistle Pettersen, a Madison-based singer/songwriter and activist, has been cited with "disorderly conduct with a hate crime enhancer" for placing feminist stickers in public places.
  • Pettersen says that in July she placed feminist stickers along State Street in a variety of locations that have other stickers and graffiti on them, including telephone poles and a dispenser box for "Our Lives," an LGBT magazine.
  • Because gender identity is not a protected class in Wisconsin, it is unclear what the basis is for the hate crime enhancement.
  • "Even if true, stickering feminist slogans in areas already full of stickers and grafiti is neither disorderly nor hateful," said Lauren Adams, WoLF Legal Director.
