    So you would have worn the pink ribbon?

    No, because it would have had no practical effect and would simply have been an exercise in virtue-signalling.

    Stop trying to make bad analogies fit.

    It wasn't a bad analogy. I refused to wear the ribbon not because it had no practical effect but because I felt there was an implication that all men were in some way responsible for violence against women, a presumption that I found offensive.

    I guess you wouldn't have felt that way, but many did.

    I don't agree with this on principle, but I wouldn't have felt stigmatised. I'd have just thought that the people whose idea it was are misguided.
