On Saturday,????? ?????? ???? ??? ??????? the streets of London were flooded with people marching to Trafalgar square in the name of women's rights and equality. It's not the likeliest place you'd expect to find love, but for one demonstrator it did spark a crush.
SEE ALSO: From London to Antarctica women march in solidarity with AmericansSophie Stummvoll from London was among thousands who attended the march to promote social progression.
"I participated in the Women’s March on London along with millions of men and women around the world to make it known that we as people will not stand for women, gays, muslims or any other marginalized groups to have less rights and opportunity than the privileged majority," Stummvoll said.
She was marching with her friend when she noticed a man leading a chant and holding up a sign that read "FUCK THE PATRIARCHY" on the front and "YOU’RE EITHER NORMAL OR SEXIST" on the back.
"We were just drawn to his energy..."
"And before we knew it, we were marching down the streets of London with him," she said.
She whipped out her phone and snapped herself a selfie. "I was just thinking that I wanted to capture a moment of crying out for equality next to this really hot true bae!" she said. "I was also trying to pull my glove off at the same time with my teeth, so the selfie just ended up capturing me drooling over equality bae."
When she went home and scrolled through her pictures, she came upon the selfie and had a moment of regret. "I was really kicking myself for not talking to him at the march because the guy looked like just my type, and really, where better to find a true bae than at a feminist rally?"
Stummvoll decided to take action. She posted on the Women's March on London Facebook page.

People immediately jumped on board to help Stummvoll find the mystery man. The search was dubbed #findequalitybae.

Davies posted this message and a video to his personal Facebook page: "So we did a thing. I'm a feminist and proud. And loud. FUCK THE PATRIARCHY. #womenarefromvenustrumpisapenis #vivaLaVulva"
Stummvoll reached out to Davies on Facebook.
He messaged her back.
'Flabbergasted'
When asked about the Facebook search, Davies said he felt flabbergasted. "Let's be honest it was a brave thing she did and took a lot of balls (pun intended). I thought that it was really lovely that someone had noticed me and my voice, I did lose it for a few days afterwards because of all the chanting," he said.
He was driven to join the march to protest the normalisation of sexism and assault. "As a male feminist I feel that my voice and participation in the movement matters. It still seems impossible to me that 50% of the population is treated so poorly."
Putting a smile on people's faces
Stummvoll posted an update on Facebook letting everyone know that the search was over: "For everyone that was rooting for me to find my #equalitybae on the Women's March Group last night, thank you! He reached out to me in the woke and lovely manner you would expect him to! #foundequalitybae #fuckthepatriarchy."
So how did it feel to be a part of a search that brought a smile to so many people's faces?
"It was such a great feeling to have random people on the internet trying to help me find my bae! Especially when that bae was not only incredibly handsome and tall, but also was taking a stand for feminism and representing that the movement for equality comes from all sides!" said Stummvoll.
We couldn't agree more. This story gives us hope that there is an equality bae out there for all of us.
