Women's March?
- Thread starter wazup
- Start date
While some thought it was a democratic movement, I believe it is the shocking realisation for women that one possible interpretation of 'making america great' was returning to this era:
They were looking at rights being pealed back to the suffrage movement. They are losing the rights of chose for their own body, planned parent hood - the only health care system many have access to is under attack and the Obama health care act is being repealed with no replacement plans. Add a misogynistic leader who has attacked women for their looks through out his campaign and you have the perfect storm.
The overwhelming size of the demonstration clearly suggests that ignoring this demographic will put the odds of winning the next election outside the Trump/Putin team's grasp.

This didn't march didn't happen because of a particular spokesperson's agenda. This was a huge frustrated portion of the population that said a clear 'No' to Trump and the Republican cronies threatening to curb women's health issues / support.
Any popular movement is going to come under attack by left/right wing loonies who want to pretend these people are following them. The Democrats, radical feminists, left wing radicals all wanted to take credit for a general outpouring of outrage at the possible elimination of women's rights accumulated over the past thirty years. Clinton - should have participated - if not on the podium - walking arm and arm with fellow concerned citizens. No one has a right to say 'No' to her or anyone else participating.
The part of Trump winning because' there is not a unified head' (bold text) in this massive march is one of the most moronic statements I have heard. Trump's support was not on any one issue. His Make America Great without defining what was missing allowed people to fill in their own blanks. Suddenly there were more confederate flags as supremacists voting to get blacks under control, isolationists interpreted 'great' as getting American jobs back, freedom from Muslim attacks was 'great' while others reduced immigration would keep america great. That wave of dissent pushed Trump in. If those who took the time to travel out in protest could vote Trump out then and there - they would have. The author is trying to belittle the demonstration but if Trump is smart - he has 3 years to try and address these concerns - not ignore them.
BTW: The gay pride organization was targeted and taken over by left wing loonies who want to exclude police floats from the parade. The original concept of a celebration of gay rights has turned into a political left wing exclusion. I point this out to illustrate that any legitamate protest is going to be targeted as was the woman's protest.

This is an illustration of the 1950's era male typical suppression of female sexuality. Why is any woman who freely expresses herself sexually suddenly open to uninvited groping by a misogynistic asshole ? How is Trump's evaluation of a woman's worthiness in politics related to her appearance in anyway related to a woman's own personal living choices.
In fact, I admire my heroine Emily Ratajkowski for her own nude selfie after the 'righteous' protest over Kim K's nude selfie.

Yawn....
The march was largely a reaction by illiterate uninformed shallow exhibitionists and their inarticulate celebrity leaders to bloviate to make themselves feel like they're the good people, and increase their brand awareness (i.e. stay 'relevant' and sell product).
They have every right to protest and I'm glad they did because it lets everybody know who the dumb people are.

You "admire" her for taking nude selfies??? Are you from planet Earth? That has to be one of the dumbest comments I've ever read. Liberals really are borderline retarded and modern liberalism is a IQ suppressant.
Next time I snap a dick pic, I hope women take great admiration in my sexual courage - for standing up for all the real smallcocked men like IM469. Solidarity dude!
A million or so marching women in Washington with another million or so across the country must be illiterate and uninformed because smalldick (an intellectual Trump supporter :encouragement
can't understand why they are motivated to show up. I think you are pissed that more people were motivated out of there houses to support this anti-Trump rally than those excited to support a narcissistic Russian elected blowhard the day before. You want a list of the Trump comments on both the ugly Republican female candidates and ugly wives of the male candidates ? Or number of times Melania was bragged by Trump for her looks and never about any other qualities ? Add his pussy grabbing testimonials and you have a poster boy and the leader for a party trying to strip women's health and rights back.
Emily is tongue and cheek but her point is valid - why can't a women sexually express herself ? You must be embedded in the '50's if you really have no clue why the women were protesting.
Not only is Kathleen correct that we aren't going back to 1917, but the sad thing is many women would like the opportunity to be at home at least while children are young, but frankly can't afford even with two incomes to do so.
Busted. I'm so angry because of that! Grrrr.
What you call a successful protest of 1 million is little more than massive hysteria and opportunism.
If you want to play a numbers game remember that Trump got over 60 million votes.
What woman can't sexually express herself? Do you live in our world? Do you watch tv, movies, music videos, view porn sites, go to clubs, or have an instagram account? Do you walk the same streets that the rest of us do?
Btw, your obsession with the 1950s is troubling.
I don't know if you listened to Scarlett Johansson's speech that someone put up but she was protesting the attempt to de-fund Planned Parenthood - a very essential national health organization - because they support abortions in ~ 3% of the cases presented to them. In many rural areas of the US Planned Parenthood is the only health coverage available to women. In fact today Trump started the process by signing an executive order to cut international funding for any health organization that supports abortions. There is Republican rhetoric that the next spat of supreme court appointees will be done specifically to reverse Roe vs Wade thus bringing back the coat-hanger option for the poor while the rich continue with their D & C's.
Yes dark days for Gay Pride in Toronto.
If you think they're doing this to express their sensuality, I would think you're naive. I also don't think for a minute that Trump is going to change anything (abortion etc) whatever he said was to get votes from the religious.
Add some Russian intervention - I'm guessing hysteria and opportunism could be used to elected an unqualified buffoon as president.
If you want to play the numbers game he lost the popular vote by 3,000,000 votes. One would think he would keep in mind that he represents the interests of everybody before he signs executive orders to limit that majority of voters rights. He had a clear indication from people on Saturday about their concerns - if he was interested in re-election he would try to walk a middle path instead of validating the concerns of the marchers.
The sign posted on this thread says it all. It might be legal but there is obviously a Victorian mindset that discriminates women who demonstrate the same sexual actions accepted for men.
I was going to suggest the same with your level of thinking.

Surprise !
Besides writing their names in the snow whiling peeing ? Not much but it's the judgement that follows after that differs. I think women should have as many sex partners she wants without the stigma that she is morally bankrupt and 'damaged' goods. (Okay ... maybe there is a hope that my odds on a night out would improve :eyebrows
One item of thought I heard from a woman today, is that she believes that the march was in significant measure fueled by women who had booked flights and hotel rooms before the election when they were confident that they would be coming to celebrate the Inauguration of HRC, and that they didn't want to loose money and so turned it into a protest march.
Don't know if this is in fact true, but I find the suggestion interesting.

Proves that people had real concerns (and that Scarlett Johansson is hot always).
