re: I wonder how oppressed women feel

Well I see your point. But you're not really comparing apples to apples. If anything, the 500,000 who were estimated to march on Washington for the women's march this weekend should be the number compared to the 200,000-300,000 who participated in the MLK march on Washington (not millions). Additionally, it's a lot easier to spread the word around today with instant access to multiple types of instant communication, and there are a lot more easily accessible methods of transportation available to get people to DC than there were back then. But I do see your point. Even a smaller amount of people can make a difference, so sheer numbers might not mean as much as other factors. My problem is that these people today don't have any clearly defined demands or differences they want to make. The whole thing just seems like a big complain-fest over perceived injustices that don't hold a candle to real injustices in the world. That makes it difficult to sympathize with, for the 99% who didn't march.
