I'm not sure why you think a Women's Rights march is ideologically confined by borders, U.S. or otherwise.

The march was for Women's Rights.


But women in the U.S. already enjoy "women's rights"

Why not focus on countries that really DON'T have basic women's rights? Where women are still treated slightly above cattle and enjoy no basic freedoms.

Because like most women here in the U.S. They make it about themselves and need the attention.

pointless march



Exactly what happened yesterday. Just an excuse for sore losers to get together and feel like they are "making a difference" just because they made some dumb signs, wore a goofy looking pink hat, and marched around with a bunch of others like them. (and no...I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary for that matter...I can think this whole march is just silly and not necessarily be a huge Trump supporter)


It's like those people are jealous of those that lived and marched for real causes in the past...and see any chance to do that...so they jump on board without really looking to see what it is they are marching about.

Possibly?

I need something more concrete than that to change the fact that I believe in planning to have a child.

If it were pointless, you wouldn't even be posting.

You'd laugh and move on to something else.

It made its point, even with you.

Gotcha


Considering my personal views on abortion(views that as an American citizen I'm legally allowed to have and voice)...I will always have mixed views on Planned Parenthood. As a person in the medical field I'm not against people have access to basic medical care though.

I have a friend who marched in NOLA. I have another friend who commented she was proud of all the women marching and then bashed Trump's wife for being a housewife. It did not end well, as a bunch of housewives took exception to the comment.

I completely agree with this.

That is exactly what those in opposition to THOSE marchers/protesters said back in the day.

Congrats on the historical perspective.

Not that it matters nurse but I didn't vote either. I never have. Not once, even though my undergrad is from LSU in 2000 and was in political science.

I live in Louisiana. We were going to vote Trump no matter what.

Im legally allowed to have a lot of things that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

My wife voted for Hillary and didn't march. She's not a dumbass and unlike the poor, useless dregs on society marching, she mentioned that she'd absolutely support Trump as President and at the very least give him a chance.



lmao you let your wife vote?

Except those marchers were actually marching for real stuff that needed to be changed. Not "I'm upset that Trump is President so let's all march for "women's rights" so we have a legit reason to throw a massive tantrum"


Women's rights...as in their right to VOTE

Basic CIVIL RIGHTS

Stuff that we now enjoy as American citizens. My point is these women come off kinda whiny imo. We have it damn good here in the U.S. compared to other countries. Let's not completely take if for granted.

Sure, we have it good now.

What's stopping it from getting better?

People who don't/won't speak out.

You have clearly drank the pink vagina-flavored koolaid


But that is the beauty of this country. You can think this march is vital and I can think it's dumb and serves no real purpose.

Nurse if I drank the koolaid, wouldn't I have marched with them yesterday?

I'm good. I support CIVIL disobedience.

Those marches accomplished nothing. That wasn't speaking out. It was a temper tantrum because they didn't get what they wanted.
