Topic: Women's March 1/21/17 | |
---|---|
At the risk for starting a firestorm I just have to say how impressed and proud I am to have seen the millions of women around the world who peacefully protested Trump presidency and what he represents -racism, bigotry, misogyny, hatred, fear and intolerance. It gives me some measure of hope for the future.

peaceful activism is always a sign of full citizen participation, even when I do not agree with the cause (in this case , I do), I applaud people attempting to make what they believe is progress and be heard,,,
better than rioting which can harm innocent bystanders and even boycotts that can aversely affect those with no voice in the decisions,,, |

I don't see where it would be a firestorm at all. It is every American's right to protest.. to not agree, as long as the protest is conducted without violence, which this one was.

What I meant by firestorm was that I was afraid I'd get some rabid Trump supporter going.

Hummmm ....all I will say was I was prepared to watch the March but the first one I heard speaking out was MaDonna~~ I will say one thing if this is what one feels will get the point across then they pretty much cut their own throats.
I was very disappointed to hear right off the bat the F-Bomb not once but 3 times before the station said get her off the air... and all the hate she was spewing.. I understand that one has the right to protest but at least get someone to carry that message in a way that it is not only heard but others listen too them.. I will admit that I turned it off and watched a movie instead... |

Is that really what you believe the women's march was about? Just a protest of Trump? If so, then there was no real point to it and nothing was really accomplished. It gives me some measure of hope for the future.
If the point of the protest was to basically say "we don't like Trump and what he represents!" then it would have been more impressive if they marched before the election. ...And then marched to the voting booths together. |

If I turned off my Tv does anyone really think that I'm the only woman that turned it off due to all the Hate that was being Spewed? I was wanting to hear about Women's rights and why they think they will be taking away?? Instead of all about how much they would bomb the white house or set fire to it and F this and F that~~~ |

I agree. I do not understand why any woman or minority in their right mind voted for him. I got so angry after the election wondering how any women could vote for the man. As for the resaon behind the women's march I suggest you read their mission statement which I'll quote a part of... The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new government on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us. |

And exactly what woman's rights did Trump actually violate? Here we go - Are you serious?- Telling people he would go up to women grab them by the genitals and they couldn't do anything because he was rich and powerful. Saying how he would go in the dressing rooms during the Miss Universe contest and oggle all the women as they changed & they couldn't do anything because he ran the pageant. Or are you one of those people who believe him when he says the media makes up lies about him? (Try listening to the Howard Stern tapes and see how he talks about his daughter) If that's not violating a women's rights that I don't know what is. Or wait a minute ..I guess it's ok because he's rich and powerful... And we all know how afraid people are of rich powerful men - especially polititians |

Well THIS woman didn't like either candidate but I know many women that do support Trump. Women have their own minds and don't have to think the same as all women. We don't share a brain. I know many women that didn't support the march. I didn't go or watch it. It lost credibility, for me, when Madonna (of all people) spoke. That woman doea not speak for me
What about when Slick Willy was being a perv while in office? Or how about JFK being a womanizer while in office? |

And why did they vote for him?.... because they could not bring themselves to vote for Clinton. They didn't trust her. Because had they, she would be President right now Your rage is not at Trump, its at women who voted for him. You feel somehow " betrayed" by those woman... sorry the Howard Stern tapes.. Lol |
