The Protest By Women is Too Huge to Dismiss as a One Hit Wonder.

No, they can use their first amendment rights all they want!

So can we!

I've not seen anyone say they shouldn't be able to do it, just commenting on the absurdity of it all.

See how that works?

Oh no we are all spozed to pee our self simply because they ARE like out in force.....like zombies.....talking about BLOWING UP THE WHITE HOUSE and s**t. In effect calling all those that vote for Trump a bunch of sexist ect, ect, ect. OOOHHHH so scared.

And you can go live in a cave with Jane. The stock market and business seem to be doing great. Giving them more money to hide in foreign countries is a bad idea.

Admit this is a cryfest because a woman did not win like expected and socialist policies will not be enacted. World's biggest therapy session.

This statement is an absolutely hideous and glaring example of what we are protesting.

No. It's not a "cry-fest" of "butt-hurt" losers. It is the intelligent, unafraid, educated Westernized, literate men and women of the world taking a stand. It isn't about "Hillary" at all.
That was "pant-suit nation", of which I am not a part. Hillary is done. It has to do with WHO TRUMP IS and WHAT HE'S PLANNING!

There's a difference. Learn it. you all men are really pushed off-kilter here, aren't you? Not ONE of you supports your woman having gone. You certainly didn't go. You sat at home and got irritated that so many people are willing to stand up and say "NO."

Quetion: Why do you call this "crybaby whining"?
Answer: Because you are scared, and misguided, and uninformed.

Heya, let's lighten up on the bickering....

No I am not suggesting they are Trump fans. I am just correcting your false assertion that this march was due to Hillary losing the election.

Yeah , I'm sure there are plenty of Women in that march that voted Trump and not Hillary. Right.

You should also take that up with the CNN , MSNBC fake news organizations who are calling it a Trump anti trump demonstration not an anti abortion or womens right demonstration.

Crowds swamp Washington for anti-Trump women's march


Women's March live coverage: Global protests on Trump's first full day

The American Muslim woman believes Muslim communities should be free to use Sharia law within their communities - not that the whole country of non-Muslims must have Sharia law.

What you conveniently ignored to say is that Sharia Law itself is degrading to women and gives men the right to treat their women as they see fit. Isn't that what you are or should be against?

So WHAT in the world are you doing supporting the right of any community that allows women to be treated as objects such as Sharia law?

Like I said this women march is way over the top hypocritical ,biased, and disingenuous when it comes to women rights.

Aziz Ansari did a fantastic monologue about this last night on SNL (Saturday Night Live).

He talked about how everyone's feeling, and reminding us that it is only a tiny slice of the population who are [acting like Trump supporters on ATS]. He reassured us (the rest of us, who marched).....who are scared to death....we'll all be okay, too.

You know why? Because a different butt in the Oval Office Chair doesn't really change a nation. What changes nations are very large groups of angry people. And we proved on DAY ONE that we are a force to be reckoned with, beginning now.

THE POPULAR VOTE. LOOK AT IT. we outnumber you. We outnumbered you by THREE MILLION on Nov 8. And now we outnumbered you "at the inauguration" by FIVE MILLION.

If a fetus is getting its nutrients through a fleshy tube connected to the mother, it's pretty obvious that it's still part of the mother's body. Thus, she can do whatever she wants with it.

Really? When and where did that happen?

Was it the group of rather aimless people spouting media talking points without any understanding of what they really meant or whether they were true? That group?

Oh no, easily manipulated people have turned out in force to wander around aimlessly! The world is quaking in its boots!

Nothing has been proven today, except how easy it is to circumvent peoples' critical thinking skills using social media and a carefully crafted meme. Unfortunately, Trump has already demonstrated that... and he did it better.

LOL!! Nice try. Good nibble.

a reply to: interupt42

You just aren't hearing me. There were LOTS of women there who were not Hillary fans. They weren't Trump fans either.

Regarding the Sharia law issue, this is not the thread for the topic, but you can read this link to understand a bit more about what this American Muslim woman was talking about, and no, she wasn't talking about treating women as objects.

So wasting tax payer money and amassing more trillions of debt is such a great idea? We will all be living in caves with our debt situation trending the way it is.

You need to think of small and mid market business who are struggling to keep afloat. They don't have enough money to hide anywhere, a little relief can go a long way.

But yes, I'm crazy for wanting fiscally sound policy.

Again take the up with cnn and msnbc for labeling this as an anti trump march and anyone with common sense.

In regards to sharia law and her point, i understand she was fighting for the right to religious freedom.

What i dont get is her fighting for a culture and religion that treats women as second class citizems and then organizing a womens march

Can you send me a link where she condems sharia law and rhe Muslim culture on how it treats women?

The women who originally planned the march weren't really doing it because of Trump. They were doing it because of issues women face. That doesn't mean there weren't plenty of women there against Trump, but that wasn't the focus of the march originally.

What the organizers hope for is that the march will empower and inspire women (and men) to go back to their communities and work for the change they want to see.

Not such a horrible thing, is it?

Really?

So they would have marched like this even if Hillary had been elected?

Please, tell me more about this and how angry they would have been.

a reply to: kaylaluv

Oh, great. That's all we need...the fundamental transformation of America. (sarcasm)

This American muslim woman says "being a muslim means being an activist".

Interpret that any way you want.

Of course they would not. This was a huge party that became a focus for those that felt like losers and needed a way to come to terms with their feelings of frustration at losing. It's really that simple, despite the claims to the contrary. I do hope it has worked for them and they feel a lot better after their group mourning sessions.

The underlying message was all good, ruined by a few idiots, but the give away to the motivation is that none of what was being protested is really under threat in any significant way. In fact in many cases things are likely to get better.

Perhaps she means Sharia for all.

They will tell you that burkas are empowering. That being said, I'll never know because I don't want to wear a black tent everywhere I go.

And now!!! Drum roll please!!
