trump isn't known for exactly being the nicest to women is he?

i think they have the right to have marches and do what they want to do. these women are smart to be proactive and make sure trump won't do anything to try and erase female existence on governmental pages like he does with climate change and lgbt.

Trump isn't anti-woman nor anti-LGBT, he's pretty pro-LGBT infact.

The knowledge gaps in Police Scotland’s counterterrorism strategy recently exposed by the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) demonstrate that the risks of a potential terrorist attack in the country should not be underestimated.[46] While the spectacle of terrorism is likely to hit major European cities hosting disenfranchised Muslim communities, the possibility that Islamist militants will strike against Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, or Dundee in the future should not be ruled out. This warning was recently echoed by Police Scotland.[47] Aside from the Glasgow bombings, publicly known high-profile incidents include the cases of Glaswegian Aqsa Mahmood, who fled to Syria and turned into a recruiter for the Islamic State in 2013,[48] Aberdonian Abdul Rakib Amin, who joined the Islamic State in 2014 and was killed in a drone strike conducted by the Royal Air Force in Syria one year later,[49] and a mysterious Glaswegian woman who was allegedly ready to carry out a terrorist attack in August last year.[50]

Don't worry, brother. The Adduti brotherhood will avenge you if needed.

They have their right to protest. If they cause harm to nonparticipating people or property, then they should be charged.

Madonna as a main spokesperson? Credibility in the eyes of many many people gone just like that.

She's being so volatile, too. It's like she's trying to avert people from Trump by acting like Trump. Saying "fuck you" to any who disagree with your march is not going to gain you any support. I read on the website for this march that they want to follow MLK's principles. Bullshit.

They have the right to protest. But everyone else has the right to point out that these protests are not only stupid, but also hypocritical.

What are they even trying to achieve? Do they want us to reverse the election or something? This seems reminiscent of Occupy Wall Street, where a mob of people marched around major cities for awhile but accomplished absolutely nothing in the end. (As a note, I agreed with a lot of Occupy's points, but they were a very disorganized group who accomplished zero change because they didn't form any real goals)

It's also hypocritical because these "devoted feminists" never say so much as a word in defense of the women being abused in middle eastern countries and Africa every day. All these first world feminists do is attack abstract issues and perceived "offenses", but they haven't done much that's actually improved the lives of women in the past few decades.

if they were proactive they'd be making themselvses useful and doing volunteer work at Doctors without Borders. Don't call these rakes useful. They're the kind of folk that try to make friends only with folk outside their own ethnicty or gender or something like that so that they get a more worldly outlook on things or something.

Generally agree with Жұқtabby's sentiment, but if feminists really wanted to do some good, they would get drafted like modern, strong wimminz and go to Iraq to fight ISIS. If they kill each other, perfect!

they should also march for all the women in muslim countries


Actually, women's rights groups were some of the first to draw attention to the treatment of women in the Middle East. I'm old enough to remember the Clinton and GW Bush administrations. Prominent human rights and women's rights groups have been on this for decades urging the government to act. They were some of the first to say that we should watch out for these people but no one wanted to risk upsetting our country's oil buddies. Maybe if they had paid attention we could have stopped these terrorist states before they got so big and powerful but it didn't pay to give a shit about women's rights then. Now it serves only as an emotional plea to accomplish other goals. A means to an end. Nothing more.

Women have gained a lot of rights in the past few decades. We have far more financial freedom. We can now apply for credit. We have legal recourse now if we're sexually harassed in the workplace or if our husband rapes us. That last one was only made illegal in 1993. That seems pretty major to me.

To be honest though, this march is mostly about raining on Trump's parade. They're trolling him. The worst thing you can do to someone like Trump is give him a bad turnout/bad ratings. He had a weak turnout for his inauguration and then the women's march ended up being much bigger. It worked too. Trump got hurt and started making wild claims about how many people he had at his inauguration and how big it was and, of course, it a massive conspiracy against him! They fucked with his ego bigtime.
