The popular meme is that the Women's March is simply an anti-Trump march. But it isn't. It's a march for the recognition of issues important to women, that are being buried under the onslaught of anti-PC rhetoric that legitimizes "pussy grabbing" as no big deal and is chipping away at women's reproductive rights and freedoms. Trump is the first modern president who openly demeans women as sexual objects - and supporters find that acceptable.
The marches global - there are marches in all states and in countries around the world where women face far more serious issues, then we do here. It's a worldwide sisterhood.
Women's Marches Go Global: Postcards From Protests Around The World
Sister marches have been organized in all 50 states, and in countries around the world. They have been organized to express solidarity with the aims of the original march: opposition to President Trump's agenda, and support of women's rights and human rights in general.
Given the quirks of time zones, many of those marches kicked off before the event that inspired them. In Paris, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Mexico City, Bangkok, Delhi, Cape Town, and other cities, protesters have already broken out their signs and pink hats in solidarity
Why don't these women EVER have worldwide marches and screaming fits about how Islam treats women?
They are bedwetting across the world about President Trump, has he advocated women having to dress in black tents, be subjected to gang-rape as a punishment, have acid thrown in their faces?
They want to protest in support of women's rights, why aren't they all screaming in public across the world about this....or wouldn't that be Politically Correct, would that be racist?
Do you not see how silly it is to whine that women aren't protesting about what you think they should protest about?
You're welcome to organize your own "Women who hate Islam" march. No one is stopping you.
I don't do protesting, getting on the streets and screaming my head off and showing my boobies in public to make some point, I have class, I was brought up with class and taught how to conduct myself in public.
What I do do and have done for some time is to be involved financially with a variety of organisations for example who are helping Yazidi women and bringing attention to the terrible and horrific situation the Yazidi's are in.
To help a cause you think is important you don't have to protest on the streets screaming and banging pots and pans and announcing your vagina to 20,000 people and the television cameras.
Women who are captured by Isis and kept as slaves endure more than just sexual violence
"Yazidi women seized by Isis are not merely sex slaves – a term which oversexualises their ordeal and diminishes their trauma. They are collateral damage in a systematic attempt to wipe out an entire people"
Yazidi women are not just Isis sex slaves. It is genocide
