  So, the Womens March ... What Is It For?

  it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.

  i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?

  ... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?

  Simon 2a is absolutely by multiple agencies. Trump even acknowledged this.

  I own My life you think sexual harassment laws are not in jeopardy by a deviant like him. Who knows what else he has up his sleeves.

  Others do we all think this is a zero sum game. There are many issues that need to be battled against. I agree Russia is one of the primary issues.

  Can't we all just take a day and back the women in our lives. This man promoted sexual assault! What the hell is wrong with us.

  my support is with the marchers in washington and around the country today.

  i was raised through my formative years by my mother and sister while my father was out of the picture.

  they gave me the compassion i have today.

  You believe it does undermine the cause huh. I can understand you saying you think it will. Some things have small beginnings. I don't know what will come out if this march a week from now, a month from now, much less a year from now. And neither do you.

  Simon I see where you are coming from now. I agree the left does need introspection, and believe that much of where we are today is due to regressive leftists. This does not mean that protesting what he stands for and introspection cannot occur at the same time.

  I also see what is happening today as a positive thing. Some may be just venting. Many on the right were doing just the same thing after Obama was elected. It took time for them to regroup and actually present the taxed enough already movement. It wasn't called that originally.

  All movements are emotionally based. For good or ill human nature is governed by emotion. To deny that is to deny reality.Trump has tapped into that. The problem with him is that he has all the markings of a dictator. Republic's, and Democracies have been ended throughout the centuries by people like him. I believe we need both the right and left to be strong in their messaging and what they stand for, and that we need both. He however stands for himself only.

  I responded to this in my other post. I didn't know you were starting this one when I started the other. Some may believe it will undo the presidency, and that doesn't undermine the main cause or what it will accomplish. Sometimes it's not about changing policy it's about protecting what we have.

  One of my favorite sayings used by both sides of the aisle, is all evil takes to spread is for good people to stand by and do nothing. This man is a narcissistic demagogue. In world history these types start small and as far as I know always turn into dictators.

  We have a republic that has been deteriorated over the years by both sides. Very similar to our environment. It is weaker now than it has been at any time other than the mid 19th century, and we know how that worked out.

  Movements galvanizing against misogyny. He poses a clear and present danger to advancements made in women's rights. These advancements need to be defended against over the next few years. Defense is a much more difficult position than offense.

  You really believe hundreds of thousands are marching as a feel good measure. How did we get where we are now with the populist movements of the right? Can anyone here remember the "Tea Party".

  Wow Simon you surprise me. It seems you don't agree with protesting. And to go where you just did in such a simplistic way about rape culture in other parts of the world. Really.

  It's simple. They are standing together against the misogyny of the man. This is how movements start. Often times at the beginning it is a hodge podge of ideas. The danger he poses to women's rights is palpable. If there isn't a United front against him who knows how far he will go.

  It's amazing to me how anyone can say and act the way he has could become president of the free world. It's happened though, and now freedom loving equal opportunity patriots need to stand and are doing so.
