My whole thing is they should call it what it is. It's a womens march/rally against trump/ current political administration and that is OK. But they should call it that. I feel its repackaged as something else which is intellectually dishonest. I am all for women marching, womens rights, 150%, even women marching and hating on trump. The modern version of feminists and many big civil rights movements are not holding to the formula set forth by people like MLK, who were extremely effective at getting things accomplished and not just making a scene. We knew exactly what they wanted to accomplish and they communicated it beautifully. That's my thing, and why i think I understand the OP

So, the Womens March ... What Is It For?
by Simon init 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?

National Co-Chair of the Women’s March Linda Sarsour openly advocates for including sharia law in the United States... No-f-cking-thankyou!!
I don't know what modern feminism has become, but it doesn't seem to be really about equal rights, to echo's simon's OP, what is the mission? What is the goal?

A women's march would be awesome, a "hate trump/promote shariah law political rally masquerading as a women's rally" is not as cool. Just saying

Look at the reality - a women who is actively promoting an ideology that promotes and practices the worst and most widespread barbarism and oppression of women anywhere on the planet ever becoming the focus of the march supposedly for women's rights. Can you not see the hypocrisy?
Amen to that. It makes my head hurt it's so hypocritical,
pro-shariah??? WTF??? Look up the ways Shariah law takes away women's rights and hurts them in a way that has no place in the modern world

Has your name or reputation been maligned by the Witness gossip-mill?
by stuckinarut2 inas we all know, witnesses routinely share in gossiping, slandering or maligning the name and reputation of those who are "spiritually weak" or ones who "fade" or "stop associating".. they feel it is ok to speak badly of such ones who "have left jehovah's organization".. of course, some of the worst perpetrators of this are elders and their wives, who insidiously plant negative stories in the minds of all they interact with in the congregation.
they may never have actual facts, but since when do facts matter to witnesses?
however through such conduct they manage to separate people from one another, or cause rifts amongst former friends.. this sort of conduct is plainly inappropriate.. but what scriptures could be used if the opportunity arose to confront such ones about the way they have behaved?.
