what was the point of the womans march

I'm honestly confused about it. What was the protests for?
Why are women in other countries doing the March because they "fear trump as president"

The most discriminated against people on earth are women. Doesn't matter what color etc. In any group of people there are always a few that go to an extreme or have their own agenda. Typically those few are focused on (especially by the media) as representing the entire group. The few criminals that that set fires, vandalize property are the ones that are focused on and the reason for the protest is diminished to "All are lazy, ignorant, stupid, ETC." Until YOU are finally fed up then it doesn't matter. No you can't have equal pay, No you don't have the right to control your own body, No you are not equal, just keep your mouth shut and do as you are told. And even other woman go along with it.

@PinkRainbowKisses: Isn't that what women are being told to do Socially, by governments, business, religions ? I don't feel that way but I do see it all around us, everyday. Tell me I'm lying ! It's just my imagination ! That's not happening, anywhere. (Father of a daughter)

@softspokenman: [c=#BF0080]I don't feel that way.. never have. I have two daughters and I doubt they feel that way. I'm not seeing it around us either.[/c]

So it isn't happening ? There are a lot of women that aren't as lucky as You and your daughters, obviously.

@softspokenman: [c=#BF0080]I'm around women all day and no one's ever expressed any concern. I'm not saying it doesn't happen in other parts of the world.. but I'm certainly not seeing it.. or even hearing about it here.[/c]

@softspokenman: Soft .... there is no organized effort against women.

All of us ... even you ... even me ... can always be more empowering for women.

That should be unsaid.

Women have it happening ... it is in all our interests to team up ... salary, wages, taxes, jobs, opportunity, challenge, adventure and fun.

As to us controlling what medical choices a women makes ... that too ... is far from the truth ... one over-reaching incorrectly based Federal court decision has injected the government into women's medical affairs. It is so wrong ... so destructive ... in the spirit of protecting womens rights, the government has tossed women up like a volleyball ... we can do better!

What would you say to them if they did express concern ? Your not seeing or hearing it ? Hundreds of thousands of women around the world and in this country Protesting and you cant see it or hear it ??? Life must be nice on your planet. (sarcasm)

@softspokenman: [c=#BF0080]I'm really not.. of course I see it on TV.. but not around me. I don't feel like I have less rights than anyone else.[/c]

@questionWeaver: I agree, well said.

@PinkRainbowKisses: Glad to hear it. (not sarcasm)

@softspokenman: [c=#BF0080]Like I said, I'm not denying that it doesn't happen. I know it does. I've just been fortunate enough not to have to experience it.[/c]

If anything, in the Western World, we have more rights and freedom than men.
