You’re right, better to just ignore millions of people acting around the world together, and dismiss it as confusing with mixed messages. I’m sure there were no real issues brought to light, and obviously none that you think are important for women.
The Million Meg March?
Betty, there is nothing confusing about the fact that 750,000 of us, yes, women, men, children and families marched downtown to voice their dissent and/or concern regarding Trump’s stance on issues ranging from women’s reproductive rights, affordable healthcare, education, immigration, and human rights. What is confusing is your defense of this unqualified, Ill tempered, recklessly dangerous and unprepared reality TV celebrity to lead the greatest nation during these troubling times. Of course it wasn’t just Los Angeles or New York or D.C. that showed up to voice their dissent, but rather Millions worldwide marched to protest the man and his distorted view of America and its role in the world. Wake up Betty, we are legion! We are not going anywhere and we will not be quiet! Our nation was founded on dissent and remains strong because of it.
Go ahead and dismiss the largest demonstration ever held in Washington DC. Pick out a few white men that happen to be on the correct side of human rights. Marginalize a couple caring celebrities that are more woman than you were ever capable of being. Go ahead and give your blind allegiance to a fascist pig that hates women and is reviled by most decent people in this country. It’s who you are, Betty.
Pretty weak, disjointed column so let me clarify…it was an I Am Woman Hear Me Roar demonstration, historic in its worldwide attendance in every major city around the world. The men supported the women…something wrong with that. Trumps actions galvanized hundreds of thousands more women to march and protest against his misguided policies. You can drop the Hillary references and all the other old rehashed points. People are becoming very United and focused against the Trump agenda which affects women and middle class and it’s only beginning.
How odd that a woman should complain about men being supportive of women’s issues. Women would never have gotten the right to even vote without supportive men.
And BTW Ms. Arneson, since you obviously did not attend this March, let me explain that there were men of every ethnic group in attendance, fathers with their daughters on their shoulders, husbands with their wives, and guys with their girlfriends and some guys that just feel women are equal and should have equal rights. I thought it was great.
750,000 and no violence. I think everyone appreciated and welcomed male attendance.
I’m with Betty!
Women’s suffrage had two factions, one wanted diplomacy to persuage Congress, the other chained themselves to the gates of DC. Disruption caused news, to get rid of them, they put it to a vote. By one vote, after a Mother’s plea to her son to let her vote for the first time, women received the vote thus the 19th Amendment. Making noise is rude, but it works.
Obviously, you didn’t march in the 1960-1970’s. We wanted college sports scholarships, birth control over the counter, equal pay and opportunity, and the ability to vote at 18, so we could vote down the war to which we were being drafted. Taking to the streets isn’t nice, but it voices opposition. Factions? Of course, everyone has fear of Trump, me too. All he has in in cabinet are Old White Men and the wife of an Old White Man…that in itself scares me.
