Quote:So, judging from the few responses I've read, we no longer want to allow peaceful protesting because these "snowflakes" need to get over their concerns?


My wife went to the march. It wasn't just for people in this country--it was women's rights worldwide.


Look, the fact is, our new President has said a great many things that have shown he has little respect for women in general
. When the leader of your country says things like that, it makes people afraid that he might act on his beliefs and turn back the clock.


Apart from that, conservatives in general have galvanized behind him and pretty much defend his every word and act at this point. So not only do we have a leader who seems pretty sexist, we have people who are now backing him wholeheartedly regardless of what he says or does.


It wasn't necessarily about campaigning fot equal rights; it was a statement that women matter, their rights matter, and they are worthy of respect. My wife is pro-life (which goes much deeper than birth) and went because she agreed with pretty much everything else.


The protest wasn't anti-Trump. It was just to make a statement about things that these people feel matter and need to be kept in mind.


As an aside, a rule of the march was not to leave garbage afterward--something my wife is absolutely furious about.


And by the way, good for Trump for his tweet about the protest. He handled that very well, and I agree completely with what he said.
