Thread been a cesspool so far for no reason. How hard is it to say "Good job ladies" and leave it at that?

As a HUMAN, you see that EVERYONE (well not everyone) hates you and wants to see you go, like damn, I wonder how how Trump feels man.
(Of course it is all his doing, that isn't my point)

My ***** when will you arrive at said point?
What are you even going on about?
I am simply stating how wild it is for the entre world to be against you and as a result people are coming together unlike many other times in US History.
I thought that was clear, but I guess not

This is on par with the "Million Man March", they came out and made a statement.

I went. We can't honor those who fought and gave their lives for social justice Monday, inaugurate a racist, misogynist, xenophobic fraud on Friday, and just sit at home on Saturday.
If you're referring to "White feminism," or the suppression/exclusion of women of color by White feminists who claim to speak for all women, I believe the organizers planned this march with intersectionality in mind - and that was evident not just in the diversity of the speakers, but in the attendance of the event itself.
There's a big difference between standing WITH someone and speaking FOR them.
If you're implying that White women have it so good they don't need to march, I would suggest learning more about the intersectional nature of inequality. In the same way that people try to make it seem like there's no such thing as racism, only economic injustice, people are attempting to dismiss or minimize sexism and other forms of inequality. Racism doesn't only matter if it makes or keeps you poor.
Just look at President Obama. No matter how wealthy or educated or powerful you are, you can still be subjected to racism - and face things that even the poorest and most marginalized White man does not.
In that same way, even the most privileged White women are still affected by aspects of sexism that a poor or otherwise disadvantaged man in America will never have to deal with.
There are PLENTY of reasons for White women to march. There are plenty of reasons for EVERYONE to march right now. If you care about human rights, you have cause to march.

There's a bunch of sexists on this site that call anyone who sticks up for women's rights "simps", "SJWs", "soft", etc. All they care about is "the yambs"

I'm not implying that most of NT is like that (although it used to be a while back
) just saying that kind of people are definitely on here. Most of the current NTers in General are a lot more mature, intelligent, and open minded than the NTers that used to be out here in full force until around 2010. Unfortunately some NTers never grew up

I was at the march in Los Angeles. It was great and reminded me that although conservatives have a majority of the elected positions right now, the whole sociological landscape of America is different and the general public demands a minimum standard of progressivism that would have been unimaginable just a decade ago.
In 2004, when I was in college and many NTers were born. the expectations of marginalized groups were so much lower.
Gay people were in the closet, trans folks were casual punch lines, women knew that cat calling was normal, low wage workers knew that they deserved poverty wages, black folks knew that they were just supposed to fear the police and undocumented people knew that they and their children could be deported at any moment.
No matter what happens in terms of policy, our moral compass has shifted. Marginalized people have certain natural rights and anyone who denies them that is fundamentally illegitimate. Support for starvation wages or police brutality or sexual harassment is no longer a valid "point of view" it is now the marker of hostile and soon to be beleaguered and besieged minority.
These marches were a great start but we have to keep up the pressure.

Exactly. I was there for both on Friday and Saturday. Friday felt like a funeral and Saturday felt more like a celebration.

People in here are assuming this wasn't discussed, it was actually a very heavily discussed topic...but miss me with the "excluding white women from the march". White women themselves were ******** on their fellow white women for essentially selling themselves out.
Yep. I saw lots of white women openly booing and ridiculing other white women that were coming out of Trump Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue. Telling them how they should be ashamed of themselves and how they "sold out". It was a great sight to see and witness.

That's what I love so much about this. It wasn't just main liberal states and districts, but it was world wide. A woman in Africa supporting a woman in Philly and vice versa, beautiful.
