What is this women's march even about?

obviously lack of women's rights in the US

[Gluk the Walrus]

What is this women's march even about? Like what rights do they want? The right to kill an unborned child?

The election, BLM, abortion, LGBT rights, woman's rights, ect. You seem to forget that the president has said in the past that he would grab women by the pussy...

How nice that these A-listers have come down from their million-dollar hill top homes in California to preach to the working class...

Credit to Baldwin, he really made an effort to put on his best working class clothes.

he needs to get off my FB feed

when you say women's rights, what does that mean? It is such a vague term. What rights do they want that they don't already have?

Also Madonna wants to blow up the White House. You go girl!

[Olafson]

They want to have more rights than men, so that they have the same rights. Ya know, if a male and female apply for the same job, the female is chosen. Thats what they want. BECAUSE THERE ARE TO FEW FEMALES IN HIGH RANKING JOBS! ITS THE FAULT OF THE LAW, NOT THE FAULT OF THE WOMEN! Makes sense, right?

[Riddlez]

The rights legally are fine in the U.S., it's just that. especially in the South, LGBT rights are often violated, and MAYBE, just a little maybe a president now sits in the White House who has literally stated in his campaign he doesn't believe in such rights?

The correct term is 'LGBTQ+', you homophobe.

[Olafson]

Yes, that is my point. Legally women and men have the same rights.
A law that prefers females would be discrimination towards men.  And that is exactly what we would almost have gotten in Germany, because I don't know why, stupid politicians I guess.

Equity is the way to equality.

The rights per state are actually very different, some rights still dont even have hate crime laws against LGBT in place.  Oh and again the South is not the most hate spewing part of the country anymore (which I think given the recent election sort of shows that), some places up North have had issues against LGBT populaces for more than 50 years.  But there is still a lot that needs to be done for each state to be on the same page in regards to rights for LGBT folk.  http://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps/hate_crime_laws

Being the most pro-LGBT Republican is like being the least racist member of the KKK. Great, but sorta irrelevant.

So, meanwhile, the new White House Press secretary gave his first press conference and spend it telling blatant lies about the size of the inaugeration crowd. Strap in, America. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

When i say women's rights, i basically mean 'protecting and enforcing' women's rights. Again...

You seem to forget that the president has said in the past that he would grab women by the pussy...

Fucking hell, you think a man like that cares about protecting women's rights?

[Riddlez]

Barely a week in office and his administration has already started blundering.
I will watch this from a secure position and laugh my ass off the next four years.

One positive thing I am hoping for is an increased Defense budget. But that is just selfish =D
