    You're a total hypocrite if you voted for Hillary and then complain about what Trump SAID versus what Bill Clinton and Hillary actually DID to women.

    a better world for all of us? The why, vision and principle is there in the pdf. It motivate folks to voice their concern and that can eventually lead to votes for candidates that support their platform which can lead to legislation.

    because that's usually the purpose of a protest. For example the marches in the 60s are considered successful because it ended segregation. That was one of the primary goals of the marches .

    what platform? what legislation? you just said none exists. How would you know candidates support a platform that doesn't exist?

    read the pdf. It's there. You asked specifically about legislation, and that specific stuff does not exists there.

    I did. its just generic platitudes that everyone agrees with besides Muslims. Treat women as equals. got it. The few people who don't believe this in this country, you think they were swayed by these marches?

    Wrong. Hillary did very little to women that can actually be verified. There was some fake news about what she did.

    We can also talk about what Donald Trump actually DID to women. He had to settle for sexually harassment, he either committed sexual assault or lied about committing it.

    It's more than that. People that don't believe in this country? Who are you referring to? Marches isn't going to sway everyone. The number of 3M+ is a very positive sign though.

    Maybe they just wanted their voices heard, and obviously since there was such a large turn out I would say that they were successful.

    so the goal was to have people hear you? not to enact change in any way? that sounds selfish.

    the people who beat women, treat them as subhuman, arrange marriages for daughters, demand obedience of their wives, etc. I wonder what group does that :rolleyes:?

    Freedom of speech is selfish?

    Many people who voted for Trump, did so because they felt they did not have a voice in Washington. Was that selfish too?

    Sweet Christmas, how did you come to that conclusion? how can an amendment be selfish? it has not self. wtf does this even mean. I think you mean is speaking selfish to which my answer would be sometimes.

    No they voted for trump to better the economy, get rid of the ACA, and sure up national defense. And yes, these reasons were selfish and appropriate.

    What are you trying to say? Ok, yea, those people isn't likely to change their mind. Thus, a larger movement is required to "by-pass" them.

    you asked me who the target was of these speeches. that's the target. People who think women are subhuman.

    by-pass them how? through legislation? all of the above is illegal and these marches don't argue for any legislation as you have said.

    I don't think I did. You might be thinking of someone else.

    I was assuming you were talking about other nations there... but yea, those specific things you mentioned are not an issue here in the US.

    I told Mrs. B-Bob than tallanover doesn't understand why she marched and suggested she may in fact be selfish.

    She's pretty broken up about it and wants me to pass along to tallanover et al. that she'll never march again with millions of other delusional, selfish people who don't agree with his world view.

    Whew! Glad that's out of the way. I asked her to make me a sandwich and grabbed her ass, as I prepare to watch me some FOOTBALL! *high five*
