I would love nothing more than to see my little grandchildren grow up to be tolerant, well-spoken, and compassionate citizens who don't need to scream, spit, or speak crassly to be heard or succeed in life.
Trump's comment was made in a private discussion. It wasn't a public speech.

As far as the 'scream, spit, or speak crassly to be heard or succeed in life' bit, Hillary screeched and shrieked her way through the election, and called half the US voting constituency deplorable. Publicly.

Have you heard the expression "water seeks its own level?" You choose to be exposed to this filthy talk. And worse, you are making that choice for your daughter.

If "gross" talk is common amongst your social circle, seek better quality people to associate with. You owe it to your daughter not to expose her to that lunacy.

If these foul mouthed women work with you, seek a different job and file a complaint with the HR dept.

If these young women are family members, refuse to associate with them.

Stop the whining. Get an education. Take the initiative to change your life.

Marlenie, you've no idea what you're saying. Please provide evidence that women believe Trump will have them living like women in the 50s. In what way? Specificity please.

How did women live during "prehistory levels?" All the women "in power" in Europe? Really? Link?

For your daughter's sake, get an education.

The Million Whiner March is already succumbing to infighting. The Black women are telling the White women that they have to recognize their White privilege. And the March organizers banned a Right To Life women's group from participation (as if they're not actually women just as much as the pro-abortion contingent ).

If....If....If.

Even with that qualifier, you are still assuming.

You don't know her level of education. Perhaps she is a teacher in a troubled area.

Perhaps you can point me to a post that references that she has a daughter. She doesn't mention in the post you are replying to that she even has any children.

Trump won the largest woman demographic. These women are protesting the results of their own kind's votes. They are protesting women's suffrage.

^^^^^ This is why I clicked on this thread...to see if someone had posted this. The organizers are what I refer to as 'lockstep progressives'.....variance on an issue that isn't the direct focus of the protest - not allowed.

I think many will show up, and I have no idea what they'll actually be protesting

I don't think they have any idea, either

While her writing could improve, how do you know what level of education she has attained? Can you point me to posts that reveal or a post that revels her level of education, and that she has a daughter?

Sore losers that Trump won? Canada? London? While I do agree that Trump Election started all this in the US, it goes far beyond him and his attitude towards women. It also includes basic civil rights for all, including "Gay" Men, "Mexican" Men, "Muslim" Men, "Poor" Men too. Discrimination is discrimination no matter who it is directed at.

It is an American President dissing about every major race, ethnicity,disability, and religion, not solely gender.
