Childcare is something that should be affordable to all. Doesn't matter whether you think they should have children or not, fact is that people are going to have children whether they can afford to or not but keeping the parents out of the workforce because they can't afford childcare is not helping things, now or in the future. And you need those children to look after you when you're old and decrepit.

exactly what has Trump done that is sexist that has not been done or even worse by democrats... .that don't seem to bother you?


like Hillary getting a child rapist out of jail? or Bill committing sexual assault in the white house.... or before he became president whipping his penis out and offering it up to a woman that didn't want to see it... or Ted Kennedy killing a woman and walking away?


you people, have no gall. you don't care one bit about sexism. you only care about damaging the other side politically.
I don't approve of any sexist politician, where do you get the impression that I do? Two wrongs don't make a right my friend, Trump is a sexist (plus many other ists) old fool and don't be mistaken about that. I'm just glad that women are finally making a stand in Congress.

Nice spin. All I saw was a row of people wearing white because they lost an election and are still angry.

So you're so concerned about caring for your children that you'll have them even when you can not afford to pay for their care when you work. OK then.

On a side note, this goes for people bringing children into poverty. To bring a child into poverty is the cruelest thing you can do to a child. Think about someone else besides getting busy and expecting someone else to pay for the results.

My first thought was that they were copying Damas de Blanco.

Heroic women standing up to a dictator.
(Damas de Blanco, that is, not those dimmies in Congress.)

I'll bet you approve or approved of Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton is one example of extreme sexism. Their marriage is a marriage of political convenience based on one day Hillary running for president. We know now that it didn't turn out the way the Clintons planned.

You'd have no problem with Mr Sexism Billy running through the WH again. You were willing to over look that ... making you a hypocrite.

Pathetic. Instead of doing something positive and intelligent, like trying to work together and compromise, they wear white for women's rights which Trump is addressing. Really? These women are representing the women in America? Sad.

Maybe literacy?

If you had read the link you would see it was NOT a protest, but the equivalent of wearing a pink ribbon for BC awareness, or anything of a similar nature. It was a show of support, not protest.

IMO it was a bid for attention on their part. Those white outfits sure went well with those sour puss faces, though.

Was their message "white power"?

I was a child when Clinton was President so had no opinion on him at the time. But I highly doubt they based their marriage on Hillary one day running for President, that seems very very unlikely. I don't like Hillary either but she was the lessor of two evils.
