Realize this and step out of the matrix into reality. Those that participate in these things are showing how they are pawns that are easily influenced and manipulated by others.

Not an admirable quality.
Yes folks this is what "the shut up and take it" percentage of population claims.
Attitudes like this are sad .... and really show how some people are okay with passively letting bad things continue to happen.

They are still singing he hit me and it felt like a kiss to listen to the melody and not the words.

Not laughing.... because it is not really funny... just disrespectfull.
Hopefully it does not take some random man to "grab a woman by the *****" in your family for you to understand why there is so much outrage. It is these little disrespectful digs and insults directed towards women that get carelessly thrown out that need to be addressed and stopped. Stop making jokes at other people's expenses. Laugh at your own rights getting trampled.... but I am not okay with careless disrespectful clowns making a joke out of the actions of millions of people who hits the streets to protest and protect my rights yesterday.
What rights of yours are "getting trampled"? Please be specific. What rights do you have that have been threatened as of TODAY? Again be specific.

The joke is the hodge podge of demands that end up making no sense and a bunch of wound up people look foolish.
When people act like lemmings with no clear cause of course there's going to be jokes bandied about, yesterdays "mess" called a protest just begs for it to happen...

And that's just for starters. What it accomplished is simply too numerous to mention. On day one these women stood up and spoke out. I don't see strong women like these sitting on the sidelines any longer, and that movement will continue to grow.

Conservative women sit on the sidelines and do as their man tells them, but not educated and strong women.
Your laundry soap box collapsed when Hillary lost. Time to move on...

So I guess only liberal women are "strong" women, eh?
What exactly is a "strong" woman anyway? I've always thought that was a condescending term. We live in a society or aspire to live in a society with equality so why the qualifier? It's as if the default for women is *not* strong and we need some qualifier to identify the strong ones.

It is quite likely that the answerd are : 1. Nothing. 2. No. and 3. None.
So the entire thing, from start to finish, was a waste.
Oh, yes, they "got their message out there". Then, it promptly disappeared into the great uncaring universal void.
Net gain: Zero, zilch, nada.
Again, a total waste.
You need to work on convincing yourself that it was a total waste, because most of us know that it was not. But I get it that Trump fans are scared of the implications of what happened yesterday, if I supported him I would be too.

The longer I live the more I'm coming to understand that there is an unbridgeable gap between the ideologies of left and right. We talk right past one another because we do not speak the same language nor base our beliefs on the same binding moral values.

Right: loyalty, purity, authority
Left: compassion, fairness

And ne'er the twain shall meet.

Note: My thanks to Peter Hays Gries, whose books and articles have been invaluable in my attempt to understand the widening gulf in American politics. I recommend him for those who are similarly interested in how we come to think the way we think.

Protests around the world.

All across America in red states and blue states, large cities and smaller towns. In major cities all around the world.

Peaceful protests w/o violence, sending a strong message that can't be ignored.

Around the globe? If you ever see me at a march to protest the inauguration of another country's politician, please, I beg you: shoot me in the head. Because that's some saaaaaaad $h!t. And if I ever sink that low, I don't want to live no mo'.
