We march for women's rights, civil rights, human rights, rights for LGBTQ citizens, workers' rights, climate change, the disabled, to denounce sexism, violence against women, racism and to remind this new administration that they work for US!
This January I started my eighth year as a temporary worker for the same corporation. I do get paid good; but I have never been offered a full time position with the company even though I am a trainer. They prefer to keep employees without benefits or security - we are all replaceable and never ask for better working conditions, benefits or pay.
While I personally do not mind that system (because of my personal circumstances); I see many other employees that get jerked around all the time. The company uses a carrot - but never comes through for the majority of employees.
All of the supposed problems you think that Trump brings to office are enhanced when families have no money and no security. Unrestricted legal and illegal immigration brings down wages and employers do not have to provide security - you are replaceable. When employers have to compete for labor; they treat their workers better - job security and benefits. American workers are also fighting a losing battle against automation and that will only put even more pressure on the system.
sure but did they show up by the thousands in almost every state and around the world to show their opposition?
No, because that has nothing to do with getting elected as POTUS, not "showing up" to protest, and certainly not being from other parts of the world. The American citizens who actually showed up to vote a few months ago decided the direction the country should go in.
So what's with these show business people? What's with these loud far-left-wing opinions all the time? Does anyone know what this is about?
There are multiple reasons. From staying relevant and getting their name and picture in the media to the need to justify their otherwise unimportant (but financially rewarding) occupations/lives with something they think is substantial, i.e. sociopolitical causes.
I can't believe the disgusting, sexist comments I've read throughout this post and you wonder why women are marching? Seriously? Because of people like you. Because of our disgusting POTUS. Because we will not sit down and be quiet while you try to send us back to the 1950's.
tell us how is Trump is going to send you back to the 50's?....you should get an Oscar for your dramatic acting.
I seen more sexist crap from Hollywood and the music industry and I don't see anybody marching against Hollywood or protesting the garbage that comes out of that industry.....but its all Trump's fault.
A very, very, very tiny miniscule portion of women..... so small, not quite seen under a microscope....
