Are you little minds sure that this march isn't protesting ole Billy Clinton and not Sir Donald ? After all, HE'S the guy that molested all those women.
Nope. He had affairs with consenting adult women. A bit of a difference.

LOL. How much cash would it take to pay half a million women?
But we DO know that James O'Keefe was seen on video trying to entice people to riot.

Capacity on suburban and city transportation has been increased to accommodate.
A group from my neighborhood, who voted for Trump, left early this morning.
My son and friends are marching with their friends. Wish I was there.

Sorry, no. "Grab 'em by the Pu$$y" is NOT referring to 'women who threw themselves at him'. You hear only what you want to hear.
Go ahead and tell us how many times Clinton was charged with rape. ZERO.
Go ahead and call out Trump for avoiding the draft five times due to a 'bone spur".
Go ahead and call out Trump for insulting those who died in Vietnam by saying that his avoiding an STD was 'his own personal Vietnam".
Ladies, I support your right to protest, but think you are protesting the wrong thing. Protesting against an issue you disagree with makes sense. Protesting against the voters' choice for President does not. Trump won. Period.
Like 43% of other women voters in this country, my vote was cast for Trump.
Women voters aren't a monolithic voting block. We don't line up and vote based on "gender identity". You don't speak for me.
Keep it peaceful today and don't embarrass the rest of us too much with the silly hats and dumb signs, Ok?
I don't think they are protesting so much against the election at this point--as you said, it's a done deal. He is President.
I think they are sending a message that his views of women are not going to be tolerated, or at least the way he speaks of them. You can't change someone's views, but you can try to get them to change his behavior. If he's smart, he will try to tone it down. The p-grabber statement was not some one-off thing. Those of us in the NY business world have heard stories like that about Donald Trump for years--that's just who he is and how he talks about women.
It was no shock when the p-grabber tape leaked. THAT IS DONALD TRUMP.
Now, it didn't bother me much personally maybe because I was once married to a longshoreman and I worked in the construction industry most of my life. I don't blush or shock easily.
But there are lots of women who have suffered sexual abuse--almost every woman I know has experienced some unwanted violation of their sexuality at some point, in varying degrees, and their reaction is just as valid as my non-reaction.
Donald Trump's a pig when it comes to how he speaks about women. That's not an opinion. It's simply part of who the man is who just became our President. The people elected him despite the fact that he's a pig because other issues overshadowed that for them. But for many women, the piggy part is a big deal, and they are letting the President know how they feel about it. This is America. They're allowed to have their say.

No, you didn't fix anything. You are just crying sourgrapes. If Hillary had won by that very same "flawed" electoral college, you wouldn't have a problem with it.
Not only marching against Trump.
Marching for women's choice, marching for equal pay, marching for keeping families together, marching for affordable health care for all.
Stay safe ladies. Be peaceful. Make us proud.

Your post is filled with lies.
Well, all I can say is all those tw#ts out protesting will do NOTHING to change what is. You want to do something positive?
Get rid of Lycra and Spandex for anyone over size 18. THAT would be a community service if I ever saw one!

These women aren't "being victims."
They are doing something expressly because they don't like the way things are.
Exactly the same as MLK's March on Washington in the 1960s.
Change begins with people expressing their displeasure at the way things are.
This gathering is exactly what is needed to mobilize many at the local level.
If our representatives think that they can now run roughshod over the advances that have been made with regard to access to womens' health care, etc. they will be sorely surprised in 2018.
All one has to do is look at the difference in turn-out today vs. yesterday to see how the wind will be blowing.
Gerrymandered districts and an archaic electoral system does not a mandate make.
If it were not for protests.......
