However, I was smart enough to not fall into that mindset and I also realized that she was really the strong one in the family. He may have huffed and puffed and thought he was stronger, but she was truly the one who kept our family running smoothly, and she survived long after he died.

Your post is so antiquated and self promoting that it shows me why you think Trump is a fine example of manhood. Birds of a feather and all that sort of stuff.
Don, we all know that that it's the men who do the bull work in law enforcement and the military. Also it's men who do the vast majority of the sh1tty jobs here that make this country run.

Anitiquated and self promoting I don't think so...I'm more deplorable...and proud of it...

Women are marching not only in D.C. but around the entire world. Trump is universally despised.

Thousands attend Women's March around the world after Trump's inauguration

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?
Great post. I agree. All I can think is why waste your time with this? From a logical standpoint, it changes nothing whatsoever. People should stop being victims and do something with their lives if they don't like the way things are.

Many of them work and have good jobs and are productive and accomplishing goals. They aren't marching because they are losers.

This is such a wonderful sight. Hundreds of thousands of women are marching against the misogynist President who just won an election and was inaugurated, even though his female opponent had 3 million more votes than he did.

And when you tally up the women all over the world the numbers are in the millions. Strong, passionate, educated women standing shoulder to shoulder in opposition to him all over the world. From Washington D.C. to Chicago to L.A., to Africa, Australia and across Europe, women are standing together and speaking out.

This makes me proud to not only be an American, but to be a human being. Thank you ladies, I hear you all.

So what? We'll add this to the list of protests that in 6 months will mean...... NOTHING...

Chicago is expecting more than 50,000 women.

It's highly organized and permitted, with defined start and end times.

Capacity on suburban and city transportation has been increased to accommodate.

A group from my neighborhood, who voted for Trump, left early this morning.

It has nothing to do with these women not liking men and has everything to do with them not liking THIS ONE MAN. I feel they are not only raising their opposition to him as a despicable human being, but also because of what they feel he will do to damage our country.

These women are not attacking men at all........some were on the radio the other day on NPR, and their concerns are no different than the concerns a lot of us men have. This march, and the protests in many towns, is simply their way of showing they are not in acceptance of anything that is going to harm us as a country. They are good Americans, standing up for America.

Hope that clears up the "mystery".

^^This is part of the reason the women are marching today. ^^^ This mindset has been awakened and emoldened with this election...to the point that there is pride in such mindset.
