I do, indeed. The temper tantrum narcissistic crybaby marchers are being called out for exactly the hypocrites they are. exm presents it quite succinctly:

So many conservatives SO condescending to those of us who did march. It's ok. We made a point without you. One of the "I am not oppressed so I don't need to march" bullet points is "I CAN VOTE." Well, well - how did THAT come about? It's a good thing that suffragettes didn't cower to criticism. In fact, many of the bullet points speak to issues that women have taken to the streets for. They didn't rain out of the sky. And whenever you are ready to do something to help those women in Pakistan or Mali or Guatemala of which you speak - let me know, because I'm totally in. In the meantime, I'm gonna do what I do to try to lift up women in my own country. Haven't you been shouting "America First"? And should we be successful in holding on to rights we have or even gain more, we'll be happy to share with all of you.

No, what dismissed you was your fellow women creating a huge mess in the capitol and rallying behind a celebrity spokeswoman during an impressive assembly who encouraged women and children to obtain their goals by performing fellatio for, and swallowing the semen of, strange men. Turns out that I'm a more respectable supporter of your cause than you are if you can't see that, and as it happens, I'm a man to boot.

They have acid thrown at them and their faces are disfigured but we don't dare discuss this.

As far as the abortion issue - it will never be repealed and yet it always comes up at every election. Let's work to avoid abortions - now there's a concept. :-)

Women and equality - I know for a fact that women get paid huge salaries in the Mariner Industry - Merchant Marines. My husband runs a tug boat out here on West Coast and his boss is a woman who use to run barges up and down the West Coast.

How can some of those young women that I saw on TV get jobs with red hair- rings in their noses and tattoos on their arms? What are they thinking? Madonna is not one to look up to either...just saying. She is now being investigated for her remarks about wanting to blow up the White House. She has no respect period! I would have to say that many of those young girls went to these marches to see the celebs like Katy Perry-Madonna etc.
Very excellent post! Most of these women are just useful idiots for the elite that want things their way and few see it. The fact women like Anita Sarkeesian can get close to a million to make YT videos about women in video games and just talking about women in history yet apparently won't fund near the same amount of as much coverage to help actual women is insane.

And the fact that the likes of Madonna, Ashley Judd etc. can say all the inane things they do and get thunderous applause by so many women is even worse!

Fact of the matter is if women really do care about such issues like women in other parts of the world they sure don't do a good job of it. What is it people always say? First world problems. I would bet most of these women worry more about what they are going to wear the next day than all the women that are suffering horrifically in other parts of the world.

Not to mention their undying support for the rapeugees that they always talk about helping/supporting instead of looking at the big picture.

Ya'll are so focused on Madonna so you can ignore the fact that millions of people came out yesterday to protest Trump's agenda.

Must suck to have your first day on the job start with MILLIONS more than attended your inauguration.

So I can see why you would want to spin that.

Need a safe space?

I see an awful lot of you being very condescending to those who did march. It's ok. We made a point without you. BUT - please read what you are posting. One of the "I am not oppressed so I don't need to march" bullet points is "I CAN VOTE." Well, well - how did THAT come about? It's a good thing that suffragettes didn't cower to criticism. In fact, many of the bullet points speak to issues that women have taken to the streets for. They didn't rain out of the sky.

It drives away those who believe in a smaller federal government and more state and local control. And no, there was minimal consensus as to what the march was about. Some claim it was NOT anti-Trump; others say it was about how horrible Trump is for women and the planet. The liberal spin varies widely depending on which marginalized group one is addressing.

"What difference at this point does it make?" The election was held, every person legally allowed to vote had their chance--in addition to the many illegals in California who got to vote for liberal candidates--and Hillary Clinton and George Soros still lost. That's because the liberal/socialist agenda is destroying much of Europe, and after 8 years people realized that Obama's plans were taking the U.S. in the same broken direction.
Has anyone said that it does give them more importance?

Some number of people decided that they had causes to march for, as is their right.
It's no different than the TEA protests.
Why did they feel the need to march? Why did they feel the need to disrupt town hall meetings?

Bigger question: were they effective?
Yes, they absolutely were.

In reading all of these derogatory remarks about the marchers and the turn-out, I'm wondering if people aren't just a little afraid that this new mobilization will be as effective as were the TEA protests.

Otherwise, if it was so meaningless, why not just ignore it?

I'm repping it for this sentence, which is so true. Time for people to stop making fun of Trump's temper while praising this garbage.

If the women who marched had instead donated that money they selfishly spent on themselves to participate in a narcissistic self-indulgent temper tantrum to a service that provides for women and children in current critical need, it would have been FAR more effective.

Nobody is fooled by "claims" that the temper tantrum march uplifted anyone except for maybe the transportation, hotel, and food, etc., mega-corporations. You all DID increase their profits.
