I agree!

Women don't possess a group mind.

The abortion activist who support an organization that destroys life and then profits from selling baby parts have a right under the constitutional right to march, but I am proud of my sisters who didn't join the p***y hats ( disgusting and degrading).

The privileged celebrities are trying to remain relevant. Madonna, Judd and those other worn out attention starved celebrity women don't represent me!

None.
By the standards of today, what do women in say England not have that women in America have? And I really don't think a women have it better than men. In some areas, definitely, but that's true both ways and I personally feel some cross analysis by arbitrarily listing things is a waste of time. The modern citizen of the west has "it" better than anyone who has ever lived by virtue of access to technology and beneficial utilities.

I'm curious what your bigger point is.

In addition, the scale here is important. When we say "group" that can mean a lot. In many ways, the aristocrats of the early 20th century had it better than women as a group, which constitutes roughly 150 million people in the United States. Some of those women have almost nothing and miserable lives. Some are quite wealthy. Talking about the social status of 150 million as if it's somehow the same is bordering on insanity, quite frankly.

I'm one of the women who did not march. This doesn't mean I don't support the rights of the women who did, or that i don't oppose Trump. I do on both counts. I'm choosing to focus my efforts on calling my elected officials and supporting organizations that are fighting against actions of the new administration that go against my morals and my base beliefs. Don't mistake having stayed home for being on Trump's side.

As was mentioned in another thread, a lot of those women were out there celebrating the many abortions they and their mothers and daughters have had. Again, no class whatsoever.
Yup. Can't believe some of the disgusting photos I've seen on facebook, etc from this march. Classless, vulgar, and just plain nasty. My wife was embarrassed for these women.

What rights has the administration taken away from you?

We have rights in America and we are very lucky. Women were marching to keep the rights we have. Women were marching for human rights. Women were marching for health care. Women were marching for LGBT equality. Women were marching for safety. Women were marching as a unified solidarity to tell the administration we will resist.
We already have health care, safety and lots of laws protecting women. And if that is what the march was about, why did the pro-life group get banned?

Do pro-life women not have rights too? Shouldn't you march for their rights too? Don't they have human rights? So why ban them?

The OP makes two points;

1. The march was all about abortion rights (which have not been taken away). Nothing else. Otherwise, they would not have kicked the pro-life group out.

2. Rich millionaires that have everything they could possibly want are complaining about their rights being taken away. That is insulting to every woman in the world who really does have real issues to complain about. If they had marched for the rights of women in Saudi Arabia and other countries where they are legally abused it would have been quite appropriate.

Marching for Madonna's rights is pathetic.

Good for you. I am quite aware that millions who stayed at home do not support Trump.

But the march was not about Trump. It was about abortion.
