Those battles were already fought and won long ago. Women are half the workforce and more than half the college student enrollment.

And that is the effect of women which is what this was all about. Get it now
Got it before this protest. We all know women are essential in the workplace. We didn't need the reminder.

Well too bad, you got it anyway.

I didn't pay attention, but if I had young children in one of the two school districts that closed, I would have either had to take a day off or paid extra daycare fees. That would have made me mad since we aren't losing any freedoms so the whole thing is pointless.

I'm looking out at the mall now. It's just business as usual. I hope those kids won't have to make this day up in the summer.
Quoted for truth.

The rest of us get to work 2 jobs and work 7 days a week with no days off since New Years Day.

That just proves the participants' lack of reason, common sense, even intelligence. Women with a progressive/liberal agenda tend to lose their grip on reality and become very self-focused.

It's just a bunch of leftists (and throw in a few naive people in there thinking they are fighting for a cause) that are against Trump but using Women as a convenient platform and to get more people that otherwise wouldn't be on the Left, to join in their protest.

Expect more of this every few months but in different forms. These "resist" activist groups are trying to get creative in their protests.

I went to work, my office is 90% female, we were all there, proudly, to do our jobs. Those women don't speak for all of us.

I don't get where the whole "women are losing rights and are unimportant" thing is coming from anyway. Is it because Hillary lost and she's a woman?

I don't care what skin color, what's between her legs, etc..she was just a horrible candidate with a terrible past and didn't really connect with common people. Her whole election was "It's my turn now, I deserve it. Donald Trump said bad things so vote for me". And that was it.

But when it comes to women...I LOVE women. Women, in many ways, are much stronger than men and can do so much in this country. But the whole narrative is that if a man thinks a woman is attractive or hot, he's instantly a perv and doesn't value her mind and worth. But if a man doesn't think a woman is hot, he's misogynistic and a pig. It's a strange lose-lose situation that virtually came out of nowhere.

I don't remember any of this stuff 5-10 years ago. Heck, I've even worked for a few woman owned businesses and women high in power in companies.

Libs have just gotten where they have nothing left to protest and that's what they do best.
They don't have a platform and can't tell us what exactly they want.

All the strong women I know were at work or with their kids yesterday.

I just hope all these women were home in time to feed their cats.
