I thought this was supposed to be pro-woman? NOW it's a protest?
I thought this march was supposed to be a celebration of women?
NOW it's just a ***** fest about men.
It started out being about women. Then it came about women of color. Then it became about women of color who support killing babies. Then it became about women of color who support killing babies and hate men.
So progressive.

I was down in the one in Cincinnati. It started at my favorite park that we take our mutts to.
People were super nice. Couple thousand people. Zero cops. Also zero attendance in the cordoned off media section.
As we were leaving a bunch of a-holes with Russian signs and other garbage showed up yelling and screaming. **** em. Should have done this stuff on November 5th. Too bad, so sad.

Seems like opportunity lost.
Feminism was hijacked by misandry back in the 90's.

That's very disingenuous. This is possibly the largest protest in this country's history.

Huge, massive crowds. And only the DC march had any significant planning. These protests are largely spontaneous (outside of DC).

I didn't even know there was a protest going on in Houston.

No, its an accurate description. Just because hundreds of thousands are throwing a temper tantrum doesn't change the fact that it is a temper tantrum.

Good info Tom!
My daughter said they were expecting about 5,000 for the march she is attending. I told her to expect quite a few more.

Hardly spontaneous. The one in Atlanta has been planned for weeks. You do have to get permits for these mass gatherings.
Women vote in larger numbers than men.
They go to college in larger numbers than men.
My wife, who has a professional job, was saying she was having a hard time figuring out what this was about. Well its just a temper tantrum by some sore losers.

I asked my wife who was with me what the protest is about and she said when heard friends say its because they think they are going back to being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. To which my wife added its just a bunch of suburban white chicks upset about Hillary.

So your view on the Boston Tea Party was "temper tantrum"? How about the Million Man March or the anti-Vietnam War protests?

Yea. I think it will be by the time this is over.
BTW, I went to Fox News' website. I can't find the coverage for these MASSIVE protests on the splash page. EDIT...Its in the business section. Not even much of a headline.

No it won't be bigger. They won't fill the mall. At least 500,000 per DC officials today. This looks MUCH bigger than even that. I lived in DC for 5 years. I've seen big protests. I even lived around the corner from the Supreme Court and saw plenty of Pro-Life marches. The entire mall from the Washington Monument is completely filled. As are the sides and surface roads for blocks in every direction.
This is a massive protest and will swamp anything the Pro-Life movement can manage. Even with a year of planning.
