I asked what it was about this rally that made people want to attend. No answers. The website provided is typical same ole, same ole. I would go to D.C. If it was the right rally. I would not go if it is a bunch of victims whining because they are victims. IMHO Volunteer at schools, churches and organizations where you can help young women improve their lives, Not a rally for a cause you can't even explain.

Why am I attending the rally?
 
Why am I attending the women's rally? I am a straight white woman, wife, mother and grandmother of six little girls. The rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized, and threatened many of my friends: people of color, the disabled, the GLBTQ community, people who have religious beliefs that are different from mine, immigrants. We will rally throughout the US in numbers too great for the new administration to ignore on their first day in office. We will march and stand together in solidarity with our partners and our children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families -- recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country.

It is for women not men who support women's rights.

GG thats a very childish response. Im not a woman and Im not going anywhere, however, I have 2 daughters and 3 grandaughters that Im concerned about. I dont understand why women shouldnt try to make life better for themselves and their families.

To both of you...well stated!!

:bowdown:....:bowdown:....:bowdown:

What I find very interesting and puzzling, is that those women who would attack their own gender for standing up for equality and rights are the same ones who now benefit from those like yourselves...who did the same thing in previous generations.

I just don't get it. :confused:
