I must say, I was STUNNED to see on a restaurant T.V. today (tuned to CNN), that millions of women ALL OVER THE WORLD were protesting! It's apparent that some very strong emotions, feelings, and convictions are in play. Probably dissatisfactions that have been building up for months...or years?
This article does a good job of showing the extent of global protests..
www.msn.com... ntp
But it doesn't do a good job of explaining the WHY and WHAT and WHEN. So I'm starting this thread to ask WOMEN (and Men, & "Other"), who identify with, and understand the overall protest movement, to PLEASE chime in, and personally share with the global ATS community:
1. WHY are you upset enough to take time out of your busy life to protest?
2. WHAT are you hoping to accomplish?
3. WHEN will you say, "Hey, our protesting worked! My sacrifices were worth it!"
Wow. Just.........wow.
The fact that you have to ask these questions shows just how far removed from reality you are.

By their ACTIONS shall you KNOW them...
After the Women's March concluded in New York and Washington D.C., countless protest signs were left in notable locations.
After marching, people left their signs on the doorstep of Trump International. #WomensMarch #WomensMarchOnWashington 4 replies 51 retweets 80 likes

Why now and what does that have to do with Trump?

What gets me is that this is being turned into a binary thing.
It's almost as if no women voted for trump.
I've seen plenty of women interviewed who were at inauguration.
All that said, my wife pointed out that any republican politician has an unhealthy interest in women's sexual health and so protesting against any of them makes a sort of sense.
This one's just bigger because all the msm portray Trump as the very devil.

Because Trump objectifies women, and demeans them publicly like a crass schoolyard bully.
Because people he has appointed want to do away with the right to choose, restricting women's freedoms.
Because those kinds of mindsets LEAD to the kind of mindset where an adolescent boys social standing and swimming ability are taken into consideration by a judge sentencing a rape case.
And because the man who has said, and done those things is now your PRESIDENT.
I honestly can't believe I had to explain that.
You actually do not but this is the nature of win at all cost politics. Unacceptable truths are merely swept under the carpet. Welcome to the mud pit where everyone expresses them selves according to beliefs and damn the TRUTH even when it potentially and actually hurts a group that comes from c50% of the population.
Wait for the next sexually assault defence of well my president said it was OK
too grab them down there.
Can you imagine if a black man said that??? It is cool for an ugly white guy though!
Oh they care now but not when Slick Willy was in there??

What policy position did Bill, and the Democrats, support that was bad for women??
The Republican congress is a gigantic threat to everyone except wealthy, conservative, business people.
