WOMXN'S March

Some of this could belong in the humor section but for the sake of political discussion Soapbox is good.

I read this homemade sign that reads: If men could get pregnant birth control and abortion would be safe & affordable & a holy sacrament. (Plenty of capitalization and cramped wording.)

So, three things come to mind.

1) We wouldn't need women anymore.
2) The same issues would continue to exist regarding birth control and abortion.
3) Now men would become hormonal once a month and have hemorrhage cycle.

On the plus side, the embarrassment of buying tampons at the grocery store would be gone.

An entertaining comment I saw regarding the protests:

So a bunch of women are marching in protest so a man will take them seriously and fix their problems for them?

I just hear another comment:

"Trump got more fat women to get out and go for a walk in one day than Michelle Obama did in 8 years."

I just read this out loud to HH6 and she totally lost it, tears flying in hysterical laughter. Quoting, "perfect, absolutely brilliant!". It took her a full minute to compose herself.

Relax Francis, it's mostly satire. I've no grievance with anyone exercising their right to protest or peaceful assembly.

I might probably be mocking several thousand or hundreds of thousands of the protesters for what they are protesting about because I find it goes against not only our constitution but it goes against common human decency and decorum.

Now, since the public rancor brought to our daily lives since the campaign trail rhetoric by the democrats to discredit the republican candidate for words he had in private conversation (of which I find humorous but distasteful) were made public. I have been forced to use a great amount of restraint and avoidance of our constitutional process to elect a sitting president for office; so that I may raise and be the father of a nine year old boy who repeats everything he hears.

Chants and shouting "Grab my pussy" "Grab this pussy" and all the hand painted signs of vaginas on public display in the media coverage are simply not a "grievance" up for public consumption.

Now, the absurdity of suggesting that if men could become pregnant would somehow fix all that's wrong with Roe vs. Wade, the Bible or the interpretation of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights...I'm all ears. I'm not religious enough to say abortion is a sin, or feminist enough to agree that abortion is a woman's choice after making bad choices, or for or against other medical reasons of host life and fetal termination for grave health reasons or financial capacity. I'm not for or against abortion, and not because I don't have a reproductive system. I just simply think the government shouldn't be involved and I shouldn't be forced to pay for it for someone else who made poor choices!

And now for the other "perceived grievances" on display yesterday. Can you show me where in the constitution or where exactly Donald J. Trump before becoming the President of the United States actively promoted salary caps for Hollywood actors, female musicians, or women in the workforce upto and including female CEOs of multimillion dollar companies or has shown a preponderance of evidence to support he or the constitution to have actively discriminated based on sex, race, religion, age, and now sexual orientation?

Or was that just what the liberal media and the Democratic Party have had to say?

So what was the point of yesterday's march if not a condemnation of the political policies of the last eight years or longer. A lot of talk and little progress has been made but none of it has anything to do with President Trump - YET!

I had the same experience when I read that several Canadian women were turned away at the border when they announced at customs they were heading down to DC to protest Mr. Trump. I laughed even harder when I found out they were detained for a couple of hours and now require more documentation when they next visit the US.

Feminist have no one to blame but themselves and they are pissed.

I've watched this spectacle since the late 60's ebb and flood. Each time it's flooded they have set themselves back and had to start over again. Some if not all advances made in small increments were washed away in the popular opinion backlash.

They don't just want equality they want to have superiority of thought.

If they had told Hillary, no, not you, not this time, they would have been more successful than at any point in history to advance their social mandate. But, they doubled down again as they have in history before and came away with the counter effects of their bullhorn bullying.

Every time I see a car with a "Feel the Bern" bumper sticker, I smile and ask, what could have been...and then I say...thank you Hillary. Thanks for everything!

I'm still waiting for all the Hollywood elites and those in social media types to move out of the country and renounce their citizenship. Guess I'll be waiting a long time, all talk, no action.

I wonder what would have happened at the borders (north and south) if 2-million dissatisfied American people tried to cross? I'm thinking they would be denied and turned back.

"Feel the Burn!"

Smile Women's March

Do you want a women's prospective to this March? To me, it was a bunch of hooey....Well, to be truthful I think some of them are just very bitter about who was elected President and think by crying, and stomping around like little school children, they can change the outcome. Stop complaining and go on with your lives and stand up and support this Country. I did not vote for Trump, but as an American, it is our duty and responsibility as citizens to stand with the President. This shows unity, strength, and helps this country heal. I do not feel by being a woman that I am threatened in anyway, I do not feel I lack opportunity, I am not worried about losing the right to choice, or my rights as a women in this country. I am not a feminist, but I do believe in equal pay, equal rights, and equal respect as everyone else. I have no issues with a man calling me "sweetheart or beautiful", I enjoy a man holding the door open for me, saying hello, and telling me that I look lovely today. I don't think as a woman that I can do all the things that men do, and I don't want too. To me, they have forgotten what it is like to be a Woman, and this country has become so politically correct, that it is insane. So I want to stand up for all us real women and say, hey all you men start calling us Beautiful again, hold that door, and a whistle or two would help

I appreciate this post! I still hold the door open for my wife, and complain when she forgets and grabs for it.

Just like an ODA, we all have all roles. God forbid we ever forget what makes each other special, and determine that we can it all by ourselves.

Thanks for your post. Makes me want to buy flowers for HH6!

Feminism = crabs in a pot

They demonstrate no loyalty nor appreciation for the system that has liberated them from the law of the jungle.
When push comes to shove, there will be no loyalty demonstrated among their own.
