What does empower mean?

How are they different today than they were yesterday?

Protests and marches help promote causes, and in this case, the cause was to boost the perception of the value of women in society. It empowers women by giving them a voice, and attracting attention to whatever struggles they are dealing with.

They'd have to show what struggles they actually deal with, instead of the nonsense that gets spewed and a lot of leftist feminist idiots just buy into uncritically. They can already speak out. Let's see them present evidence and convince people intellectually, rather than try to harm them financially. But that's not the idiot leftist way, is it?

Women make just over half of the population, and they are not represented equally. I don't pay much attention to the more extreme modern feminist stuff, but it should be apparent that women have been treated unfairly throughout most of history. We are at a time now where the empowerment of women is gaining steam quickly, and I'm very proud that my daughter will grow up in a world where she isn't expected to be less than a man. Presenting evidence and having intellectual conversation isn't effective in gaining momentum in a movement. The republican sweep of elections should be enough to prove that.

They have every OPPORTUNITY that men do. If they CHOOSE not to take advantage of those OPPORTUNITIES, that's their problem. What most leftists are looking for isn't equality of opportunity, but equality of outcome. They don't care what people choose to do, they want quotas. They want 50% of every job field to be filled by women, which isn't realistic. Of course, where a field is filled over 50% by women, again by choice, they never get upset and say they have to hire more men, do they? Because equality isn't what they're after, it's activism.

Your comments struck home with me. I have four daughters. I can remember reading an essay by Susan B. Anthony and marveling at her intellectual ability. Sometimes an obvious grievance to a significant sector of our American society has taken generations to correct. A Woman's Right to Vote and abolishing Separate But Equal as the Law of the Land readily come to mind.

it was a pure joke but I find it funny that the left-which often screams "homophobia" far more than the right is just as quick to make insults based on that status as the right.

The hatred towards Milo from the left is not that he is gay. The hatred towards Ben Carson or Condi Rice from the Left is not due to their color. its due to the fact that they don't parrot the alleged party line that the left thinks blacks and gays should parrot.

With Milo was it not about man-child sex??

Extra credit: Will it hurt the Left?

I say yes and hopefully, it was always a strike in search of a cause...AKA extreme idiocy. Does not appear that much happened, or that anyone wants to talk about it. Even in the very Lefty Seattle
Click to expand...

What do you care if it was or was not?

You seem awfully glad at the prospect that it did not go well. I didn't really care one way or the other...but I certainly would not take pleasure out of it NOT going well.

Which strongly suggests you don't much care for women....why else would you derive such pleasure from their disappointment.

I think we all know what your relationship status is...this video goes out to you Hawkeye10:

Huh?

Never heard about it.


I doubt any working Canadian women would even consider such a thing

If you look at their twitter, it was a march for a basket for progressive wants (they titled as rights), quasi anti Zionism and anti Trump.
I was very poorly thought out and the history of their leaders is sketchy as hell.

Doubt it made much of a real impact.

It was organized by the same people as the womans day march. The sharia law proponent Linda sasour, got herself arrested at trump tower.....


I wonder if they brought that homophobic kidnapper and murderer they love with them.
 
Dunno. Most of my team is women - 6 of 9 people. They were all in work yesterday.

I teach my daughter that what others expect is on them, that her excellence should come from within, not from others expectations. Identity politics is a sham, designed to keep a perpetual "Victimhood" mentality.

And on the plus side...she didnt have to miss any work to attend the festivities.

I don't like identity politics, but I do like seeing people get together to protest or march for something they strongly believe in. Believing that you can overcome some very real disadvantages is not a "victimhood" mentality. Sitting on your hands and just accepting the things you can change is the real "victimhood" mentality.

I wonder how "Disadvantaged" one has to be to be able to skip work, not get paid, in protest of something. What are they trying to change? Face it, this wasn't a womans rights march, just another sour grapes anti-trump protest.


from thier website:


"Anyone, anywhere, can join by making March 8th A Day Without a Woman, in one or all of the following ways:

Women take the day off, from paid and unpaid labor

Avoid shopping for one day (with exceptions for small, women- and minority-owned businesses).

Wear RED in solidarity with A Day Without A Woman"


Take the day off... ok

So woman should not shop at white people stores unless they are women.... ok

Wear red..... Just like the communists in 1908 who started this thing.



I mean you can look here.

https://www.womensmarch.com/principles/

It seems that they are more concerned with immigrants, tax payer funded abortions, and "LGBTQIA" (what those mean I haven't a clue), the environment, etc.... Women seem only a part of what the "Womans march people" want.

I'm sure it was inspired by Trump. I'm just not sure what people expect to happen in this situation. The POTUS is a well-documented womanizer and adulterer. I'm sure his private comments, like telling women to get on their knees, or talking about moving on a married woman like a bitch, didn't help either. The victim in this situation is the person who accepts his actions without making it known that they disagree with it, in my opinion. You can look at these marches and protests as a sign of weakness, but standing up for something is harder than sitting down.

The good thing about these type of things is the glorious jokes, **** posting and trolling on social media.
Definitely good for some lulz.

The surgeon or politician? I'm not sure the politician (given positions) is comparable to Rice. Carson is "hated" because of his positions, not any breaking of line. I don't think Rice is "hated".

I don't think it's healthy to fantasize that ones opponents are a strict gender and/or race cult. No one has a problem with any racial or gender 'breaking of lines'. I think it's pretty obvious why most gays and most blacks are democrats (social issues and economics), the religious aside. There's no need to invent motives.

That assumes that the attention is mainly positive. I think demonstrations like this tend to make women, as a group, look silly rather than helping them.

As you noted, the red part is fitting.
 
Given it got mainstream, international attention and rattled you into your usual reactionary whining, I'd say it was no flop.

Your disdain for displays of female empowerment and solidarity is noted though.
 
I wasn't even aware it happened, so it obviously wasn't terribly successful.
