I wasn't even aware it happened, so it obviously wasn't terribly successful.

Are we to speculate where your attention was beside the front page of every major source and every opinion show (especially political comedy) for days? Ice fishing?

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.

The joke isn't that Hawkeye is gay... the joke is that Hawkeye is lonely. ... that's how I understood it.

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

I didn't notice any difference.
 
I didn't really hear anything about the marches. I know some parents had to find daycare for their children or stay home from work because a few schools had to close for the day. *eyeroll*

I don't have the time to watch much TV, and certainly don't waste what little time I do have on TV news or politics. I do check Google News for anything interesting once a day, but didn't see anything about the Day without Women.

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.

So is Bill Clinton, and WHILE in office. I think the motivation is more a hatred of Trump than standing up for women's rights.

I bet Google news ran the story. I wonder how you debate current events without more reference material. At any rate, your admitted tiny amount of attention to news makes your conclusion, previously, absurd. You wouldn't know most things that happen anywhere checking Google once a day.

Do you generally gauge the success of something on whether you personally know or heard about it? Or is that kind of laughable "logic" reserved for things scorned.
 
The problem with any "Day Without a ________" stunt is that it runs the risk of no one noticing. And that's what usually happens.

Blaming every civil rights demonstration on a conspiracy against Trump and without real merit is just a cheap and intellectually dissatisfying method of dismissing a topic.

Pretending the country, let alone world, is perfect and in no need of activism, it's just paid anti-Trump demonstrations, is lunacy.

I'm not the one blaming it on Trump, I was responding to the poster who was.

Some members will claim women already are equal so there's no point. I suppose that matches well with a conspiracy against Trump.

And some like myself will claim they have more rights than men.

Let's not say some. You. I could count more Truthers than members would abide such ridiculous victim fantasy. The slightest bit of sociological education or critical examination (not from a freak blog) dissuades any notion of such. That Upside-Down World exists only for the lunatic fringe.

Exactly. Most of the participants were women who didn't have a job in the first place or were teachers who can abandon their job functions without consequence anyway.

I know, I know, the majority(you know men that are the minority) can't be oppressed or whatever. I know exactly what you're angle here is and I find it to be gibberish.

How many times must it be explained to you. By majority, in the context of social dynamics as opposed to population demographics, we refer to a power majority. The power majority usually coincides with the population majority but not always, for example South Africa and Women. Women do not lose and gain equal opportunity as the scale tips back and forth near 50%. It's a social thing.

Gosh, polls results are becoming too predictable in DP.

You can explain it all you please and it will continue to be meaningless. In terms of power the only ones that truly have it are old men and women. I suppose you could say old men have it in greater supply than older women, but the point remains regardless. If you think the laws are at all equal or not in any sort of way slanted towards women then you need to educate yourself on the laws.
 
It was, all in all, disastrous. There were very few headlines about it, unlike the Women's March, which was a catastrophe of its own. It made no difference, had no impact, and probably got people fired, just the Day Without Immigrants did. If these types of people really wanted to make a change, they'd go out and perform jaw-dropping tasks and actually put their life to use in the world and make it mean something. Mother Theresa, for example, is remembered as an individual who changed the world with her own life. She didn't rally in groups to decry things, she went out and changed what she didn't like and used her life to pave way for others to do the same.

An event must compare to a flock of Saint Theresa's to be meaningful? What a joke. People can do more than one thing, stop pretending all the participants do nothing.

The march was a huge success, without a single arrest despite numerous participants across the country. The Day Without, in commemoration of Intl Women's Day, did well enough to stir the cretins around here.

There was plenty of coverage and progress continues.

You are talking about it. It was thus successful.

How many people are talking about the Twats for Tots March?

And there you go.

Apparently you need the Day Without Women to be unsuccessful. O

Many great Queens went to march. Most of them extended Favors to tens or hundreds of knights. If it is unfair to shame Queens for extending favors to knights, it should be as unfair to shame a man for presumably being single.
