I've kept quiet, and I don't make fun of people for being "fat". I do have to ask though as I'm curious, what rights are these women avoided? I've watched and read news all about these marches. Seems to me it was nothing more than an anti-trump pep rally. They're not lacking in pay, they can get their abortion, they can vote. What are they being oppressed about? I have a wife and 3 daughters, I'm all for a woman's right. I'd love for one of mine to be president, or something great. I just don't see where they're oppressed. Please explain.
They haven't been avoided of rights. That is not what I am upset about. I am upset by many of you depicting women as dumb and fat for standing up for what they beleive. What a wonderful lesson to teach your daughter! "If you beleive in something, you are fat and stupid." And to those pointing out the women that are fat, shame on you for deligitamizing their right to protest because they are overweight. And to those that claim they are stupid, shame on you for assuming that because they don't agree with you, she must be a dumb woman.
Imagine your mothers looking on this forum and reading these posts. What do you think she would say about what you have posted?

You still haven't answered the question.
The great thing is, I don't have to answer it because they have the right to think and say what they want.
Of course they do! And I have a right to express how I feel about them marching about nothing.
I would assume that based off the remarks president trump has made about women, and his actions towards women, that the feel threatened of oppression. It doesn't mean they have been oppressed directly. Still, if a woman feels they are under threat of oppression, whether one feels it is legitimate or not, they have the right to protest. That is what makes this a great county. Free speech is a wonderful amendment to the constitution.

All of you are disgusting and do not deserve to have any free political thought. Each one of you posting about how women that are standing up for their rights are seen as 'fat' or 'ignorant' deserve a firm kick in the privates. They have a right to protest. You should respect that. Also, I hope none of you currently or ever have wives or daughters for their sake.
So they're mad about what trump said, yet have no problem being partly led by Sarsour? The same woman who protweets about shahira law! Do you know what women's rights are under that law? I'm just saying, it was nothing more than anti trump propaganda. If a female is being oppressed, I'd be right beside them for my girls, but you'll have to forgive me for not being moved by this ignorance.

I don't disagree. The protest was very anti-trump. I don't know the law you are referring and I doubt many of the protesters did. I still don't think you can delegitimization their march based off of what the organizers said. I assume many women had their own reasons for marching, regardless of how backwards one person that had a hand in organizing a protest in one city of the world (D.C. I am assuming). There were many other marches organized by other woman leaders all over the world. Hard to say that it was all ignorance just because of what one person believes women rights should be, even if they organized one of the marches. That is discounting the beliefs of the other millions that were marching.
I'm sorry for your girls that you didn't march. I'm sure they would have liked to represent women from their viewpoint. I guess what they think doesn't matter though, given that one person organizing the movement has a different interpretation as to what women's rights are.
I have a worthless 21-year old sister who has never even tried to get a job nor is she in school. She "protested" yesterday. It's all she does, cries about "injustice" while having EVERYTHING handed to her including world trips. For whatever reason she hasn't been kicked out of the house yet, I sure as hell would have been. Believe me, she knows how I feel about her worthless age group.
Of course they can protest, I'm not sure of anyone saying they couldn't. No one is calling all these women fat and ugly, some pointed out some ironic signs. Also, your first sentence says it all. Way to be accepting and open-minded! Hahahaha

Sorry for saying that. I was just appalled by some of the remarks some of you mentioned. To clarify when I said all of you I meant those that were showing pics of protesting women in a negative light.
Also, I'm sorry you see your sister this way. I'm sure she is a wonderful person that has contributed something important. I'm sorry for her that she has a brother that views her as worthless. Maybe she marched because she knows you think that of her?
Educate yourself.

Oh the irony of this post. I wish I could have just not gotten a college education or received seven years of graduate education. I have been studying in college and grad school for a combined 11 years. Many have shared their viewpoints on women's rights to me. I have listened. It would have been much easier on my mind to just ignore it all. It has been a difficult decade, as I am about to defend my thesis. I think maybe I should have not done all of that and gotten a normal job.
But then I am reminded of how the easy things are not very rewarding. I feel good about my decision, despite the long road it has been.
