Women's March

[accadacca]

So what the heck is this all about and how did it start?

"We stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families - recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country."

There are more women in leadership positions then ever before. There is nothing wrong with that if you believe this is the best thing for you.

“The most important job any woman can have is being a mother.” -Ivanka Trump

Completely agreed. If you can do both successfully, then by all means, do it.

Wrong.

Girls can't pass the sacrament.

Check, and mate.

Actaully... there is no doctrine that prohibits girls from passing the sacrament. There is verbiage about preparing and blessing the sacrament, but none for passing it. In fact the deacons simply carry it the the of end of each row, then everyone passes it to the person next to them. Our daughters have been passing the sacrament to you, your wife, your other kids, amd everyone else for years.

Lord of the Rings and X-Men actor Ian McKellen has been outspoken about his politics and activism, and it’s no surprise that he took part in today’s Women’s March in London. What’s even better is the sign that he carted along.

I looked at some of the tweets. Well, at least a few do have some good points.

For those of you scratching your heads wondering what the reasons are behind the women's march, I have a theory:

It is highly likely that most of the plans including air fare purchases were made several months ago....when the collective sentiment was that Hillary was going to be inaugurated the first president. So this would have been a bunch of women celebrating the first woman POTUS.

Fast forward to today, Hillary lost the presidency, but instead of ditching their plans and eating the cost of the plane tickets, they decided to organize a "women's march" to protest Trump's presidency instead.

Willing to bet there's least a grain or two of truth to this theory, amirite?

Doubt it since they were held all over the country.

I'd guess they are protesting to remind the new administration that the majority of Americans didn't want him and are still here to oppose him. Plus a lot of women seem to think that the government should mind their own business and stay out women's reproductive choices.

I think that some of them might fit into this category. Sounds reasonable.

[twotimer]

I sure thank the cosmic lottery that I was born male.

Oh you little troll. It's a priesthood ordinance, silly. The major implication being that you have to have the priesthood to perform it...and not just to the end of the aisle, or to the person seated beside them, LOL.

Ok, this whole women's pussy parade thing has gone too far. As soon as they paraded signs out in public making references to their tits and pussies they're not doing anything but stoop to Trump's level....and how exactly is that empowering women?

When they go low, you go high....and right now the high ground is NOT a "pussy parade."

They complain about how crass and vulgar he is, and then turn right around and do the very thing they're complaining about.

[DiscGo]

It is amazing how much President Trump has been able to accomplish so quickly! He is already having more success with Michelle Obama's National Fitness Initiative than she did. One day in office and he already has thousands of people getting up and going out for walks on this beautiful Saturday morning.

[twotimer]

I've looked at a few slide shows of this thing today...there's a lot of cats on these signs. I think they look at Trump, his wife and daughter and see a very patriarchal family, and they don't like it at all. I would guess that most of these women had their fathers feel them up at one time or another or at least had some dude that wouldn't take "NO" for an answer. If a little light was shining above the heads of every gal there that this applies to, I think you'd be seeing lights everywhere you look. They seem to have a real hard time getting over stuff like that.

Predatory sexual behavior by males has been going on forever...good luck putting an end to it. Which reminds me...I have a cartoon on my fridge that I cut from a Playboy many years ago...

In the background, there's a caveman with a club over his shoulder and he's dragging a female by her hair. In the foreground, there's another caveman boinking a woman with a smile on her face. He says "Guess what, Zog, you don't have to bop them first"!

CNN and MSNBC in particular, are completely out of their minds with this. They're moving towards no even referring to Trump as the President. Just a bit ago, a CNN reporter, doing her segment in front of the White House, said "The people who occupy this house won't even acknowledge that the march happened today". But it doesn't matter what they say and how long they keep this up...they're sloppy and stupid just like that idiot they backed for President. They're making a lot of noise, but when the rubber hits the road, hardly enough care. I think they know that, and that makes them even madder.

All these gals and their "organizers" don't have what it takes to start any kind of meaningful "revolution"...to what end, by the way? Even if they were to get rid of Trump, they'd end up with Pence. Certainly that wouldn't be satisfactory. Freakout on parade, man.

I was born in '63, so I was too young to remember the hippie/anti-war/ERA protests, but it looks like they're trying to force a rebirth? I personally don't see any real meat to chew on with this one. I'm hopeful things will settle down.

[Scott P]

Then don't ask me to pay for it.

While I agree with this in principle, and I have never used federally funded birth control (and have never been on any kind of welfare), wouldn't it actually save taxpayer money, rather than cost taxpayer money? I am a father myself (and a good one!) and am pretty sure that birth control is cheaper than kids. If people can't afford birth control, I'm pretty sure that they can't afford kids either. Giving them access to birth control will probably save a whole lot of money. There are already too many kids born to people who can't afford them.

[twotimer]

There are already too many kids born to people who can't afford them.Yeah...subsidizing meat for brains. You may be right, Scott...we may have no choice because it appears to be so common.

[twotimer]

It's an art festival, man!

That's just nasty. I don't know if I should laugh or be horrified. :shock2:

I think the issue isn't just about being vulgar, it is because of the comments describing sexual assault. If it were just a few crass words or F-Bombs, no one would care. I know some just pass it off as no big deal, but I can see why women would be upset. Personally, I wouldn't want anyone talking to my wife or daughter like that.

I think a lot of people would be more forgiving if Trump shows that he is a changed man, but he hasn't really shown this or shown any remorse.

So their idea of fighting against sexual harassment is to draw a picture of a vagina with an eyeball staring at you and parade that up and down the street? Are you being serious right now?

I understand they're angry, but I don't think they're doing anything to champion their cause by parading all over hell with pictures of pussies. If anything it makes them look incredibly foolish.

If I took one look at those posters and didn't know better I would've thought they were protesting against pornography....or for more pornography, who knows?

[Sombeech]

I think a lot of people would be more forgiving if Trump shows that he is a changed man, but he hasn't really shown this or shown any remorse.

Since those are things he said when he wasn't a politician, I'm curious what people would accept as a sign that he has changed.

For most, if you used to say certain things, and now you don't, that's the most basic definition of change.

In all honesty, for those referencing disgusting language, and the types of things I want to shield my children from, scroll up in this thread.

[twotimer]

Personally, I want to apologize to anyone that comes to this thread and is offended by the pictures I posted. I mean that sincerely with cinnamon, sugar and little love sprinkles on top.

It is interesting to me that the "kitty cat" signs were common in different cities...and that so many of these people carried a lack of consideration for the children that were dragged to these things.

Trumps comments don't bother me one bit. It was recorded without his knowledge and it's indeed "locker room" talk. Heck, if some of the women I work for were aware of what goes through my head or the sexually crass things I've actually said, they wouldn't want me in their house.

He did apologize for this, BTW...and I bet his wife and daughter read him the riot act.

[uintafly]

Then don't ask me to pay for it.

The problem is we are part of a society and we pay for a lot of stuff we don't like. I was against the Iraq war but I paid for it. I'm against people having a million kids but I pay for their schools.

Give me a good old fashioned gal that loves to be dominated any day of the week.

I think the big problem with most of these women (the ones who aren't dykes) is that they marry and date these lightweights that run around with a bun on their head. I'm not a prude or anything like that...back when I looked like Jesus I had it in a ponytail frequently, but hair on top of the head is for gals, not guys. Most of these chicks just need to get laid proper and everything would be fine.

As long as they aren't looting, vandalizing, or littering, I have no problem with the women marching. Why do people have problems with it?

PS, where were all the complaints when the Bundy crowd was holding a "protest" or whatever you want to call it? That was a lot worse than women participating in a march. Some of those here who were actually cheering that on, while complaining about the women's marches.

How about the two illegal ATV protest where they actually were vandalizing the hell out of everything, including archaeological sites? That was many times worse than the women's marches.

Also, what about the biker rallies at the capitol? No poking fun or outrage?

Where I live the coal miners had a protest in Denver against the EPA regulations. I don't recall anyone complaining.

If the women want to protest peacefully, then more power to them. There were about two million of them and not a single arrest.

PS, when is the last time a woman posted in this forum? It seems that most of them have left. I guess I can see why.

[Sandstone Addiction]

I never took the comments on this thread to be against anyone exercising their right to protest.

This.

And the fact that their protest methods are rated NC-17. The latest report I saw they were parading around topless....is that the kind of protest you support?

And the fact that their protest methods are rated NC-17.

The women's crude protest costumes (which were only a few-if you look at the photos of the protest, most were fully clothed and in normal clothes) weren't complaining about crudeness in general, but about comments about forced unwanted sexual contact. They were also marching for women's rights. That's completely different than just crudeness.

To me, perhaps the biggest hypocrisy is that some of the same people who are complaining about the women protests seem to be delighted when someone on their side wants to protest, even if the protest was not peaceful (such as the Bundy protests).

How about the Obama protests where people were holding up all kinds of racists posters? Where was the complaining on Bogley then?

50 bucks says that several people posting in this thread would support that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, as said, I have no problem with the women's marches, as long as they are peaceful. Except for those who littered of course.

I do have a problem with some of the males protesting against Trump; the ones who are burning, vandalizing, and causing violence. They are idiots and should be arrested.

This kind of %@#$ makes me glad that I decided to be an Independent (I was a Republican until 2003).

[rockgremlin]

You're right about those Obama protests being awful. But that's another reason why I too am an independent (used to be republican). Just too much outright hypocrisy on both sides for me to adhere to.

[hank moon]

The chief reason folks "can't stand the hypocrisy" of someone else's behavior is that nothing galls like reality and a fundamental reality of the human condition is that we are all obviously hypocritical, every day of the week. Heck, calling someone out for hypocrisy is in itself hypocritical. Some guy named Matthew wrote about that back in the day:

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
