The Women's March is Global

[Flopper]

The popular meme is that the Women's March is simply an anti-Trump march. But it isn't. It's a march for the recognition of issues important to women, that are being buried under the onslaught of anti-PC rhetoric that legitimizes "pussy grabbing" as no big deal and is chipping away at women's reproductive rights and freedoms. Trump is the first modern president who openly demeans women as sexual objects - and supporters find that acceptable.

The marches global - there are marches in all states and in countries around the world where women face far more serious issues, then we do here. It's a worldwide sisterhood.


Women's Marches Go Global: Postcards From Protests Around The World

Sister marches have been organized in all 50 states, and in countries around the world. They have been organized to express solidarity with the aims of the original march: opposition to President Trump's agenda, and support of women's rights and human rights in general.

Given the quirks of time zones, many of those marches kicked off before the event that inspired them. In Paris, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Mexico City, Bangkok, Delhi, Cape Town, and other cities, protesters have already broken out their signs and pink hats in solidarity​

It's a bunch of leftist bullshit. Women have equal rights

No they aren't. Not in the US. The ERA wasn't passed and was allowed to die - the only Amendment which had a strict time limit on its passage.

The ERA? Here's the inside scoop. Women are ... people ...

American women still don't enjoy the same rights and freedoms which women in other first world countries enjoy, like mandated maternity leaves, family leave, health insurance which pays for birth control and abortions, without unnecessary state mandated tests which they're forced to pay for, state mandated vacation time, subsidized day care, and other family friendly programs.

So women not having rights men don't have is not having equal rights. Isn't your head spinning from that one? You want those things, work them out with your insurance company, your employer, your wanting free shit for being female isn't a legitimate power of government

The Republicans talk about "family values" but every time they are asked to choose between the interests of businesses and corporation, and the American family, business wins out. Every.Single.Time.

I'm not a Republican and you know that, you dumb ho. Address the question.

So note you did not name a single right that men have in the US that women don't. Game ... set ... and match

In theory, women have rights equal to men, but not in practice. The sexes are ostensibly equal, but that isn't always how it works. Women are often paid less than men for doing exactly the same jobs. There are also many jobs that are traditionally thought of as being "for men" and some that are "for women" that have barriers to entry for the other gender. Unless there are laws that guarantee equal rights, there isn't much one can do about it because the same glass ceiling often exist industry wide.

Here are just a few examples:

• Women Truck Drivers make 30% less than Men.
• Women Housekeeping & Janitorial Managers make 34% less than men
• Women Financial Managers make 34% less than men
• Women in Retail Sales make 49% less than men

These are just a few examples. There are many more.

And at that point it's not the job of government to use force to compel people to change at the point of a gun. Women can and are changing it in the market place.

Also, you're ignoring a bunch of legitimate reasons for those differences that need to be factored out for an apples to apples comparison. I'd say you have to know that, but who knows, liberals are so completely clueless

Yes, it is government's job to compel changes if it's in regard to fair and equal treatment of it's citizens.

There can be reasons why men or a women might be better suited for a particular job. For example a women would certainly be bettered suited for modeling women's undergarments and a man would better be suited for a job as a male stripper. However these are the exceptions not the rule. There is no reason why women truck drivers and janitorial supervisors should be paid 1/3 less than men just because they are women.

The goal of Race, Sex, Religion, or physical disability discrimination laws are really quite simple and logical. Treat people as individuals judging each on their own merits. That means not assuming:

• That a women will be worth less as a truck driver because women have menstrual cycles that could result in time off
• That a black person will be lazy and unreliable
• That an evangelical Christian is going to push his religion on other workers.
• That a person in a wheelchair will be a less able office worker.

Hilary Clinton in the debates said there should be no restriction to abortion up until the date of birth. Cmon flop, I don't know who you are listening to. Pro abortionists are absolutists. That is a central tenet of feminism, noe restriction on abortion at any time. Any restriction on abortion would be a restriction on a women's right to make her own health decision. American feminism is all about "me" not about humanity.

As far as trump goes, his first day at work pretty much discounts all your insults of him. I'll make this prediction for you, as time goes on the trump haters will become a smaller and smaller minority. You heard it here first.

No, Hillary does not support unlimited abortions until the data of birth. Here are the quotes from which people have constructed those interpretations.

In a debate, Clinton has said she could support restrictions on abortions in the third trimester (about week 28 of a pregnancy) if the mother’s life and health are taken into account.

"I think that the life and health of the mother, obviously, rape and incest, have to be always taken into account,"

"And, you know, when he raises the very, very difficult issue of late-term abortion, he conveniently overlooks the fact that there are medical reasons, there are health-related reasons."

There are many instances of Clinton saying abortion should be "safe, legal and rare." In short, Clinton is open to restrictions on late-term abortions provided there are exceptions for the life and health of the mother.

Her position is far from your statement that she supports no restriction to abortion up until the date of birth.

Marco Rubio says Hillary Clinton supports abortions 'even on the due date'

Here is the video of the exchange. Once again flop you seem to be rewriting history. Hilary Clinton states plainly that the government should not be able to int freer in a woman's choice for abortion at any time. She can't agree to no abortions in the third trimester, she would lose the support of all feminists. This was even commented on by pundits after the debate. You are spinning.

Even Democrats Were Cringing When Hillary Gave Her 'Late Term Abortion' Answers

They are marching to have the right to murder children, abortion as a means of contraception is murder, we're talking about an actual human being, not just a collection of cells.

Would it be considered a RIGHT to go out on the streets at will and start shooting children and toddlers and that be LEGAL and okay? No if someone did that they'd be arrested and charged with First Degree murder.

So why do these DISGUSTING excuses for women DEMAND the RIGHT to murder human babies as they slumber in the womb.

ALL abortion should be illegal with the exception for rape, incest and where the life of the mother is in danger and any woman having an abortion as a means of contraception should be arrested and charged with First Degree murder and given the Death Penalty.

The below is what they DEMAND to have a RIGHT to have murdered:

It must be wonderful to correctly judge millions of people you don't know and have never seen before based on stereotypes.

So why they don't take up those grievances with their employers? List all the rights women are denied here in the U.S.

You see the government as the solution for everything, don't you? Your list is based on your assumptions. It is your perception about running a business. If you do, I hope you will lose it with an attitude like you projected above.

God you're stupid and uninformed:

1) The gap is far wider among older workers because men got more education and college degrees and women took more time off

2) That gap is disappearing as younger women now are actually more highly educated than men and take less time out of the work force than they used to

It's great for women to stay home with kids for a few years, but you can't stick employers with paying for it. It's a family choice. Also, more men stay home now also narrowing the gap. Do you follow anything going on around you in the world at all? You really need this basic of information explained to you? You're pathetic

On paper, yes we do. Read the posts here. We are not respected unless we fall in line and act like our men want us to act.

The women have no message. They are very forgettable except for comic relief.

If they are so very forgettable, why are Republican congresscritters shitting their pants.

Which "Republican congresscritters" are shitting their pants?

No, it is not based on assumptions but rather the 2015 US Census Bureau report, Income and Poverty. Women are paid less than men. In the US, women working full time year-around make only 80% of what men make. There's a wide variation by state. States with laws that require equal pay for women, it's as high as 89%. In other states it's as low as 64%.

Equal pay and opportunities for women workers would pull millions of families out of poverty since most families living in poverty are headed by women.

Because you believe the average women could not do a job is that any reason to pay less to women that can? Women can perform over 99% of all jobs. That does not imply that every woman can do every job just as every man can not.

For over 20 years, I had the responsibility of hiring in the company I worked. I must have interviewed a thousand or more people for jobs, both men and women, old and young, the disabled, black and white.

I can remember the advice our personnel manger gave me before the first interview I did, years before we had all anti-discrimination laws. He said, your job is to determine who can best do the job. Consider the person as an individual. Their sex, their race, their religion, their nationality are immaterial. We are not hiring a man or women, a black or white, a Jew or Christian. We hiring a person to do a job. If more employers would do this, we wouldn't need anti-discrimination laws in the workplace.

Because you believe the average women could not do a job is that any reason to pay less to women that can? Women can perform over 99% of all jobs. That does not imply that every one woman can do everyone of them just every man can not.

For over 20 years, I had the responsibility of hiring in the company I worked. I must have interviewed a thousand or more people for jobs, both men and women, old and young, the disabled, black and white.

We hiring a person to do a job. If more employers would do this, we wouldn't need anti-discrimination laws in the workplace.

That's what virtually all of them do do. And the ones who don't hire the best candidates are punished by the market place. I'm in favor of companies discriminating against workers and customers. Better workers and more customers for me. Unfortunately, too few actually do and they don't last.

You're just spewing more of your stupid socialist rhetoric. Explain how in this immoral, bigoted country you live in where everyone but you discriminates we miraculously have an honest, integrity government that opposes and fights discrimination when they ... wait for it ... are made up of the same citizenry.

Your views, are simpleton, naive to the max. You don't grasp the world around you. You live in a fairy tale land in your mind where when you remove accountability from humans they do a better job, and nothing could be further from the truth.

The marketplace is the enforcer of hiring the best and paying fair wages. Government does nothing of the sort, little guy

Yes, it is government's job to compel changes if it's in regard to fair and equal treatment of it's citizens.

There can be reasons why men or a women might be better suited for a particular job. For example a women would certainly be bettered suited for modeling women's undergarments and a man would better be suited for a job as a male stripper. However these are the exceptions not the rule. There is no reason why women truck drivers and janitorial supervisors should be paid 1/3 less than men just because they are women.

The goal of Race, Sex, Religion, or physical disability discrimination laws are really quite simple and logical. Treat people as individuals judging each on their own merits. That means not assuming:

Why are you deflecting? What does your chart have to do with equal rights before the law? Again, list all the rights what women are denied here in the U.S.

I worked for employment agencies and one of the reasons that companies hire employment agencies is to shield them from discrimination suits. We pre-screened their applicants so that no one who was "wrong" for the job was interviewed.

One large international mining company owned by a short, eastern European man would only accept smart, blond, white women under 5' 7" in height, and under the age of 30.

I hasten to add that we didn't turn away the "unsuitables" because there were lots of businesses who just wanted competence. But far too many wanted young, pretty, and dumb. The HR guy at the bank where I worked hired pretty girls. Dumb, but very pretty.

That's what virtually all of them do do. And the ones who don't hire the best candidates are punished by the market place. I'm in favor of companies discriminating against workers and customers. Better workers and more customers for me. Unfortunately, too few actually do and they don't last.

You're just spewing more of your stupid socialist rhetoric. Explain how in this immoral, bigoted country you live in where everyone but you discriminates we miraculously have an honest, integrity government that opposes and fights discrimination when they ... wait for it ... are made up of the same citizenry.

Your views, are simpleton, naive to the max. You don't grasp the world around you. You live in a fairy tale land in your mind where when you remove accountability from humans they do a better job, and nothing could be further from the truth.

The marketplace is the enforcer of hiring the best and paying fair wages. Government does nothing of the sort, little guy

No, why would I lie. What benefit is there to me?

Lots of people send their children to Christian Schools so they won't have black kids in their classes. There is a LOT of racist shit that goes on under the cover of something else.

Employment agencies have long been the way of keeping blacks out of Wall Street and the powerful firms there. The company can prove that no qualified blacks applied for the job, because they didn't see any of them. We made sure of that.

Qualified black applicants were given other opportunities by the employment agencies. We're not stupid. We want people who show up on time, with skills, who do the work and don't cause trouble. It didn't matter to us whether they're black, brown, white or purple.

I only worked at the agency to get a feel for the job market, and then went into law. I did maintain contacts within the business, especially when I was between jobs, or looking to change firms, and little has changed.

Racist clients are limiting the pool from which they select staff. It also means that there are some very good jobs which they will never be allowed to compete for. Approximately 1/3 of our permanent jobs had special "restrictions". I would never be considered for a job at the mining company because I was 5' 11". Even if I dyed my hair blond, and otherwise met the criteria.

No blacks, no ESL's, nobody over 30. Whatever restrictions you want, will be catered to. Yes, it's expensive. 15% of the first year's salary but think of the peace of mind, never having to face a racial discrimination suit, an age discrimination suit, never getting stuck with some non-white employee, or some fat ugly person who just happened to be the best qualified, because you can custom order your employees, and you won't even see them.

Jobs "for men" usually are impossible for the average woman to do as well as men do it, if at all.

Bullshit. Not all women can do all jobs, but then neither can all men. I know a woman who works as a bouncer at a punk rock bar. Not a job I could do, but the bar owner says she's the best bouncer he's ever had, and those who have underestimated her paid a very high price for their stupidity.

6 foot tall people can't be jockey's, and 5' 0" people can't be firemen or women. I was too tall to be a stewardess, but I could model. But being a jockey, or a midget wrestler was out of the question.
