Yeah, it wasn't marketed that way, but it's what it is. I unfollowed a few friends over it because their behavior was atrocious. And the level of 'angry' verged on mob level. That wasn't my understanding of it at all, either.
I know that Trump made some statements about abortion that were quite graphic and difficult to tolerate for some and I think that that was the reported purpose of the march - a reminder that there are a lot of women who disagree with some of his perspectives. Which is fine. The hatred that that march entailed was repulsive. I think that the point would have been made had they just sat down and chatted with each other. Kind of a Woodstock-ish thing.
If it had been a gathering designed to hold women up I would have taken part (without the stupid hat) but it was an angry aggressive event designed to attack Trump. Whether he was my candidate or not, I don't feel the need.
it seems some of them were. My sister participated in a match in her town. The people she was with held signs asking President Trump to "be nice", signs about tolerance and unity, and anti-bully messages. Those, I can get behind. The ones that were blatantly just bashing the president and the woman not even half dressed just for shock value, I can't support. In my opinion, those people hurt the cause and mask the real issues some (not all) woman face.
When someone is continually give a pass for bad, or even criminal, behaviors, their sense of security broadens. They truly believe they're untouchable by the law and above all consequences.
If the march had been about womens right's I could have gotten behind it. All womens rights - pro choice or pro life, republican or Democrat. I think in some areas all women were welcomed but in others not.
