I can see their point when it comes to basic respect and equal rights for all humans.
It's common courtesy and something that the Constitution of the United States was based on.
You guys out there who mock them should be ashamed of yourselves.
Serious as a heart attack.

That's a good point and well said...however, the March has serious undertones of protesting Trump. Gloria Steinham praised "our great leaders" Barack and Michelle Obama, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton "who told the whole world that women's rights are human rights and human rights are women's rights," quoting Clinton's speech at a United Nations conference in 1995.
Shortly before Steinem took the podium, actress America Ferrera was one of the first speakers at the rally ahead of the march, calling for supporters to "fight, oppose" the Trump administration.
Filmaker Michael Moore railed against President Trump, telling marchers to take action against his administration. He tore up President Trump's Inauguration Brochure on stage. Homemade signs at the rally were related to Hillary Clinton, Trump's campaign rival. One read "Still With Her" using a play on Clinton's campaign slogan, and another read "Lock Him Up," playing on a chant that some Trump supporters directed at Clinton during the campaign. Several "Stronger Together" posters from the Clinton campaign were spotted as well.
Sounds more like a Trump protest than a march for women's rights.
