A few ultra leftists did speak, you're right. I didn't like their message, as I'm sure a lot of the crowd didn't. They just want to get the message across that all people are human beings and all human beings, no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation, etc, should be treated equally.
You know,... Basic Constitutional rights.
I'm calling you out, old friend: A few ultra leftists spoke? A few??? Here's the list of speakers:

Gloria Steinem
Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards
Michael Moore
Madonna
A group of largely women senators and other politicians took the stage together at one point, including Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, Claire McCaskill, D-MO, and newly elected Senators Kamala Harris, D-CA, and Tammy Duckworth, D-IL, who addressed the group as did Rep. Maxine Waters, D-CA. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-FL, and Sen. Cory Booker, D-NJ, were also on stage

And you're "sure a lot of the crowd didn't" like their message? I heard no boos; if there were any, they were drowned out by cheers and applause. Even when Madonna said this:

"Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know this won’t change anything. We cannot fall into despair."

And "They just want to get the message across that all people are human beings"? Lots of websites are calling the rally what is is: A Trump protest. Here are some of the signs at the March:

I realize your wife and your daughter are at the March and that you might be biased in your opinion. However, please don't whitewash this event as something it isn't.

If Jeff's comment was false, or intended to shame you, then yes, he also crossed a line. I didn't immediately see it as an attack, more like he might have been trying to give you an example of his position, as in, "they are out there fighting for the rights of your kid."

I'll admit that I don't know if you guys have history, though.

I don't know Jeff. And he doesn't know my family nor I his.

A simple "I'm sorry" would be appropriate at this point since you called me out.

Since I don't know you, either, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you took Jeff's post to be a direct attack on you, even though I didn't interpret it as such.

So OK, I'm sorry I singled you out.

I appreciate that more than you'll know. I quit frequenting this forum because I felt it was rather clickish and I didn't fit in. I probably still don't, but I appreciate being treated fairly at a minimum.

Alright you fukkers...all of you, I'm on the side of these wimmens. I say it is equal rights for everyone. That means if I can walk around like that, why can't the wimmens walk around without their shirts. Free the nipple.


PS. These arguments often don't get anywhere. Each side is entrenched and won't change their minds due to the known/unknown distinguished gentlemen of differing opinions on the intarwebs.

Spence is absolutely right. The proof is in the speakers, what they said, and the protestors themselves. Read their signs. Believe what they are all saying out loud.....it's purely an anti-Trump rally. How many Republican speakers did they have? How many pro-life Catholics spoke? It's a women's march. How many spoke up in favor of Hobby Lobby and their fight to not be forced to pay for birth control and abortion? Don't women patronize Hobby Lobby?

Besides all the ad hominem attacks on Trump and men in general, what exactly are they protesting? The women I work with are paid by the job position, just like I am. In fact, race and gender doesn't even enter the equation. There is no "attitude" towards women, just as there is none towards men. Everyone is held accountable to the same standards and if anyone gets out of line, male or female, black or white, they get to answer for it.
I'm sure there are places that still have problems, but in today's litigious society it's playing Russian roulette with your business.

And we all know that the MSM shows only what they want us to see.
Many of the speakers were civil, well spoken and stayed on topic.

You've got to get down in the trenches, put in the time. Post up and respond to the volumes of inane crap that shows up here. You think all we do is pontificate on political issues of the day here?

Heck no. We talk about guns, babes, and squirrel videos, in addition to the occasional free microwave and scat threads....you know, important shit.
