re: #190 Anymouse 🌹

They do seem to be suffering from “mission creep.” As I originally understood the first women’s march, it was simply about not allowing the new conservative cruelty to roll over gains women have made in establishing their rightful equal place in society and control over their own lives.

Now all of a sudden it appears they are adding stuff that piles on and obscures that original simple message of “We will not be silenced and our rights will be respected.”

The defense of Louis Farrakhan seems bizarre to me. He’s long been an anti-Semite (his denials in the last couple days notwithstanding). Any support for the Women’s March I had is rapidly evaporating. (That is not to say I am now opposed to the original goals, I most certainly support them. People like Mr. Farrakhan are not the people to convey that message.)

I support the Women’s March 100 percent, I just don’t think it has a whole lot to do with these so called “leaders”. A lot of women I know who attend the TX marches don’t even know who these women are.

We are closer to the ground here. As I am sure they are in other states as well.
