    I wouldn't be surprised if he actually helped women in the work force get better money as a result of his economic policies. That being said, the economy has to stabilize and start improving before this can happen and it's going to take more than 60 days in office to fix this. Let's give him time and see.....
    These are not the silly women who took a "personal day" from work to whoop it up in the streets with vagina hats. These are commie-era radicals that are trying to convince American women that their lives are similar to women in Latin America and Poland.

    These women are extremists.

    I sincerely doubt that most of the women who attend this march will understand the significance of it being held on March 8, nor the significance of being asked to wear the color RED.

We've got a couple of long-in-the-tooth 70s radicals trying to whip up a revolution based on fantasy. In the past 30 years (in real life) women have made great strides in both the work place and in society. These women are a slap in the face to everything true women stand for. These women want to enact communist-style labor laws that reduce women (and humans in general) to the shuffling masses once seen in the former USSR. They're using a very old ruse -- trying to convince women that they're victims so they can use their warm bodies to spread their message. A message that opposes a Free Market society. To me -- these women are trash. Dangerous, perhaps, but mostly just trash. They are old radicals that were never successful and now they want to try again by riding the bandwagon that's risen against Trump. Their manifesto is far-flung -- they're attempting to equate violence in Latin America to US life, and abortion bans in Poland to reproductive rights in the US. And one of them is a murderer of innocents. They want free healthcare -- guaranteed jobs -- and they are anti-male to a large degree. To me -- and this is just my personal opinion -- these women represent weakness. They represent failure. They represent the worst of what it is to be female. They don't have a clue what it takes to be successful as a female. Thanks but I'll pass...

    1) That article was one mans OPINION and he supplied no links to substantiate his claims other than another OPINION article from the Guardian.

    2) Here is the link to main page of International Women’s Strike (U.S) on International Women's Day, March 8th, 2017. Could you please point out where Rasmea Yousef Odeh's name is mentioned as an organizer?

    3) He's that so-called feminist manifesto which the other sources failed to link to? Could you point out where Rasmea Yousef Odeh's name is mentioned, I can't seem to find it?

    4) While you are at it, please point out in this dreaded manifesto where these woman are into communism. socialism, revolutions, want free healthcare -- guaranteed jobs -- and they are anti-male to a large degree. That's another thing I missed when reading it.

    5) Let's not forget, these women involved in this are "trash". I'm not even going to comment on that.

    A "militant research collective" aptly named Viewpoint Magazine provides notice of the upcoming event. It is penned by our terrorist above and others:

    Beyond Lean-In: For a Feminism of the 99% and a Militant International Strike on March 8

    Angela Davis, Barbara Ransby, Cinzia Arruzza, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Linda Martín Alcoff, Nancy Fraser, Rasmea Yousef Odeh and Tithi Bhattacharya February 3, 2017 |
    The massive women’s marches of January 21st may mark the beginning of a new wave of militant feminist struggle. But what exactly will be its focus? In our view, it is not enough to oppose Trump and his aggressively misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic and racist policies; we also need to target the ongoing neoliberal attack on social provision and labor rights. While Trump’s blatant misogyny was the immediate trigger for the massive response on January 21st, the attack on women (and all working people) long predates his administration. Women’s conditions of life, especially those of women of color and of working, unemployed and migrant women, have steadily deteriorated over the last 30 years, thanks to financialization and corporate globalization. Lean-in feminism and other variants of corporate feminism have failed the overwhelming majority of us, who do not have access to individual self-promotion and advancement and whose conditions of life can be improved only through policies that defend social reproduction, secure reproductive justice, and guarantee labor rights. As we see it, the new wave of women’s mobilization must address all these concerns in a frontal way. It must be a feminism for the 99%.

    The kind of feminism we seek is already emerging internationally, in struggles across the globe: from the women’s strike in Poland against the abortion ban to the women’s strikes and marches in Latin America against male violence; from the massive women’s demonstration of the last November in Italy to the protests and the women’s strike in defense of reproductive rights in South Korea and Ireland. What is striking about these mobilizations is that several of them combined struggles against male violence with opposition to the casualization of labor and wage inequality, while also opposing homophobia, transphobia and xenophobic immigration policies. Together, they herald a new international feminist movement with an expanded agenda–at once anti-racist, anti-imperialist, anti-heterosexist, and anti-neoliberal.
    Dated losers....

    The Day Without a Woman general strike is being organized by the same people who organized the Women's March, Peter. Get a life. I'm on the ground. I know.

    The point of this action is similar to that of the Women's March, but in a more directed way. The real significance is that it is being organized in the form of a strike, which is meant to signify a shift of focus within the women's movement toward the concerns of poor and working class women in place of the office politics of what we call "Lean-In" feminism that drove the Hillary Clinton campaign. This shift is the defining quality of the post-election revitalization of the women's movement, which currently leads the Resistance (the opposition to Trump). I think it's interesting that you rightists who objected to Clinton on the grounds that her campaign and politics were elitist in nature also object to this post-election proletarianization of the women's movement (which has already produced enormous results). One wonders if there is anything the movement could possibly do that you wouldn't object to.

    Has the movement grown less conciliatory and more politically-focused post-election? Yes. That is a product of its proletarianization. It's a good thing! The Democrats need to pay serious attention to this too! They lost the youth and working class white people in the last election cycle and I'm telling you right now that by signing onto the Trump agenda in one capacity or another, the Democrats are increasingly at risk of losing the loyalty of the women's rights movement as well and they definitely can't afford to. The women's movement is more fiercely opposed to Trump than any other in this country and the Resistance we lead will NOT support politicians who fail to obstruct his reactionary program. Those who go along to get along: prepare to be primaried! The movement has already created a PAC for precisely that purpose.
