"Yes. Look around! He Sent The Women"

[sheshe2]

My 9 year old daughter Samantha asked me why we are all marching.

I told her that the world is in bad shape right now and we have to fight back.

She asked if God is sending help.

I said “Yes. Look around! He sent the women.” - Will Bailey

1. "He sent the women."

Women will be a force to be reckoned with.

[sheshe2]

7. That we will, Irish.

That we will.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes I have never felt more sure about anything in my life.

The 21st Century is the century of the female.

Hi sheshe

[sheshe2]

21. There is no stopping us.

No more. We are RISING.

[Irish_Dem]

33. Yes that is exactly how it feels. A force which cannot be stopped. nt

[MLAA]

19. We are more than equal to the challenge

23. Love your faces.

Diversity is the answer.

[Irish_Dem]

34. I think WOC and LGBT are also going to be quite strong in this century. nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. "he" ??????

ahem.

[Irish_Dem]

11. SHE sent the women.

You are correct.

[sheshe2]

24. Lol!

You are correct.

She~

[Irish_Dem]

35. Old habits die hard, I am going to have to get up to speed for this century.

And I'll be damned if I am going to go backwards.

[sheshe2]

36. Forward. nt

[tblue37]

2. Great line! K&R. nt

[brer cat]

3. Always cleaning up the messes!

I love that story, sheshe!

[sheshe2]

5. Yep.

Loved it too brer.

One of the signs I liked at the march...We Marched and then We Ran. It is not just going to be a Blue Wave coming it is going to be predominately female.

[lastlib]

22. A Blue Tsunami With a Pink Cap.......

[Irish_Dem]

37. Exactly, women are sick and tired of picking up the pieces.

Murdered family members, sick children with no healthcare, low pay for women,
cannot afford to send their children to college. Etc Etc.

Moping up after the patriarchy is getting real old.

[lkinwi]

4. Wow! The march certainly upset a right wing Facebook friend.

She posted some weird video from a site I’ve never heard of called World Cloud. Said nobody knows what they’re there for, just collecting pay and the money has to run out sooner or later. Whoa 😮 She’s losing it!

[sheshe2]

6. Lol...

Well we know why we were there, sad she does not. It is about money paid??? WTF?

Both last year and this....awesome events that I was proud to join.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

25. Everything in RepugWorld is upside down.

On Twitter, I saw one girl's summary of what it cost her to make her protest trip to DC and it was in the range of $600 with travel and lodging. She did get paid though....in loads of inspiration and outright awesomeness.

[Irish_Dem]

40. Yes in the 1960/70s, some women were really upset about the idea of women's rights.

They felt women should stay at home and raise children.
Not work, and certainly not get into professional schools, or make more money than men.
They agreed with a lot of the men who said women were not smart or emotionally stable enough to work in "male" professionals and could only be secretaries, teachers and nurses.

When I was young, those were the only career choices for most women.
Women could not get into med or law school or other graduate programs.
It began to change around 1974.

43. Oh yeah Soros paid everyone to go to the match. Don't forget that

Your buddy be gone now

42. Women should comprise half of all state and federal elected positions.

They have to start running for office, yes!

14. Feel the Burn, Donny!

[sheshe2]

16. Yup!

27. I wanted him to look like he was in Hell

A place Trump makes me want to believe in, just for the comfort of knowing that's where he'll be before too long.

30. Thanks spooky.

We rocked once again. We are so beautiful in so many ways....and I sure as hell am not talking about the face or body. It is the depth of our soul and what is in the heart that matters.

[classof56]

48. sheshe, thanks so much for posting this.

Following surgery, I've been on a long road to recovery for quite some time, and while I haven't weighed in on many DU posts, I want to say this site has helped keep me sane on my darkest days. Yours words have particularly resonated with me.

Recently, a long-time friend, a college professor, told me she is heartsick about what's happening in our country. Pretty much summed it up for me. Thanks again, sheshe, for reminding me to stay strong.

Cheers and blessings.

Class

[sheshe2]

51. Ah, Class.

So good to see you again. Sorry you have been going through such a long recovery, made more difficult in these painful times.

Thank you. I too drew strength from that simple message. It rang so true, especially watching the women's marches and rallies part 2 this weekend. The first one was just the beginning and we are getting stronger. I will be forever grateful to the men and children that have supported us as well. I was there for the first march and again for a rally this year. The women and men that spoke gave me hope. We are not done yet, not by a long shot.

"He sent the women."

Peace my dear.

[raven mad]

49. Beauty!

Crying or could post more. BEAUTY!

[sheshe2]

52. Yay...

Kinda hit me that way as well, raven.

[disalitervisum]

53. There's an old saying, something along the lines of...

Only a man could create a shithole like this (concerning any situation) and be proud of it.

[hurl]

54. Maybe he should have said...

“Yes. Look around! She sent the women.”

[Gothmog]

56. Yeah

We Persist to Resist.

It is a very wise Daddy.
