Maybe more respect for woman is actually getting STARTED by Trump. Of course he doesn't realize it, but he is could be the beginning of a new movement. If the media can't figure whether to put the Q on LBGT, imagine how they will handle P*y Power.

One of my favorite signs in the bunch.

Just thinking about the amount of pushback feminists have received on this issue, even here at DU, makes my blood boil.

Yes, rape culture is real.

As Trump has proven over and over, just because something CAN be said, doesn't mean it SHOULD be said.

Now, as much as I like to see organized opposition to the Trump Campaign. And as much as I appreciate the activism and sentiments of these women, whatever happened to our "When they go low, we go high" policy?

Rude and obscene slogans (posters, t-shirts) is something I expect to see at Trump Rallies. Let's leave the profanity and the vulgarity to Trump and his deplorables; it's one of the things, I like to think, that separates US from THEM. It's called civility. I mean, surely we can make our points without stooping to their level.

Just my humble opinion.

Check them out. Yes its not classy, but it gets the point accross fast and effectively.

I, a white, hetero, man love seeing women pissed off and standing up. I am happy to be an ally and am willing to offer any assistance if they want it.

Tue Oct 18, 2016, 03:15 PM

Compare: "fuck that bitch" "kill that nigger"

To: "Keep your hands off my cuntry" "This pussy votes"

Nowhere even the same. It isn't the vulgarity, it is the message behind the vulgarity. Anyone that tells you differently is selling something that I don't want.

....are most assuredly allowed to express their opinions and outrage as graphically as they please.

So you don't like how graphically these women are expressing their outrage at Rape Culture? Well then, work with men to end it, not to silence the victims.

Thank you.

and they got your attention by using this language

A liberal Dem state rep got censured for mentioning her anatomy in a debate over ultrasounds or something like that.

And Trump's blonde surrogates have tried to use fake outrage over the words to shut down discussion of his video on talk shows.

It's a brave new world. These words are not profanity and vulgarity. They are a person's anatomy.

This is the town that ran him out of town in the Primary.

This is the town where he tried to sneak into and we found out and greeted him in the most profane manner possible.

This is the town who just tore down his honorary street sign.

This is the town where the most popular thing to do is take a selfie while giving Trump Tower the finger.

Chicago is having none of Trump. He's not welcome here and we're happy to tell him to take his basket and go home.
