Why is it that as a woman I cannot go and protest for MY OWN REASONS?

One of the main reasons I am going tomorrow is to protest the shut down of funding for Planned Parenthood in Texas. My protest sign is all about it.

Women are constantly marginalized and told we must do this and we must do THAT. You know what? Fuck that! I am protesting for many reasons and I will not bow out because some dumb ass forgot to mention Hillary. I'm in Texas. Women are in a very precarious situation here. I don't have the LUXURY of worrying about Hillary being mentioned or not.

she's a woman eShirl Jan 2017 #5

This march is about equality and rights for women frazzled Jan 2017 #6

I'm not suggesting it is about one person. Stinky The Clown Jan 2017 #16

Her name certainly should have been on the list of those who "paved the way" frazzled Jan 2017 #28

Actually it is supposed to be inclusive, so it is about rights, not just women's rights HoneyBadger Jan 2017 #58

Gawd knows we can't have polarizing figures on the list... apcalc Jan 2017 #30

I am sincerely confused about one thing though, if the founders of the march have Eliot Rosewater Jan 2017 #53

I would assume they voted Stein or other 3rd party, yes. nt SylviaD Jan 2017 #63

AFAIK it is only one organizer w this attitude. Don't quote me though. emulatorloo Jan 2017 #65
