Do the women get to talk around here? Pelosi said

9. Ugh, that's TERRIBLE for you. Both responses are bad.

I got into a bit of a tiff with someone here at DU when I was pointing out how powerful (to me) the Women's March was because it was so non-violent and positive. We walked by some antifa types trying to create a ruckus and the whole wall of women just moved past them and ignored them; it was a beautiful thing.

The impassioned DUer here got all up in arms about how everyone should be angry and violent about what's going on and implied it was just a bunch of clueless women out there living in a bubble and ignoring facts or whatever, and my instant take was, you're saying this to someone who lives in a city where women are assaulted every day? I can't go for a run by myself when it's dark, I'm terrified to stand at bus stops at night (that's where my assault occurred) and I have to pretty much alter my whole lifestyle around a fear of men, and now I have to listen to some dudebro lecture me about how I should stick up for antifa?

Uhhh, did I just stray off the subject???? LOL.
