About how to treat a woman in general. Everyone has her/his own right. Just need respect to have a peaceful world.

In any large group there will always be a few people that are just there because they can and have no idea or care about the point of the protest.  However, with that being said, I can see from several comments thus far that women need to keep demonstrating  for their rights and respect and those of other groups also.  If Trump has done anything, he has definitely polarized this country and brought out the worst in some people.  If women are so equal, why don't they receive the same pay for the same work; have the right to their own bodies the same as men; have the ability to receive healthcare at Planned Parenthood or anywhere else, etc? Yes, there is female voting block empowerment and I suggest that all women carefully look at behaviors, comments, and actions that are being taken in this nation and in each state and organize.  Respect and equality is the right of all people!  It certainly has not been shown in some comments on this thread.

When women get the same pay as men (it now is .70 to every dollar a male earns), when rich or poor can get the same quality of health care, just give us all what the Senate gets.  The march was for all our rights not just women's.  I keep hearing people who have no idea what the marches  (all over the world) were about putting them down.  No one had to march if they did not want to, our new President complained because he thought it took some of the attention off of him.  He is complaining because he did not win the popular vote, get over it, he is already the President.  A lot of what the people (there were lots of men marching too) were marching about was to let him know we are watching him.  He already reversed the North Dakota pipeline, we knew that was coming since Trump Industries is such a large shareholder in it.  Isn't that a conflict of interest???  Or has he been away from the business so long (5 days) that he forgot?

THANK YOU! So many people are missing the point and probably didn't even watch the march. I couldn't get through some of these comments in this thread because they were so offensive. I watched quite a bit of the march on Saturday and there were MEN speakers, MEN in the crowd, and the issues that were addressed were not just about women, but the water crisis in Flint, the environment (there was a speaker there from the Natural Resources Defense Council), equality among races, etc. It hasn't even been a week that Trump has been in office and he's already trying to pull the plug on the arts and is trying to get that nightmarish pipeline going again. He pulled all the sections on the official White House website that had to do with the environment, civil rights, and the LGBT community. Wake up, people! This man is dangerous. All he cares about is lining his own pocket and making everyone bow down to him. Besides that, don't try to tell me just because he had a woman running his campaign that he gives a second thought to women, other than wanting to sexually harass them, that is. He himself said he can't claim he has respect for women. I will never consider him my president.

Black Sheep NY - you clearly don't know what you're talking about.  They were not dressed up as vaginas - if you're referring to the cute hats.  Look at them for heaven's sake.  They have kitty cat ears.  They are symbolic. They are unifying.  They are recognizable.   Now, hopefully, you and all the others who misinterpreted them will "get" it.

gsdoss - Back in the sixties?  It is clearly acknowledged that all the anti-war demonstrations and marches went a long way to bring an end to the Vietnam war.  We have Freedom of Speech in this country (at least as of today we still do) and there's no shame in exercising that freedom.

It's just plain hard to take anyone who dresses up as a vagina seriously.  Next to that, these "women" are pigs and, in my opinion, are telling the world that all they want to do is f**k anything that moves and if they get pregnant, oh well!  How can anyone have respect for people like this when they don't even know what the word means and have zero respect for themselves?

Umm... I don't know where you're getting that we want to ____ anything that moves. I mean, you literally have a president who in an interview said that around women he "can't help [himself]" and he just "start(s) kissing them." I think he more than anyone would like to ____ anything that moves. It's not about women being able to be careless and reckless sexually and be able to terminate pregnancies when it's convenient for them. It's about when birth control fails, or they are RAPED by MEN, they would like to have that option available to them.
