I don't see how it was dumb. Many women and men seemed to be very clear about what they were protesting...from my stand point it is you that doesn't understand what they were protesting. That doesn't make them dumb or you dumb- just have opposing views.

Either way, agree or disagree with the protest, they protested peacefully so there is absolutely no reason to insult them.

What has changed about women's rights in the few days Trump has been prez? Nothing.

I believe he just appointed a woman head of the air force or navy, had a woman in charge of his campaign...and several others.

Let's wait and see.

The protests were ridiculous, as well as obscene, and only serves to further the sexist ideas that some men have about women. Women already have equal rights in this country. It isn't a "right" to be able to get away with murder, and anyway men don't have that "right", so why should women? It isn't a "right" to turn women in to men. Women and men in general have different strengths and weaknesses, which make them more or less suitable for various jobs (although of course there are exceptions), and no laws can ever change that. And besides, it's pretty stupid to accuse a president of being anti-women, when he had a woman running his campaign!

i don't see how anyone can respect women anymore with the display of vulgarity this weekend. They have taken women to a new low of disrespect. I think men will look at them and say, 'What? They want respect and are outraged if they're called a ___ (fill in the blank) but then they use the worse vulgarity of all."

Dressing up as a vagina, grabbing their private parts, telling those who don't agree with them f-you, wanting to bomb the White House, giving the 3rd finger salute to a camera, setting a girl's hair on fire because she had the opposite view and stood aside someone with a sign protesting (who did not argue with her and even smiled at the girl)while her friend took a picture is not very smart. The girl could have been burned severely had not a man noticed an put out the fire. The girl had long hair and if her coat caught fire besides her hair, she could have been scarred for life. That was a dangerous stunt to do.

Whatever happened to respect someone else's opinion? There is a double standard and it needs to stop!

Everyone has a right to their own opinion. No one has a right to tell a woman what to do with her body or anything of her. Mind your own body and self business.

IMHO, it was more of a demonstration, not a protest, in solidarity & a way for some to come together to express themselves on a variety of issues & concerns, & for some to get together to snap selfies for their social media.

   All men and women are protesting about their rights been violated and their standard of living (quality of life-living/working conditions).

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?

There  were some women out protesting that i would not have wanted achild a boy or girl seeing. It was flat out disgusting. What message is  that sending too our children?  I feel the news media should not have been showing  some pictures of some of those women, if you can call them women. Thank God my mom and grandma taught me to have some respect.  There is no way i could ever expose my self like they did.

I have felt sad because I never had any children... so no grand kids as well! But with what is going on in the world these days, I find myself thinking it was ok . I know how I was taught and i never talked in front of my mother like these kids of today do. I'm 58 and from the old school when washing your mouth out with soap was still ok. And please and thank you were some thing you just said. It's a crazy world and people are so darn mean.  I believe you need to step up and be responsible when it comes to having kids.  I didn't want kids so i made sure I didn't ... I really don't think it would be fair to expect tax payers to end a pregnancy for my being careless.

I know this may have nothing to do with the protesters this weekend per se but our new President had ordered the EPA to cut out the climate change page on the website. It is just data and facts for the public to be aware of, what can be so harmful about that? I need to know so I know when what I can grow now. My area had just been re-defined for a different growing zone due to climate change.

If anything the protests (in my opinion as senseless as they were) has proven once again how we as Americans; both men and women have rights to free speech.  There are other countries where that sort of behavior would result in death.
