Women should be taken seriously.

We joke about women fairly often, but the anonymity of the internet is destroying any sense of empathy us unaffected have left. Trust me, I enjoy a good joke or two on a subject. I think calling Donald Trumps 10 year old son the world's first home school shooter is hilarious. Comedy has no bounds and that should be practiced. Same as jokes about the women's march. [b]However, the internet is discounting their voice, invalidating what they believe as if what they're protesting doesn't exist.[/b] More than a million women around the world marched the other day. That is a pretty high turn out for a protest. These people obviously feel something, they obviously are worried about their rights or respects being diminished. There is no discounting that. I think it's our duty as a nation to hear the voice of such a large group of people. Listen to their fears and their pain, and hear how we can make it better. Compromise is a minor practice is politics, but it is possible. It takes a large amount of people to force a compromise, but we should really get behind these people that feel oppressed. Because it may be you one day. TL;DR: Over a million women feel their rights/respect is violated by the new guy in office and we should take them seriously because there are so many of them.

  • [quote] they obviously are worried about their rights or respects being diminished. but we should really get behind these people that feel oppressed. [/quote] -"That feel oppressed." They're not oppressed in the western world. They claim that without evidence of it. They feel that because they lost. I'll start listening when women are ACTUALLY oppressed in America. Go to the Middle East, that's where women are oppressed the most. Just because your feelings are hurt doesn't mean you're oppressed. I'd like to see a womanfrom America talk to a woman from the Middle East about being oppressed. In America, we don't stone women to death in honor killings. In the Middle East, if a woman is ra[b]ped[/b], she is stoned to death. In Saudi Arabia, women can't drive. That is real oppression. Women have their backs rights taken away, yet the women in western society are acting like children, because they didn't get the result they liked, and are saying they're oppressed just so no one can argue against them. Until these so called,"feminists" start protesting for the rights of women in the Middle East, I will not be taking them seriously when they claim they're oppressed.
