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.

  • I'm all for jokes, but when someone is being serious and discussing the protests, you don't drop kitchen jokes to nullify what they're trying to discuss. Like go ahead and share that "Trump got more fat women marching..." meme, but if you're in a debate or discussing the protests, jokes are not appropriate. A wise man once said, "there's a time and place for everything, but not now." Taught me to not ride a bike indoors. Also, Barron being autistic or a school shooter really isn't a funny joke. I don't understand how liberals find that one hilarious. It's dumb. Especially since liberals are for gun control and mental health awareness. It quite literally contradicts what they're for.
