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 think the protests are stupid, therefore I will ignore them. Women enjoy the same rights as men, and more privileges arguably. At this point we can get into the whole "abortion rights are women's rights" argument and go on for hours with neither side convincing the other side to change their stance. Once you throw away the abortion argument, there is literally nothing to suggest that women are oppressed and treated inferior to men. If your going to tell me about how the protests are to change sexist behaviors towards women, then that is going to go just as well as those "anti-bullying" campaigns.
