Women's March



The Women’s March has now reached as far as Antarctica. (Really.)
There are now sister marches in 60 countries on seven continents.

Women's March will send message to Trump: Wendy Sherman
A day after Donald Trump is inaugurated, thousands of women will descend on Washington for a march — a time-honored tribute to our constitutional rights to freedom of speech and assembly. I have been surprised, however, by the number of women who have asked, “What for?”

And Sady Doyle's two cents:

Don't Call the Women's March Messy. It's a Movement

From Tumblr: The view from my apartment this morning: “We outnumber him! Resist”

As a longtime Antarctica buff, that is AWESOME.

My brother-in-law is in Antarctica. Although I don't know if any of the women at his station will march.

The women's march wasn't perfectly organised so it's 'messy'. Yeahhhh.

Think there could have been more than double the amount expected there today in Edinburgh, including an eighty year old who experienced the blitz; shook his hand.

Also the girl who organised it was seventeen; yesterday.

If men had been organising, it'd just have been '[insert own choice] differences'.

Ah well, a man organised Friday's inauguration. Compare & contrast. >:)

It was the best inauguration, it was terrific, everyone agrees.

And all those people who point out the empty spaces are just sad.

There were no empty spaces. You're just deluded.
