Re: Nice to see the BBC reporting on marches again
do these marches really matter though, yes its great to have a Jolly out in London, i expect a fair few of them popped along to Oxford street after it to do some girlie shopping and then a glass of prosecco in covent gardens
London organisers announced on stage that between 80,000 and 100,000 women and men had taken part in the rally, but police have not given an independent estimate. so we can take 20 K of that total
3.000 in sydney
these protests will not do anything, Trump is in power

a: you made up the bit about shopping 'girlies' and prosecco in your own mind. Hey, you could work for 'Trump'.
b: yes Trump is already President. That's why these people are showing their dissatisfaction with the fact. Obviously.
If people/we don't protest about anything these barstards can, and will, do whatever they want. Unnoticed, unanswered and unopposed.
Public disquiet can and does - and has - influenced Governments before.

Re: Nice to see the BBC reporting on marches again
Why are these people not protesting about North Korea or the Gambia? Where is their outrage about how the Muslim world treats women?
It's pathetic.

Re: Nice to see the BBC reporting on marches again
WalesOnline's coverage of yesterday's wimmin's march against Trump that took place in Cardiff left a lot to be desired. However, the comments are almost universally scathing in their appraisal of the attendees, especially champagne socialist Charlotte Church.

Well you don't know me so that is not a suprise. I care deeply about women's rights and it is a disgrace that women cannot even drive in Saudi Arabia.
It's a pity more people don't like myself and would rather just target Trump.

point a, was humour, a women's march where they went and did some girlie shopping and had a prosecco, thus i went for a stereotypical joke
point b, so you think by people protesting in the UK and Australia ( even in the US ) it will bring down trump ? ? ? sure protest and march on things you can change, Trump being in power isnt one of them, thus i asked " do these marches really matter though "

Are they not capable of being angry about both? It seems a lot of people have tried to discredit these marches by saying exactly what you have. had no idea so many right wingers cared so deeply about women's rights in the middle east until today.

I can't remember there being any marches against the way the Islamic world and parts of christian Africa treat treat their women? Not to the same extent we have seen over the past few days where a bunch of spotty faced, filthy, vegan virgins have infested worldwide cities in protest against a president that in all cases outside of America will have no control over them. Where was this lefty rage against Obama who dropped three bombs an hour on the middle east just last year?
If forced marriages, sex slavery, FGM, womens view not counting the same as mens, gender segregation, women not being allowed to drive or vote is worse than a man who said he grabbed women by the pussy in a juvenile private chat then the world isn't right anymore

:hehe: Mrs Steve R to you, what would be satisfactory evidence for you if there are no reports? none I'm thinking, all I can suggest is that you go through youtube with a fine tooth comb, find all the old live streams to different protests and then google to see if they have been reported on, I really don't care enough if you believe me or not to do that tbh, it might take you some time but have fun. :biggrin:

You're making a massive assumption. Nice work on belittling those protesters though.

ha Tommy in hypocrisy shocker. It was you who came sweeping into this discussion assuming that I and many others do not care about women's rights.
In reality it's the left who do not care unless the perpatrator is a rich white man of course.

Are women allowed to choose what they are concerned about or do you need to tell them first?

What I'm insinuating is that you nor right wingers (didn't mention men) don't air these deep and passionate views, until you want to belittle another groups argument. Wonder why that is?

What the lady said, but I can tell what they did cover. I definitely saw coverage of the Remainers protesting in London, and about 6 people demonstrating outside the Russian Embassy with a pile of mannequins.

There was a big march outside the Glasgow BBC office in 2014 prior to the Scottish referendum. That wasn't reported in the BBC.

It's really amazing. You've both bean moaning about the lack of coverage for other marches yet you are both unable to provide an example to back up your claim. One of you tells me to "do my own research innit", and the other tells me yet more examples of marches that *have* been covered.
MRS Steve R, maybe you are one of the older fashioned ladies. Nothing wrong with that, but calling yourself Mrs Husband's Name is something that would have some feminists up in arms. Nothing wrong with that either, but the fact you are calling yourself Mrs Husband's name may mean that you are not tuned into the argument of the women who were marching.
In answer to your question, you won't lose ANY rights due to Trump being elected. As far as I can make out, he has been made President of the USA, and doesn't have any ability to change laws in the UK.
What do the women who were marching think they have lost? They have lost some equality. In the 70s and 80s it was more or less accepted that a boss smacking his female employee's arse, forcing her to wear certain clothing, paying her less than her male counterparts, giving her an unwanted shoulder massage etc etc.
Trump has, unwittingly, given the pervy boss a bit more "courage" to push the boundaries again. No, there won't be any changes in laws that take away American women's rights. The damage is more discreet than that.
Those women may think that Trump will set the women's movement back 20-30 years. They may be incorrect, but considering the battles that feminism has had to fight and win they have earned the right to defend themselves.

I didn't think it was a bad question, especially as nobody here has lost any rights because of Trump have they?

If I had started the thread I might have gone to the effort of preparing a couple of examples but knowing it would not make the slightest bit of difference to what any of you think why should I bother wasting my time?
Calling myself my husbands name on a forum will have the feminists up in arms? GOOD :hehe: I corrected you on my name because Steve R is a different poster. (he's not my husband either)
No I'm not really tuned in with the argument of the women who were marching tbh, what was the point? like you said nobody has lost any rights, it was more about outrage, if I'm honest I've read things on here about women that are worse than what Trump said or did, should I walk the streets dressed as a massive vagina every time that happens? :hehe:
