An observation is not an instruction.

So you don't know the answer.
I know why women I know personally marched. I know what the people who organized the Women's March said about its purpose and their goals. I know what Rhea said about her first-hand experiences there. But no one can impart knowledge to you when you won't listen to what they're telling you, and I'm not going to try spoon feeding it to you, either.
If you truly want to know what the Women's March was all about and why it took place the Saturday after the Inauguration, you can start by re-reading what Rhea has already posted. Then you can follow the links people have provided. Then come back with better questions, because the ones you keep asking have already been answered.
They were timed for just after the election to last 100 days. What is the purpose of these marches. Is that question permitted?
If you already have the answer to your question then just say it. Don't waste people's time by hiding behind a disingenuous suite of questions designed to try and herd the opposing party into your conclusions. Just say it and explain why you came to that conclusion. Your seeming inability to do so just comes off as coy, weak, and cowardly.
What was the answer if it was not a protest against the election results.
Scroll up? Other people already seem to have this covered.
Do you have one example?
Well someone else already posted a link to a website which you apparently
So here it is again for your convenience:
1. What happens next?
Please see our IN GRATITUDE page for some thoughts we'd like to share with you. We will announce more on what will happen next very soon, so please stay tuned. We are not going away.
2. Is The Women's March on London an anti-Trump march? Why should I march against the president of another country?
The Women's March on London is not an anti-Trump march per se. Though Donald Trump's election was arguably the catalyst for a grassroots collective of women to come together and formulate the idea of the Women's March, its objective is to protect and stand up for fundamental values that have recently come under attack namely human rights, equality, dignity, safety and health. We are inviting anyone with an interest in preserving and defending those rights, to take part and show their opposition.
3. Why march on January 21st?
We are marching on this date - a global day of action - in solidarity with people in the United States as well as people all over the world whose human rights are being threatened. The loss of human rights is a global issue that requires a global response. If fundamental human rights are being questioned then we believe we must take action and defend them; that's exactly what we are aiming to do with this march.
4. Why call yourselves Women's March on ...?
The march was given its name by those who started this initiative in Washington DC. In solidarity, we adopted the name as the march is spearheaded BY women, but importantly is FOR everyone.
5. Is the march about women's rights?
The Women's March on London is not specifically about women's rights only. However, women's rights are human rights and for that we will gladly take to the street and march.
6. It seems like you are marching for so many different issues, none of which have anything to do with women's rights at all?
We disagree with the idea that racism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, disability prejudice, poverty, and the environment aren't 'women's issues.' They are intertwined with women's rights because a significant proportion of women are people of colour, trans, lesbian, Muslim, disabled, economically suffering, and living on this earth.
7. Is this march only for women?
No, the march is open to people of any gender.
I do believe this answers all of your questions, yes?
