I won't go too much into it.
For many this is an opportunity for a human rights march but the reality it isorganised to besomething else.
I won't bore anyone with references but this is part of an orchestrated campaign which is riding piggy back ona legitimate march concept.
Firstsome of the artists who pulled out ofthe inaugurationdid so because they received threatening calls whereby they would never work again, It's in google butno one bothered to watch.
Thenno less than Angela Davis appears on the women's march website as an honorary Chair for the March. She's made quite a few of her traditional drum thumping speeches. Her Marxist group split from the main Communist party in 1991. I worked in a communist country 10 years and while pleasant it's ideology is incompatible with US values on Free speech.
Then the March organisers hosted convicted kidnapper and killer Donna Hylton jailed for first degree kidnapping and 2 counts of second degree murder in 1986 and served 27 years. Things like that don't rest well for too long with the public.
On BBC which never says anything about Trump there was a documentary about Republican students being harassed at US Universities by those who claim (and some may be) Democrats.
The March is all aboutwhat Trump said in 2005. No on cares what Bill did in the Oval office asthe publicweren't interested.
The 2005 "Trump even" is being orchestrated by the pink pussycat hats. These hats are in fact a metaphorical nose ring.
In the UK elections, the Tories won a majority of 12 seats with just 36.1 % of the Vote because there is no proportional representation. The UK also has problems but it has had 200 or so years to make changes. The Democrats have at times controlled both houses yet the Electoral College still stands,
There is a problem in Europe from a handful of migrants who entered and some attacks were carried out in Paris, Belgium, Germany and earlier the UK. There are few but nonetheless some were very destructive as mentioned in the Indian Times
I took out the parts that had no bearing on the march for most of the 4+ million people who participated.
You're welcome.
Now you know.
The censorship pen struck.
You removed Angela Davies but she is relevant as she is an honorary chair of the Women’s March and is central to this.

Here is Angela on a pilgrimage to East Germany shaking hands with the East German Leader Eric Honecker.

In the 1970s, Angela Davis travelled in—seemingly—the opposite direction. Her critics have harped on the point ever since. They condemn Davis’s chummy delight for East block dictatorships. ‘What does Angela Davis know about freedom?’, runs the title of Alan Johnson’s Telegraph piece, published the day of Davis’s celebrated October 2013 speech at Birkbeck College in London.
And
Johnson also lashes out at the ‘academics and students at Birkbeck’ who would ‘cheer her to the rafters’, but would ‘ask no awkward “anti-communist” (sin of sins, still) questions’. In defence of that audience, it is worth noting that Davis renounced her membership of the US Communist Party many years ago. Since few of that audience’s leftists would, by 2013, entertain much doubt about Soviet abuses, it might have seemed pointless to rehash old Cold War polemics.
Welcome to the Marxist world.
NB Angela Davis left the Communist Party but in fact formed here own (Marxist) group

The inauguration as I quoted from Media statistics that the viewer ratings were not low by any means. I posted these earlier. TV viewership in the tens of millions.
Linda Sasour’s comments in attacking an Atheist female feminist who is an ex Muslim are worse than Trump’s.
Therefore it is pure hypocrisy when Linda Sasour made worse comments about two other women. And these are okay but Trumps from 2005 are constantly trotted out as if he has just said them. You can find the comments and an interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali

The Agenda of the Women’s March does not draw out a clear objective to cover specific areas.
Here is what it says.
https://www.womensmarch.com/global/
Women's March Global
Women’s March Global invites individuals and organizations committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion and those who understand women’s rights as human rights to join our local coalitions of marchers in representing the rights and voices of progressive people around the world.
As concerned citizens standing up for human rights, Women’s March Global immediately seeks to increase the number of coalitions participating in the upcoming global marches, while continuing to organise future campaigns.
Women’s March Global is building and empowering a persistent global network that will organise future campaigns and actions in support of progressive values including women’s rights.
Women’s March Global is a proactive international movement, not a U.S. election-specific protest per se, which has galvanized people to defend women's rights and those of others in response to the rising rhetoric of far-right populism around the world.
Donna Hylton was speaking at the March so it is relevant.

Not every women’s group is permitted.

Pro-life protesters banned from Women's March on Washington
Controversy has erupted over who was and who wasn't allowed to participate in one of the biggest marches in U.S. history.
An anti-abortion student group is saying it was barred from the Women's March because of its views. Students for Life of America posted pictures as they showed up at the march anyway.
They unfurled a giant banner that read "abortion betrays women." They also went on Facebook live to show the reaction by marchers.
If this is supporting freedom then those we disagree with are also entitled to express their views.
Here is a question for the Muslim marchers since the Women's March by its own statement is global.
Why is there no Muslim movement marching with it campaigning against the treatment of women in many Islamic countries such as forced dress codes, Yazidi women and girls being kidnapped, Acid attacks in Pakistan and forced wearing of the veil and hijab as well as forced marriages and the list goes on?
There are Muslim men and women who campaign in these countries. Muslim's in the US face discrimination in the USA for wearing a hijab. However women also have the right NOT to wear the Hijab.
While the demonstrators proudly display their Hijabs as a symbol of Islam this is false because this is not mandated in the Quran.
When enforced the Hijab can be defined as a dress code for women as defined by men.
Here is the problem: the Muslim women in the march remained silent on women's rights in Muslim countries. Let me know if you find anything contrary to this as I hope you do.
