Women Are Not Equal

[xoxoxoBruce]

Marginalized by some, but it also communicates to others that their experiences and feelings, which have been suppressed by people saying, "that's normal", "that's life", and "that the way the world works", are valid.
It lets them know that millions of others feel the same way, they are not alone.

Rattling their sabers, preaching to the choir. They didn't convince one single person who didn't vote in the last Presidential election to go out and vote in consonance with their cause. Couldn't have been very important.

(bet you had to think about that one)

But the preaching to the choir was just the performance. The message to the rest is conveyed by the media, and social media, on both sides of the issue.
What about the 40% who didn't vote, would they if this issue was a referendum on the ballot? Is this "the" issue which would spur them in action?

You cant predict the effect the march will have. So you don't know how it will effect the next election to come - midterms.

You forget, as a long time, nonelected, government employee, his hopes for a better government, society, and world, have been beaten into stoicism by reality. Also he loves to play devils advocate.


I must admit I'm pretty pessimistic myself, but it won't stop me from cheering them on.

The indicators are that it will have a negligible effect.

[sexobon]

NOT!

The current quiz is in this thread: https://cellar.org/showthread.php?p=980833#post980833

You can answer the questions any way you want, it's primarily for fun. I just took it 'cause I recently changed my user title which makes me a born again Cellar dwellar.

You can take the quiz; but, you don't have to take it. It's up to you.

Wasn't intended to, but thanks.
