HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!

What the ladies did was damn impressive, to say the least. There were women out all over the place here in the Chi. Every single bus stop was filled with them on every single street. I love women.
 
I heard on the radio a few busloads of Canadian women went to DC to march. And there was a march here in Toronto as well.

We obviously need to build a wall across the northern border. We can probably hire some really smart wizards and make it out of ice for very low cost. There was even a documentary about it on HBO. It will be the biggest most beautiful ice wall ever built. It will be so good looking that people will get tired of looking at it.

So build a few dozen coal burning power plant to keep it frozen in the summer as well?

Looks like not all of them made it...

U.S. border agents asked what they planned to do in the United States. “We said we were going to the Women’s March on Saturday and they said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to pull over,’” Dyck told the Guardian. Agents then searched their car and examined their cellphones, Dyck said. Each member of the group was fingerprinted and had their pictures taken.

Finally, after two hours, the agents told Dyck and his friends to turn around. “They said, ‘You’re headed home today,’” Dyck said. Officials warned them that that they’d be arrested if they tried to cross at a different spot this weekend. “And that was it. They didn’t give a lot of justification.”

Other travellers reported similar struggles this weekend.

British national Joe Kroese and a Canadian were turned away from the same border crossing on Thursday as they travelled with two American friends.

Kroese, 23, was asked by an American border agent why he was travelling to the United States. He told guards that his friends planned to attend the Women’s March, though they hadn’t worked out all their plans yet. At that point, Kroese and the Canadian were fingerprinted, photographed and denied entry. Agents allegedly told them it was because they wanted to attend a “potentially violent rally,” according to Kroese.

Montreal resident Joseph Decunha said he was also turned away on Thursday. A border agent asked for his political views, Decunha told CBC. “The first thing he asked us point blank is, ‘Are you anti- or pro-Trump?’” he said.

He was then fingerprinted and photographed. “They told me I was being denied entry for administrative reasons. According to the agent, my travelling to the United States for the purpose of protesting didn’t constitute a valid reason to cross,” Decunha said. The guards also asked why he disapproved of Trump, whether he’d ever visited the Middle East, and whether he believed in violence.

“I’ve never been denied entry at any border crossing before. I have no criminal record. I’ve never done anything illegal in Canada or in any other country,” Decunha said. “It felt like, if we had been pro-Trump, we would have absolutely been allowed entry.”

Impressive turnout yet two days later barely any news coverage.

CNN and FOX have nothing on their main page.

NY Times has an opinion piece questioning what comes next.

MSNBC has pieces by Steinem and Maddow and several other articles and videos, the only major network really giving it any airtime right now.

Watching the narrative flip over the last few days has been quite the demonstration of confirmation bias in our media.
 
Now if only they had an agenda, or could list some amazing rights that men have that they apparently do not.

I know, I know, the glass ceiling patriarchy is what keeps them down from working things like picking up trash that is 99% male. They are just lining up to do these things, but they just keep getting shut down amirite?
 
They did have one hell of a turnout.

Now if they only had a real cohesive cause for this huge gathering. They say they are protesting Trump, but why are they protesting all over the world? Trump is only the President of the USA.

I've heard this from a few places. I don't see why it's a problem though. Arguably the biggest problem in democracy worldwide is that people are not engaged. If they're engaged, regardless of if they change everything or nothing at all, democracy benefits. I think it is important and everyone who attended gets kudos from me.
