Signs-of-Madness: A look at the #WomensMarch
Valuable lessons abound…just not the ones that the organizers intended.
In the largest pity-party in history, the “Women’s March” attracted millions of participants across the globe, ginned-up on on a heady mix of social justice, self-righteousness, and Trump-fear.
• Hundreds of thousands of women gathered in Washington on Saturday in a kind of counterinauguration after President Trump took office on Friday. A range of speakers and performers cutting across generational lines rallied near the Capitol before marchers made their way toward the White House.
• They were joined by crowds in cities across the country: In Chicago, the size of a rally so quickly outgrew early estimates that the march that was to follow was canceled for safety. In Manhattan, Fifth Avenue became a river of pink hats, while in downtown Los Angeles, even before the gathering crowd stretched itself out to march, it was more than a quarter mile deep on several streets.
Unfortunately, my home town of San Diego was not spared from this banality.
A large crowd estimated by police at between 30,000 and 40,000 people stepped off the San Diego Civic Center complex at City Hall Saturday morning in support of women’s rights.
March participants carried signs reading “We don’t want your tiny hands anywhere near our underpants,” “Love trumps hate,” “Women’s rights are human rights,” and “Putin’s apprentice,” as well as other slogans.
However, I would like review some of the signs featured at these events, for entertainment purposes.
My favorite comes from Syndey, Australia. Our President’s supporters in the Land-Down-Under organized for sky-writing “Trump” over the Aussie event.
About 10 supporters paid to have Mr Trump’s name written in the sky in front of supporters but wanted to remain anonymous after their reply to the anti-Trump rally.
A spokesperson for the company told Mail Australia: “They just wanted to show a bit of support for Trump seeing as he did win an election.
Then, there were the classic protest signs. I anticipate some of these will be featured in campaign ads to re-elect Trump in 2020.
Sign 1: Pussy bites back. Frankly, I don’t see how being upset by Trump’s usage of the term 10 years ago, then using it for yourself, makes sense. But, then I am a reasonable woman.
Sign 2: Radical Islamic Feminist. Women of been beaten and beheaded under the banner of Islam. Not only is this sign inappropriate, but I assert that it reeks of cultural appropriation as well.
3. Make Them Pay. I am shocked to learn that you men have been enjoying tax-payer funded razors all of these years.
Sign 4: Beta Males Unite. But I thought the Women’s March is all about love and tolerance.
Sign 5: Let’s make our sons weak and our daughters strong. I guess a boy simply can’t be a boy, but must be a political tool.
Sign 6: Anatomy Lessons.If the kids in the above picture didn’t know about the birds-and-bees before the march, they sure got an intriguing lesson. I will merely assert the act of exposing children to this inanity was more vulgar than any utterance Trump has ever made.
An array of progressive celebrities joined the events. My colleague Mark Finkelstein reported on Ashley Judd’s Hitler-infused tirade. However, when it comes to tasteless demonstrations, nobody can top Madonna.
Madonna railed against the Trump administration Saturday at the Women’s March on Washington and confessed during her profanity-laced speech that’s she’s been thinking about “blowing up the White House.”
“Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I’m outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House, but I know that this won’t change anything,” Madonna told the crowd to roaring applause.
Donald Trump is not some entertainer or business mogul any longer. He is the President of the United States. Threatening the him is now a serious crime and a felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a $250,000 maximum fine, a $100 special assessment, and 3 years of supervised release.
Many Trump supporters want Madonna to join Hillary.

They may get their wish: The Secret Service is now investigating her statement.
Of course, she should really be jailed for her horrid singing at this event.
Question: How many speakers at Tea Party events threatened to bomb the Obama White House?
Answer: Zero.
In conclusion: There were plenty of fascinating lessons to be had at the Women’s March. I’m just not sure they were the ones the organizers intended.

The really hilarious angle is that they FAILED to motivate people to actually go out and VOTE over the many, many days available to dos so.
Now they brag about coming out in mobs to wail and whine.
They are bragging about not understanding how America works.
So pathetic.
This entire masturbatory enterprise was basically just those who live on the east and west coasts demonstrating how upset they are that the middle of the country didn’t shut up and do what they were told.
It seemed they wanted to double down on the theme of “voting with their vaginas”. The “pussy hats” do nothing to change this.
All of this is just so bizarre. The alternative to Trump was Hillary and are these people claiming that Hillary is so superior ethically? Likewise, I constantly hear of how the women in these marches, the liberals protesting Trump and everything conservative and so many others are condemning the Right and Trump for being violent, disrespectful, and so forth and yet it is almost exclusively those on the Left who are engaged in these actions.
>
I cannot see how any sentient independent cannot look at this hypocritical cacophony of racism, violence, anger, hate, disrespect, outright immaturity, and so forth, coming from the Left and then use that to justify becoming a liberal. If anything it should drive people away from this liberal cause.
I have one simple question: What do they want?
In the spirit of full disclosure, I have demonstrated locally, and I have marched more than once on Washington. But we were 100% clear on why we demonstrated and marched. We wanted the U.S. to get out of the senseless, no-win war in Viet Nam. That was it; roger, wilco.
But this thing yesterday left me in wonder. Women—and in fact all citizens of our country—have whole bunches of rights. What do they want? The abortion issue is settled law, and Trump’s not going to go there. Is it about free tampons?
I get equality in the work place, and as someone who was in that work place for forty years, I learned that there is no such thing as equality in the work place. Why? Because the people in the work place are NOT EQUAL! I was totally blind to color, race, looks, weight, sexual orientation, sex, everything. The only thing that mattered was how well you did the job. PERIOD.
One last observation from this old, retired guy. I go to the gym 3-4 days a week, usually around 9:30 or 10:00 am. In the workout area, I usually see a bunch of grey hairs like me. But in the class areas, I see dozens of young (younger than I) women spinning and dancing and doing whatever it is they do. This is at 10:30 in the morning.
But wait—where are the men? Oh, I know. They are at work! Wow! That’s equality for you.
A female friend of mine said that it was unfair for women to have to pay for birth control while men got Viagra as part of their drug coverage. Last time I checked, there’s an absolutely FREE method of birth control: don’t have sex. But—also the last time I checked—erectile dysfunction is an actual diagnosable medical condition that can be treated with drugs. It’s a false equivalence that the left is promulgating without resistance.
This damn march is nothing but leftist kabuki. Flaunt your lady parts, girls. You’ll simply crate a society that is more classless and tasteless than it already is.
They haven’t a clue.
As to free birth control, it is cheap. The insurance companies are likely to offer it as a bennie, both to attract female clients, and because it saves them money over paying for unwanted pregnancies.
I blame this BS on Obama. Had he not downsized the Navy there would have been enough drunken sailors to service these sexually deprived women. The only way to end this problem is for America to ban together and support our Navy. Yes, we need to buy our sailors booze and give’em some of the Viagra we’ve been hording. They have a hard job to do and they need our support.
“They have a hard job to do…”
I saw what you’re suggesting.
Actually, the largest voting bloc for President Obama was the Black vote. The next largest was single women, particularly single women with children. Non-contracepting women, having regular sexual intercourse with the same man, perhaps their husband and the father of their children, derive emotional and physical benefits from their partner’s ejaculate. Married women are more likely to vote Republican than not Republican.
Successful marriages require putting “us” ahead of “me”. My suspicion is these women are more about their “me”. Women are much more likely to initiate divorce proceedings than men.
Didn’t I see these same women protesting the gay male who complained about too many yoga pants? I mention he was identified as gay, because his complaint then was of esthetics, not sexual objectification.
Speaking of sexual objectification, don’t these female stars realize that if they weren’t viewed as being beautiful, they wouldn’t have gotten to be stars? In that brief period after radio was invented and the moving picture shows hadn’t started, looks didn’t count. If the audience has to see your face, you better be pretty.
You know, I bet some guy did ask the question beforehand – “umm, what does organizing tens of thousands of women with no real agenda really accomplish? Why not wait until Trump does something?” – and was told to sit down and shut up.
I’ve always thought that as soon as women got into the workforce en masse, they should have started voting Republican, since at that point they would have started to understand the damage that Demcorats were doing to the economy, and by extension to women and their families. Maybe with the Trump victory this is finally happening.
#6 pic….the male on the right wearing the vagina outfit, there would be NO WAY I walk around all day with that on, no matter what the other half said.
D-I-V-O-R-C-E
At least the Tea Party Movement waited until 4/15/2009 to stage a grassroots DC March and only after the obama administration began the spending into oblivion.
BTW that first Tea Party March was most likely the largest DC March in US history. Of course it was almost completely ignored by the political elites, the MSM and the obama administration. Obama actually even flew over it as he was leaving DC on an Air Force 1 Helicopter. When asked if he he saw it, he answered no, he was not aware of any March going on. When the Satellite data was released a month later, the number of people marching that day approached 1.8 MILLION people !!!
And as I recall from the coverage (by blogs, not the so-called “mainstream media”) at the time, they left the Mall cleaner than when they arrived.
I saw breathless coverage on the evening news last night of the cities across America with these huge protest marches protesting (actually, I’m not sure what). What caught my eye was these marches seem to correlate with the map of areas that Hillary controlled. I was curious that wasn’t pointed out.
Still waiting to hear what rights Trump has abrogated.
The closest I’ve gotten to an answer is that at some point he said women (among a long list of other special interest groups) don’t have more or better rights than everyone else.
Which I thought was something they should protest as a rather obvious reference to Animal Farm, not confirm by protesting it as a direct wrong, but then I thought that the pigs’ “some animals are more equal than others” thing was an obvious bad….
In today’s leftist arena you cannot simply assume all these women identify as women. You have to research that individually. Blatant sexism on display. For shame, Ms. Eastman, for shame.
It was a bunch of estrogen fueled hysterical (in the strict sense of the word) shrieking that they want their way, and you be damned. But they don’t know what their way is. They didn’t say much, but they said it loud.
A lot like my ex wife.
I can’t be sure, but I think I may have been married to your ex-wife. If she is the same woman, I’m pretty sure she has annoyed at least four other men. Unfortunately, there are not yet enough of her ex’s to form a baseball team, but stay in touch.
Love the sky-writing! “Surrender, Dorothy!” Too bad it wasn’t possible in DC–the plane would have been shot down.
This seems to be a hodgepodge of just about everything anyone wants to whine about. Except The Invasion—I don’t see any Mexican flags.
Though that probably doesn’t mean much. I don’t see any free abortions in those photos, either, even though that’s obviously a major theme.
Trump must be a great President. Who else could get a couple of hundred thousand fat women out to exercise like that?
Richard Simmons.
Apparently, he failed…
Well, some get skinny, some regain the weight, plus there are always new generations of obese women emerging. Women’s gyms are big biz if done right.
The parade of PMS!
This reminded me of the end of “Apocalypse Now” but instead of repeating”The Horror” I kept thinking “The Vulgarity, The Vulgarity…”
If they really wanted to protest Trump’s vulgarity, it seems to me it would have been more effective for them to be less vulgar.
Trump says he is announcing his SCOTUS pick in the next two weeks.
I’ve long been predicting it will be Diane Sykes.
I would love to see her nominated just to watch these heads explode.
Nah. They’ll just claim she’s not authentically female.
Trump got more fat women walking in one day than Michelle did in 8 years
“Sign 2: Radical Islamic Feminist. Women of been beaten and beheaded under the banner of Islam. Not only is this sign inappropriate, but I assert that it reeks of cultural appropriation as well.”
Huge problem here with this picture. Huge Problems. Women wearing the hijab are to not have any hair showing. That woman needs to be caned. Of flogged. When are all these women getting their genitals mutilated, to show real solidarity with their Mohammedan sisters? Otherwise, it is all talk. Put the knife where it counts. Where is her male chaperon? “Good” Mohammedan women don’t go out in public without a male family member to supervise. Flogging at noon tomorrow.
She needs to be careful. She might have a devout brother, father, or uncle who will honor kill her. Or the village she is from will honor kill her father or brother for not defending Mohammedanism. Somebody is going down.
That explains why men’s issues always take a back seat – penis hats. We need to march wear penis hats. Then they will take us seriously. ROFLMAO
No.
If a woman wears a graphic vagina costume, she is making a political statement and that is protected free speech.
If you, a man, were to wear a penis costume, you are a degenerate, obscene pervert, and will be lucky if all that happens to you is landing on the predator list and being banned from parks next to schools. You’ll probably also have to do community service, receive counseling, and lose custody of your children. You’ll also end up on the No Fly list, and probably lose the right to own firearms, a fishing license, or a hunting license. In fact, an argument can be made that you are a insensitive sexist jerk for even suggesting such behavior. (Not by me. I just wish they wouldn’t dress that way.)
All of that is void if the wearer of the penis costume is gay, bi, transgendered, or otherwise gender fluid.
I am familiar with basic anatomy, but geez, those getups look like gigantic weird pink hotdogs in buns, frankly.
“hotdogs in buns”
Uh-huh. We know what you’re trying to say…

Um, no. Her speech is clearly protected by the first amendment, and any Secret Service person who is foolish enough to harass her over it will be exposing himself to a section 1938 suit, which he will lose. This is black letter law, not subject to any possible dispute. In fact her words are almost exactly identical to those of Watts, in Watts v US. If it’s lawful (and it is) to say “If they ever make me carry a rifle the first man I want to get in my sights is” the president, then it cannot possibly be unlawful to say what Madonna did.
