nothing like saying a group that, by definition, excludes roughly half of the population is "inclusive". I guess it's inclusive if you've got the right chromosomes or aren't particularly good at biology

That's the point 1Hammer they are not excluding anyone. That was TallMike's question. The real problem is it bugs you if you can't pigeonhole or divide us. I am male and would join the woman's march in a heartbeat if I could. Remember all the whites who marched with MLK.

The women are marching not just for themselves but for all of us. They are not excluding you. You are excluding yourself.

Women's march is not excluding anyone? They excluded pro-life women from the march:

But I'm not interested in stupid protests. I celebrated the inauguration at the gun range this morning.

Peaceful protest is one of the benefits of our free society but unfortunately they are so often hijacked by aggressive extremists who believe they have the right to be violent.

absolutely Phil James O'Keefe tried to scam organizers into saying they would accept money to disrupt the Inauguration. Shameful little pissant.

Not interested in stupid protests? I guess you weren't supportive of the gun toters screaming about how they wanted their country back 8 years ago Doc. Our new POTUS once again wakes up on 3rd base believing he hit a triple. He is inheriting the best economy of an incoming president in 20 years. Let's see how long it takes him to tank it.

But I guess America isn't great yet. God we are a country of gullible fools. Drain the swamp. Name cronies to cabinet posts. Propose trillion dollar infrastructure bill. Refuse for last 8 years to pass one. I have a great temperament. vile tweets at 3:00 AM. Whatever. USA USA USA

Lets see how much of this proposed trillion dollar infrastructure plan is made up of tax cuts.

Yes, the economy is great if you consider being in debt 20 trillion dollars great.

I hear you tuco. We have to resist this racist, etc., unethical, anti-human rights, incompetent, anti-democratic, ultimately illegitimate regime every step of the way.

tuco, I questioned two aspects of the Women's March on Washington, neither of which was whether the march was deliberately excluding anyone. If you read my first post again you will see that it was asking why does the rally bear that name considering that it is intended to highlight the concerns of many other groups besides women. My second post was an expanded version of the first, suggesting that long time supporters of the march may have become so attached to its original name that they have failed to recognize the need to communicate that the march has evolved and now welcomes people with many other concerns besides "traditional" women's issues.
tuco, the problem is not that I and others can't pigeonhole you, it's that we don't know who is being invited to join the march. That's very simple and, I think very important.
