The Women's March confused me.

None of the signs shown made sense, the celibrity speeches (Ashley Judd and Madonna in particular) were dreadful.

These women don't reflect the thoughts of all women in the US. 50% of women in the US are pro-life, and are more certainly distributed across the political board - most are DNC than GOP, I suspect.

It was just really confusing.

Yes, the radbid marching feminists are no more than a far-left, extremist fringe group. Thankfully most women are actually sensible and support Trump.

It's not exactly rocket science, to be fair. What about it didn't you get?

Want to show some examples of signs and we can help you figure out what they mean?

I'd first like you to explain to me Ashley Judd's "Nasty women" speech.

I'd also like you to explain this sign:



I'm assuming "they" are men... but we pay for our razors lol


It just seems to me that the march wasn't really about women's rights that may be under threat from Trump's administration, it was just a very large number of women with "pussy hats" walking around shouting "pussy".

In many US drugstores items for women are often charged at a higher price that those for men, with no justification as to why. A typical example of this is men's razors being sold for cheaper than the equivalent razors for men.

Whilst tampons are bizarrely not classed as essentials and so are taxed as if they are luxury items.

Not rocket science.

No mention of tax on the sign.

We pay for razors.

Maybe tampons are more expensive to make?

Also, why haven't you bothered to explain the speech to me?

Just did a quick search on the Tesco website to see if this was true. Prices vary depending on brand, and it's hard to find a direct equivalent. That said:

The cheapest razors were gender neutral
The second cheapest razor was female specific
The most expensive was male specific

So I'm afraid what you've said just isn't' true.

I imagine you are aware toilet paper is also taxed as a luxury item?

This is the kind of idiotic, anecdotal reasoning that results in people defending the health implications of smoking by pointing out that their grandma smoked 40 a day and lived until she was 96.

I am, and I agree that the point is a complex one. Taxing an item that is necessary and yet only needed by one gender is potentially penalising women, which is the point of the sign, yet what it really does is penalise the poor.

Toilet paper is used by both genders, though women typically use more, and so could be seen as cancelling out, whilst still essentially penalising the poor.
