Kudos to you for choosing to attend. I did not, but my brother and his family did and I'm glad to hear it went well.

Those events are good but they do need to take action when they do vote that is when politicians will take them seriously.

I agree, the vote and our dollar(boycotts) are our most valuable resources for change.

They had Protest in Dallas that I seen...

To me Protest in a peaceful manner I have no issues with them if they are bringing awareness to issues...

But unless those same ones actually go to the polls to Vote their words fall on death ears.....

For those that was there to Protest for a cause kuddos to them...

Myself you will not see me there if I have issues I take mine to the Polls and Vote where it counts....

thanks

I started reading it but many of the rights they are looking for..it seems are already in place?

From the protest agenda:
CIVIL RIGHTS
We believe Civil Rights are our birthright, including voting rights, freedom to worship without fear of intimidation or harassment, freedom of speech, and protections for all citizens regardless of race, gender, age or disability. We believe it is time for an all-inclusive Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 

voting rights, freedom of worship, freedom of speech ect ... are these not already in place? 

Anyway, as one poster put it in another thread.. if you want change then basically do something about it and talk with your vote.

or married alimony to be paid for the 'work' done at home: laundry, chauffeur, dishes, cleaning, vacuuming, windows, counselor etc.. etc.. etc...

or maybe they can just start with the women who work OUTSIDE of home next to men working OUTSIDE the home.

I wonder what would have happened ...in world war 2 ...


when the women took the places of their mate and worked in his job ...
becouse he went to war ... but lets say the women refuse to work ... that would be interesting to know about ... with women's rights today ...still being held back ...



American women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers during World War II, as widespread male enlistment left gaping holes in the industrial labor force. Between 1940 and 1945, the female percentage of the U.S. workforce increased from 27 percent to nearly 37 percent, and by 1945 nearly one out of every four married women worked outside the home. “Rosie the Riveter,” star of a government campaign aimed at recruiting female workers for the munitions industry, became perhaps the most iconic image of working women during the war.






many blessing to her and her friends and family ... and may she rest in peace ...
The woman believed to be the "real" Rosie the Riveter died Saturday at age 96, according to her daughter-in-law Marnie Blankenship.
Naomi Parker Fraley, who Blankenship says died in hospice care, was not recognized as the inspiration for the famous World War II era poster until 2015.

this is when women's rights should have started and then kept...

this action changed women forever in history ...

I'm pretty sure that if the women refused to work during ww2, we'd all be speaking German or Japanese right now... They carried the country's economy for a few years, and built all the war machines to help win...

WW2 Most certainly did change America forever and the American women were a major part of the victory. I read somewhere where they cranked out one battleship every 4 days.. a unbelievable feat when you think of it. They not only built the war machine but were a force on the battleground as well as nurses. And lets not forget they also kept the family together in their spare time.

I think, America as a whole looked at women in a totally different light after that, And I think their heroics during the war ( at home and abroad) were a catalyst for the future movement.. a solid building block.

Clearly there was no difference in the workforce intelligence back then as men would have done no better job. and that has not changed,

so the pay for men and women in the same fields at the same level.. should be the same. They already proved there is no difference.
