I am not a "disgrace to women" because I don't support the women's march. I do not feel I am a "second class citizen" because I am a woman. I do not feel my voice is "not heard" because I am a woman. I do not feel I am not provided opportunities in this life or in America because I am a woman. I do not feel that I "don't have control of my body or choices" because I am a woman. I do not feel like I am " not respected or undermined" because I am a woman. I am not a "victim" because you say I am.
I AM a woman.
I can make my own choices.
I can speak and be heard.
I can VOTE.
I can work if I want.
I can stay home if I want.
I control my body.
I can defend myself.
I can defend my family.
There is nothing stopping me to do anything in this world but MYSELF.
I do not blame my circumstances or problems on anything other than my own choices or even that sometimes in life, we don't always get what we want. I take responsibility for myself.
I am a mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister, a friend. I am not held back in life but only by the walls I choose to not go over which is a personal choice.
Quit blaming.
Take responsibility.
If you want to speak, do so. But do not expect for me, a woman, to take you seriously wearing a pink va-jay-jay hat on your head and screaming profanities and bashing men.
If you have beliefs, and speak to me in a kind matter, I will listen. But do not expect for me to change my beliefs to suit yours. Respect goes both ways.
If you want to impress me, especially in regards to women, then speak on the real injustices and tragedies that affect women in foreign countries that do not that the opportunity or means to have their voices heard.
Saudi Arabia, women can't drive, no rights and must always be covered.
China and India, infantcide of baby girls.
Afghanistan, unequal education rights.
Democratic Republic of Congo, where rapes are brutal and women are left to die, or HIV infected and left to care for children alone.
Mali, where women can not escape the torture of genital mutilation.
Pakistan, in tribal areas where women are gang raped to pay for men's crime.
Guatemala, the impoverished female underclass of Guatemala faces domestic violence, rape and the second-highest rate of HIV/AIDS after sub-Saharan Africa. An epidemic of gruesome unsolved murders has left hundreds of women dead, some of their bodies left with hate messages. Or the 7 year old girls being sold or married off to 60 year old men, Or the millions of women sold and bought into sex trafficking.
And that's just a few examples.
So when women get together in AMERICA and whine they don't have equal rights and march in their clean clothes, after eating a hearty breakfast, and it's like a vacation away that they have paid for to get there...
This WOMAN does not support it.

Why do the feminist shirts have cats on them why do we have to get cats involved? All of that energy marching has been wasted on looking whiney as heck. If you have that much time on your hands do something productive like volunteering at an animal shelter that would actually make a difference.

The only thing I see is that women on certain careers do not get paid as much as men. And since my husband works in the oil fields, I do know how hard it is for women to be in certain fields & they have to fight to be there & put up with certain things. I do respect all the women that have come before me to fight for their & my rights. However , in this day in age we as American women do have it very good in my eyes. Thanks. 4951

These marchers make me embarrassed to be a woman. How do you expect to be taken seriously in "vagina hats", screaming about your p***y and not having rights in a country where you are afforded the same, if not more, right than anyone else? Madonna and Ashley Judd have more money in their (female) bank accounts than the GDP of some of those crap countries and they are screaming about being oppressed?! Really? Holy hell lady. And where are all these wome "standing with their sisters" for women who are actually oppressed?? Oh, that's too hard and doesn't include a fun weekend trip to DC. You don't get to wear snarky hats and scream vulgarities while lobbying for the protection of women against the practice of female genital mutalation, forced marriage, educational oppression, etc. no, that's not fun. Instead let's make fools of ourselves while swimming in the vast privilege and freedoms of our "terrible " country. 4951

Amen, sister! Madonna and Ashley can choke on it. They are both has beens. If they want to do good, they can start at the 3rd world countries, and when those are all up to speed with the good old, dare I say GREAT USA, then they can come back and pick up where they left off, but something tells me they could live to be as old as Methusela and they still would make it back to the USA. 4951

@allymansfield:
Exactly! These women are so out of touch.
 
@pickles AMEN to the original post! They are acting like entitled, self-righteous attention *****s, ("Pay for all of my medical care & pay me more money at work b/c I'm female"); an embarrassment to all women who know how to work hard & make decisions for themselves with the rights & luxuries already given to us. Not to mention, the law typically favors women in custody battles & also gives women the right to abort without regard to the father. It's a shame that they claim to care about women's rights, and yet ignore the travesties & real grievances occurring to women who actually ARE oppressed in other countries.
