Social Media, Women's March, and Mass Movements

[Seattle Husker]

Here is an aerial view of the estimated 200k Womxn's march in Seattle.

They were expecting 75k.

Not a single pink hat among them. Fake? @MrsMissyMom has been deleted.

Not saying the image is fake but rather that it was taken at a Womxn's march on 1/21.

Depends what you mean by fake.

That was covered in the second sentence.

So you are saying the people are fake?
Or their belief systems are fake?

That that picture was in any way associated with Womxn's march on 1/21. Nice try counselor.

For the record, you did not answer the question(s)

They didn't deserve an answer as they had nothing to do with the thread or the Womxn's march which is why I posted the "red herring" image.

So, you are incapable of answering?

 

[Seattle Husker]

So, you are incapable of answering?

Only when you are trying to deflect from the real topic, which is too common. So, let's compare crowd sizes which you were fond of during the election cycle but now are suddenly not important.

Why do Ashley and the girls think mens razors are free?
And/or non-taxable?
Is this an inside joke that is flying over my head?

 

[Joe Fan]

Today's version of nastiest liberal is .....

 

[Joe Fan]

 

[Joe Fan]

Seems like they should have to pick either Sharia Law OR womens' rights.
You cannot really have both

The whole thing is so weird -- American feminists will support someone who believes in shariah law but take legal action against a guy for whistling at them

Liberals are xenophobic-racist-bigots

When I heard about that limo belonging to a Muslim immigrant I laughed out loud. Not at the plight of the poor bastard, but at the utter stupidity of the protesters.

The opposite side of that limo had the anarchist symbol painted on it. I'll never get the arnarchist mentality.

Most so-called "anarchists" have no idea what the word means.

I think they are pointing out that men's razors are covered by health insurance, while tampons aren't.

 

[Mr. Deez]

Wow. I've been paying for razors my whole life. What a sucker I've been. Next time I buy some, I'll hand the clerk my Blue Cross Blue Shield card instead of my debit card.

 

[Joe Fan]

I think they are pointing out that men's razors are covered by health insurance, while tampons aren't.

So their beef is with Obamacare?

 

[ProdigalHorn]

I thought the sign was someone protesting the march, saying that if we're going to pay for tampons like it's being requested, that we should also pay for razors for men.

Making that argument to a socialist doesn't really work because they think it all should be free anyway, so they'd say "Sure why not! Cover everything!" It would only be a concern if it could be shown that covering razors meant they couldn't grip about inequality anymore.

 

[Joe Fan]

I thought the sign was someone protesting the march, saying that if we're going to pay for tampons like it's being requested, that we should also pay for razors for men.....

I still dont get it.

They were also complaining than tampons are taxed while razors and Rogaine are not. I think all of these are taxed the same in Texas? Maybe someone else can shed more light on this?

 

[ProdigalHorn]

The feminist groups want tampons covered under health insurance. Either the sign is a feminist who thinks razors are covered, or someone mocking the feminists by saying that if we're going to cover tampons, we should also cover razors.

But looking at the sign again, I'm starting to think it's someone who actually believes men don't pay for razors.

Fake. The hat was clearly edited onto the image.
