A week after the Inauguration of Donald Trump, politically active women across America could choose to make themselves heard at two major rallies revolving around women’s issues. They could attend a pro-choice, feminist march known as the Women’s March or they could wait one week and attend the 44th annual pro-life, March for Life.
Some lucky few, such as myself, were able to attend both.
The marches had their similarities. Both marches were held in D.C. Both marches were heavily attended by women. And both marches attracted people from all over the country to participate. But each march was not made equal.
Being physically at the marches, it is easy to recognize differences between the two. In fact, some of the differences were downright stunning. Take a look for yourself, perhaps you will agree.

Examples of “inclusion” at the Women’s March
Horrified that the @womensmarch has partnered w/an anti-choice org. Plse reconsider – inclusivity is not about bolstering those who harm us.

Only one march persuaded me to attend again.

Gentlemen, we face a formidable foe.
From every direction.
Anon: WTF is that?
What is that big, round thing hanging between her legs and below her knees.
I refuse to believe that I can see her bellybutton in that round thing.
Believe it.
I’m not sure, but it marched -how I don’t know- in that anti Trump women’s march.
(Maybe it got carried around on a fork lift, sort of like a float in a parade.)
It’s called a gunt ragman.
They are just useful idiots and useless eaters . Their owners are the real enemy and they own the mass media ,our currency and much of academic.Some parts of government.
Our real enemies are formidable and they truly hate us.
There exist 2 separate and distinct cultures in America.
That of traditional, patriotic, God loving Americans.
and that of vulgar, hedonistic, if it feels good do it humanists.
Civil War II is inevitable.
The DNA attended at both marches may indicate female, but unlike The Women’s March, the March For Life was attended by ladies.
Glad we aint got none of them feminists round these parts. None those giant pink beasts neither
I never met a sane woman, but the calm, thoughtful ones are less insane. There is a scale by which to measure women, one axis is beauty, the other is sanity. The perfect woman is a 10 on beauty and a 2-3 on sanity. If you find a woman that’s a 10 on both, run like hell, it’s a dude in drag.
Nice to meet you Butthead Slayer. I’m Maggie and Nick’s a lucky man.
I think I saw that lady on the bench out here in a pasture. Grazing.
All I’m going to say as a woman who went into a military career field shortly after it opened to women and had a successful traveling-around-the-world career cut blissfully short by my marriage to helpmeet Nick and my CHOICE of motherhood which precluded my flying around the world in an AWACS plane … all I can say is I couldn’t have accomplished even half of what I’ve accomplished and experienced if I’d wasted ten minutes of my time at shit like these stupid bitches in these costumes which are redundant. They are already a bunch of cunts without the pussy suits.
See, Stucky? I tolerate the word and even use it in correct context.
See Unapproachable? Word Choice. Cunt in a pussy suit. Visually disturbing.
And, I edited to add, disconcerting when presented by an obviously (or not so) “normal” middle-aged woman with more than her share of education, job experience, world travel and life experiences. Not to mention the mentoring of C.S. Rosenthal during her adult college years when the-then-doctoral candidate walked into a room full of sophomore students taking their second poli-sci general elective, saw an older woman in the room and nodded to let me know she was glad. Because of her, I almost got that double major in political science, but because of a dozen other things that came up called LIFE, I did not.
Perhaps, if I mention my old “progressive” friend (yeah, I know she never told, but when her reading list included Lani Guinere, Al Gore, Robespierre, among other liberal viewpoints with an occasional conservative theorist tossed in, only an idiot OR A YOUNG IMPRESSIONABLE COLLEGE STUDENT FRESH OUTTA PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL could miss the bias), someone will tell her some right-wing nutjob keeps mentioning her and she might show up here and join the fray. In a brisk, matter-of-fact, thoroughly enjoyable Cindy sort of way. I enjoy debating issues with someone who comes to the discussion with well-grounded arguments. Because all of these issues do indeed have valid claims for discussion.
However, if you are trying to argue for an increased respect for your intellectual abilities, then you should not wear a pussy suit to the debate. If Cindy ever shows up here to explain her more liberal points of view, she will NOT be wearing a pussy suit.
That is what this not-so-obviously normal, middle-aged mother and happily married woman living off the fat of the land in a mountain of rabbits thinks.
1000+ for those comments Maggie.
As for Butthead all I can say is I hope he doesn’t have a wife or girlfriend and feel sorry for his Mom.
Cunt in a Pussy suit. Too funny!
That is a word tour de force! Has even more Gravitas when done by a woman.
Go Maggie!
I ams whats I ams and sez whats I thinks. Its called being free you cunts in pussy suits.
” … cunts in pussy suits.” —– Mags
Hahahaha. Damn, that’s creative writing right there. I stand in awe before you. Seriously.
Well, I wanted to prove I was not prudish when I said I hated the C-word. I am only selective in how it is used.
Otay, Buttwheat, whatcha say? A new TBP monthly presentation to the best new entry into the TBP acronymical lexicon of exquisitely crafted oxymoronical phrases along with other mockings of the Newspeakienne dialect we find our children and their rugrats speaking.
I demand First Entry for January 2017 for {DRUM ROLL PLEASE}
Cunts in Pussy Suits aka CIPS/sometimes CLIPS to include Lesbos – term to bring to mind the same loathing felt when watching an adult woman dressed as a pink and red vagina trying to tell you how she’s been demeaned and made to feel unequal for no reason other than having a vagina. Um, maybe WEARING one isn’t the right message to bring to an intellectual argument. Contributed by Maggie, TBPs very own Chubby Bunny Granola Making and Turf-Building Pellet spreading monkey, happy and satiated helpmeet of Nick.
Here’s my latest entry for the Outstanding Lexicon Contribution of 2017, so far:
Okay, seriously, women.
You want to argue about how you were demeaned and mistreated, mocked even, for having a vagina. So you show up on the national DEBATE stage wearing a vagina outfit and you expect to make serious progress on the intellectual discussion?
C. I. P. S. Cxxxs In Pxxxy Suits. [Origin, Mags of TBP] Pronounced Kips, though we could easily make it CLIPS to include Lesbians or even CAFLIPS (Cunts and Fat Lesbians in Pussy Suits). If such prefixes, suffixes, or even transfixes occur using the CIPS root (Get your mind out of the gutter and your pants, Stucky. Your hand, too.) , then Mags will get full credit for the word origin. Now, the definition: The acronym stands for the loathing you feel for someone trying to correct your thinking when they are stoned, drunk or just plain stupid enough to think this getup and their loud ignorant argument proves some sort of point.

Maggie, these “people” are starting to give me nightmares. If I awake screaming at 3 AM tomorrow I’m going to blame that picture above, though, not you.
Enlightenment need not be a pleasant process; perhaps we should keep that picture handy for those who need to see it, when they comment about their “rights”.
