[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope.

I despise our current President and his agenda, and am extremely supportive of women/women's rights/gender equality/etc. but these marches aren't going to do a damn thing except make their participants feel good. And, I dislike the fact that low-income women - women who face significantly more barriers than affluent, educated women - are unlikely to be able to participate.

Rather, I'll continue to do actual work to effect change - volunteer for PP and my local women's shelter, call my representatives, donate to pro-equality organizations, etc. [/quote]

And in fact, situations where schools are shut down, may disadvantage those women more since they will then have to miss work or pay for child care they hadn't prepared for.  I'm really hoping APS doesn't close.  I'm a working mom, and guarantee that based on my and DH's schedules, I'll be the one to have to take an unplanned vacation day tomorrow if DC's teachers decide not to work.

This is lovely symbolism, but this is not an administration that will be swayed by it, or frankly even notice.  Fox News also likely won't cover it, so a large swath of the right-leaning nation won't notice either.[/quote]
