The Women's March on Washington

There are some interesting stories there.  I especially liked the perspective of Lulu, who is from Romania.

Their perspectives and reasons for voting for Trump were understandable.  Quite thoughtful in most cases.  Definitely not "low information" voters.

And therefore must be "fake news," because everyone knows that only low information voters supported The Donald.

A little background on one of the Women's March speakers:

From 1995, when she was still in prison:

Spurling himself interviewed Donna: "I couldn't believe this girl who was so intelligent and nice-looking could be so unemotional about what she was telling me she and her friends had done. They'd squeezed the victim's testicles with a pair of pliers, beat him, burned him. Actually, I thought the judge's sentence was lenient. Once a jailbird, always a jailbird."

...

But there was another moment, on our second day together, when she slipped verbally, and said in an almost irritable way, "He [the victim] was going to die anyway, so . . ." and then she caught herself. I just looked at her. All her previous protestations that when arrested she'd had no idea Vigliarole was dead were clearly lies.

What a lovely person.  Let's make a movie about her life.

Agreed.  Any worthwhile topics (like equal pay for equal work) get lost among the dancing vajajays.

Chris, you know that the "wage gap" isn't really a thing, right?  If you compare like with like (i.e. women  in the same job as men), women absolutely do earn the same as men and in some industries more.

The statistics behind the wage gap line are comparing overall average incomes and ignore that men tend to work in higher risk and higher paying jobs at a greater rate then women, and women tend to find more fulfillment in things outside of work and on average do less to chase careers.

If it were true that women really do earn drastically less then men and do the same work, companies would hire only women to undercut everyone else with their cheap labor.

Whereas, as we know, instead they hire those people who "do the work Americans don't want to do."
