This "Women's march on Washington" is cracking me up. So far they have banned any pro-life women from marching with them, and they are also complaining that not enough men have signed up for it. They are also now getting complaints that there are too many white women. They also left Hillary off their "honoree list". :)

Twitchy also had a page the other day about the Gals' March being all accepting and inclusive of Muslim chicks. Because feminism.

I worked downtown at hotels through a bunch of women's marches. It's like a giant hen party. A chance to shop booze and get some strange .

Several customers are going and one Anatolian person I know is as well, although she is doing so reluctantly.
The Anatolian person posted to FB not that long ago that while she is going, if it starts getting nasty she is leaving. She's all activisty and on the left side of the political spectrum and even she doesn't trust this thing to stay peaceful.

I have enjoyed the braying from the left about how bold these women are. They are facing certain beatings by the state, tear gassing, and incarceration.
My liberal Facebook friends exchange recipes for magical cocktails to remedy the effects of tear gas, recommend Sharpie-ing the phone number of the National Lawyers Guild on an arm, and preparing for a long weekend in DC Central Cell Block because the police will simply round up hundreds without probable cause because of oppression.
So let's break this down a bit....
Tear gas. Really the only way to deal with this is to use a mask... not a paper dust thingy, a gas mask. But if you don't have one, you probably will not die. You will feel crappy with a runny nose and burny eyes, but you WILL NOT FACE THE END OF HUMANITY. And further, the last time tear gas was used in DC was November 1977 when a visit from the Shah of Iran got ugly.
Sharpie numbers on the arm. This certainly makes you look like a bad ^$$ professional protester, but when I see the hausfrau sporting this badge of honor, I always recommend that when they get home they visit a doctor because the Sharpie contains Xylene, and they will probably suffer awful illness.
Ah the DC Central Cell Block! So the aforementioned believe that this is the place to show solidarity and is a ticket to punch for demo credibility. The "protesters" are simply lumped in with the usual crack heads, robbers, disorderlies, shooters, and various ne'er do wells locked up on the average weekend. This will not result in a Nobel Prize for "Letters from the DC Central Cell Block."
And if you think you will get locked up today to prove your worth as a demonstrator, you may be disappointed. The average cop in DC worked about 16-20 hours yesterday and is pretty tired. You will need to pretty much commit Murder1 While Armed to get arrested.
I eagerly await my liberal friends' tales of heroism for standing so boldly against "the man" in the face of grave danger.
-
Maybe you guys should set up a booth and charge a dollar per bop in the head with the billy club and ten bucks per tase. That way they can get an injury worthy of a "real protester" and you guys can make some cash.

I'd really love to know what the average annual income is for these downtrodden women who are marching in Washington today.
I bet it's not poverty level.

So Madonna is bragging that she "thought about" blowing up the White House? Is that still racist? Because I'm pretty sure it was racist about two days ago. ???

Nope. They're liberals, who expect government (i.e. someone else) to take care of them.
Compare to the much maligned Tea Party that always left their protest sites looking better than when they arrived. (And had a significant number of women.)

Hell, Ben, I don't know what to tell you. I want to know where one gets hooked up with free razors myself...

I have no idea what this sign is saying. I mean, I can read the individual words, but who is "them"? Men, I assume? Since when have men NOT paid for razors? I've always paid for mine, and I've never heard any males reporting a source of free razors.
Katie Hopkins doesn't seem to be entirely sympathetic to "the cause," but she does offer a fairly cogent perspective on the march: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4144242/KATIE-HOPKINS-Having-vagina-biology-not-argument.html

Free tampons? You have got to be kidding me.
Please tell me the current welfare system is somehow denying poverty stricken women access to sanitary products through an antiquated clause originally placed in the administrative language as a response to Toxic Shock Syndrome.
Please?
It's not like tampons are absolutely necessary. I live with three women who get by with pads just fine. I have a vivid memory of my paternal grandmother relating when menstrual flow control products were introduced, and the reaction of her father (a Spanish American War Vet)
I am NOT suggesting that tampons shouldn't be an eligible expense at any level, but if she gets free tampons, I'm going after free toilet paper.
-
So far the only "threat" I can see coming from Trump in terms of an issue that is primarily affecting woman is that he flopped over to pro life and has stated that he will appoint pro life justices. Obviously, I don't care for it since I happen to be pro choice and, had this march been a pro choice march, I may have actually supported it.
Instead it's been billed as a march for "woman's rights" and I have yet to see any of those rights that woman are missing or threatened enumerated by this mob.
Tuco, just FYI, tampons are cheaper than pads. I assume she used the word "tampon" because "feminine sanitary products" didn't fit on her sign. Also, new materials have made TSS a thing of the past. You have to leave them in for like days to get that now.
Either way, none of it's that expensive, especially if you buy generic. If I can afford to buy name brand products without starving, I doubt any woman in that march has any struggle.
-
I have no idea, but could it be that hospitals charge patients for tampons, but not for razors?
-

I think hospitals charge for everything, right down to the stupid booty socks they make you wear, and I can't see how they would be even expected to provide razors for general grooming purposes.
Plus, I doubt they'd have tampons. They'd have pads, as most of the patients needing the items wouldn't be in a condition to use tampons.

Took a couple seconds of googling. That photo was obviously taken in Trafalgar Square so I thought something was wonky.
Google said it was about a UK tax on feminine products. It's not in the US. It was largely due to the EU regulations, which have minimum tax rules. Sanitary products were deemed "luxury" items, and thus subject to a 5% tax. Men's razors were classed as "essential" and not subject to VAT. It is completely logical to view that as completely stupid and counter to simple logic. As razors are not essential and feminine hygiene products are essential. Some people got more worked up about the matter than probably warranted, but the underlying issue is legitimate. I'd be pissed too.

My bad. I grabbed it from a Twitchy thread of signs at the women's march and didn't pay attention to the background.

Hospitals charge for everything they can, yes. I worked in a for-profit ER for a while and we had to scan *everything* before giving it to a patient. Except for the crutches. Apparently Medicaid/Medicare says you can't charge for those, so those didn't get scanned. Or given out very often.
Most hospitals I've worked in or have visited have courtesy tampons and pads in every bathroom... Razors, on the other hand, weren't available in the ERs period - they were a "safety hazard". In fact, the only razors I've seen in those hospitals are locked up in emergency defibrillation kits and in the OR rooms.

If you have a woman in your life who supported The Womens March just tell her you understand how she feels (assuming you do) and if appropriate, hug her.
Trying to have a philosophical or policy discussion about this demonstration will be doomed to failure.
Those discussions need to take place under different circumstances.

A little background on one of the Women's March speakers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Hylton
From 1995, when she was still in prison:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/199507/crime-and-punishment
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."
