I can't articulate what I'm feeling, but all of us are taking action in our own way. For me, it's often behind the scenes, supporting causes on the front line and sending email. And then taking a self-care break and starting up again. This is an ultra marathon and we will need warriors long after most of our world has forgotten. Thank you, Steph, for your role in this crusade. Your bravery is both inspirational and motivational.

All week I've struggled to find a way to say these words. Yesterday, a woman told me about a friend who had stopped at a gas station outside Cincinnati to fill up her car. She was dressed professionally and on her way to a business meeting. A man stopped her and told her she was exactly what was wrong with America... and now that trump was president, they would finally be able to send her home where she belonged and get her out of the corporate workforce. This strong, professional woman got back into her car and just cried. <br /><br />That's merely one reason that women needed to march. Her life, her choices. sara [at] journey of doinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328180529729262449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-17767555567172705962017-01-27T16:26:13.711-05:002017-01-27T16:26:13.711-05:00I cried lots of tears on Saturday too for the same...I cried lots of tears on Saturday too for the same reasons. It's awesome that you were in DC for it. I've been lucky enough to see mostly positive response to the march, but I know lots of people that just didn't get what it was about. I've been loving the #whyimarch articles. People are speaking up from all different backgrounds and beliefs. My goal is to continue to speak up and show up.

He sounds insane. But enough about that idiot, love this post. I was in meetings all day on Tuesday so I had a plan to come back so I could read this properly. Great points and great post. My husband and I and some friends marched in the SF one and it was really special. What a great day and what a powerful time. I also really appreciate MOST of the responses from people, even ones who did not "agree". There were a lot of conservative people in my realm who respected the hell out of the whole thing. I also hope it served as a message that destroying property ruins your chance of being heard. This was a special and beautiful day to be American.

(Certainly not since November.) I'm hoping that if enough of us continue to speak out over and over (and over and over...) the women who posted "I don't need the Women's March" stuff might eventually get woke.

I cried multiple times, I felt love and empowerment, there were constant compliments and a feeling of comradery.<br /><br />And I'm getting a lot of those same negative responses that you mentioned above. I was accused of reducing women to their reproductive organs, which is no feminist at all. SHUT UP.<br /><br />We were lucky because our march went right through downtown and we could stop whenever to eat or drink or pee. I was marching when I read a tweet out loud that said the DC march was no longer a march because there was no place for anyone to march to. Someone nearby asked me to repeat it and people all around me started cheering. So we felt it on the other side of the country!

I was sick with a stomach bug yesterday and saw you posted it and couldn't wait to read, because I knew it would be thorough, well-thought-out, inspiring, smart and wonderful. And it was. I agree with every point you made, everything you said, and everything that day stood for. When I got off my train at Penn Station the first woman I saw was holding a sign and in a wheelchair, and I knew I was where I belonged. To the naysayers - screw them. I'm furious at their response to the march but it only fuels the fire. I'm prepared to continue this fight for as long as it takes and know you are too.

And I wasn't even there. <br /><br />You said why I wish I had been able to attend and the women I ran into while we were getting dinner on Saturday said basically the same thing as you. I AM SO GLAD so many women (and men) showed up for this. It demonstrates (no pun intended) why this is such a critical movement and that it's about more than just Trump. <br /><br />And what you said about every little girl getting the same opportunities? THAT RIGHT THERE is why I get fired up when people rail against women who don't have kids. Making different choices doesn't exclude you from compassion or wanting equity or equality or an even playing field. THANK YOU for standing up for my daughter, her friends, and girls like them everywhere.<br /><br />And now I cry again.Jana @ Jana Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501814243709445827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-64300140961812487052017-01-24T12:30:04.481-05:002017-01-24T12:30:04.481-05:00That senator's Facebook status makes me SO ANG...That senator's Facebook status makes me SO ANGRY I think my skin might catch on fire.

This post is so well written that I think I might have to quote you when people start questioning why I supported the March. I too am very surprised by how nasty other people of been about women going out there and supporting their believes. I'm like you you make your choices for your life I want to be able to make the choices for mine they don't have to be the same choices but we need to be respectful of one another.

I was unable to march but I felt such great pride for all the women and men who took a stand and were not silent. How strongly they rallied around the freaking world (how amazing is that!!) and yet did so peacefully. It does break my heart o see so many people threatened by women standing up (perhaps because we are a majority?) and especially seeing women react harshly (perhaps a bit of conscience they are resisting) but it also fuels my fire because it shows our message is getting heard.

Couldn't agree more. It was downright moving to be in the biggest crowd I've ever stood in in my life and feel not an ounce of fear, not a drop of negativity. It was women supporting, helping, praising, raising women. It was feminists waving their flags proudly. <br /><br />That "Power of the people" sign is a great one! I loved that the message was "this is what democracy looks like" through and through. And it was day one. I am so, so hopeful that we screamed loud enough to echo for days, weeks, years to come.<br /><br />Reading shit like that senator's post makes me ill. It's such a gross mischaracterization of everything we've ever talked about, and yet he is just one of many saying those things and believing he's in the right. One of my goals this year is to make sure everyone I know who is eligible is heading out to vote in mid-terms. And as for what you said about the pro-life crowd, I couldn't agree more and have been yelling that since last week. Honestly, I don't believe you can be pro-life (in the way we understand it to mean today) and be a feminist. And your shirt in that photo says everything I feel about that.<br /><br />It was an honor to march with women like you.
