If we don’t do it now.. then when? I’m watching a doc on PBS on Emma Goldman this time the last doc was on the fire that killed women workers in NYC.. unions n women striking back in history. I’m 74 n willing to do my part again. These old relics don’t have a clue of what has been accomplished by women. Time to shake em up

I'm been saying this for 40 yrs of training women in the steel industry & said they are better than men because they have something to prove ! I'd take a crew of gal's any day ! bunch of ball bag men ! women are leveling the the playing field & better pay attention ! I've got 48 yr's in high steel erection & that is not a joke ! I treat women with equal respect to everything & sooner the more egotistical clowns like abbott & deathsentence realize that , the better off we will be ! god , I so fed up with this political bull-shit of these god damn republican's! get rid of this damn tribe of ignorance!

It's the education...it's a fact that Texas controls text book publishing for all states.

Home schooling by unqualified religious nutcases that has been encouraged since Raygun destroyed education in this country has not helped.

(Same with males, btw - some of us are actually good people, the other 30% are Conservative enablers.)

Also, can't remember her name, (maybe someone here can help out) but she started organizing housewives in the 1970's - she was integral in forming grassroots conservative organizations across White middle America to fight the Real Women's Rights Movement. She succeeded in stopping the ERA. She is and was a traitor to her gender.

It's always been totally beyond me how any woman would not support equal rights for women. It makes no rational sense.

Thanks for the heads up. I will be reposting as the actual date draws closer. I have the feeling that this will be close to the 2017 march which was the largest single day protest in the US. People are PISSED OFF!
