Ignored ironies: women, protest and Donald Trump : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 24/1/2017

These are hippies turned conservative protectors of the status quo, doves genetically modified to be hawks in Hillary Clinton's laboratory of politics.

The time for concerted action was before the election, not after it! And if anyone thinks that Vladimir's poodle is going to be swayed by a million non voting? (maybe a tummy rub?) Loud abusive women or feminazi's carrying hateful abusive signs, they need to rethink! (an' tha's no ma tummy!)

And perhaps try something that has worked elsewhere? The gander paddock and as orchestrated concerted household strike action in millions of homes! (Well honey you voted for him!?) :-)

many of the old women protesting against Trump voted for Bill Clinton. The left and hypocrisy can't be separated.

This article sums up the nature and tone of virtually every piece of writing I've seen of the march as written by men of the left, right or centre.

Trivialise, trivialise, trivialise. Ridicule, ridicule, ridicule.

Don't whatever you do give any credence to the significance of a march of that size, organisation and symbolism. Had it been a black or gay march of that magnitude, it would be deemed a great historic landmark. Instead, it's being treated as just a little get-together of a bunch of insular, cushy, middle class, mainly white women of privilege whose only concerns are running out of chardonnay or flats versus high heels.

Don't get into any of the ACTUAL issues of the protest. The idea that women can organise politically and can fully articulate the political issues important to all women everywhere is dangerous thinking

The Gillard Govt donated $300 million to the Clinton Foundation. Over $ billion was donated to the Clinton Foundation for Haiti.Haiti saw less than 5% of that money. As soon as Trump was elected all donations from the Aust Govt ceased to the Clinton Crime Foundation.

Killarney:

"The idea that women can organise politically and can fully articulate the political issues important to all women everywhere"

Why didn't they do this before the election when there was no possibility of it being mistaken for 'sour grapes'?

Hi Phanto,

Women in the US can organise and march okay: all they have to do next election campaign is get their timing right.

And, of course, get out and vote.
