“My womb is not a football for you”

I can’t even contemplate what that means...?

How screwed up in the head do have to be to think any normal human being would know what that means?

If they hold a Day Without Women, and the press did not cover it, would anyone notice?

That is indeed one of the principal results of egalitarian lunacy. But those who join such movements with such purpose in mind are far less numerous than those who are motivated by compulsion. It is the difference between Lenin and his "useful idiots."

The compulsion driven need to make believe that people are truly equal--that is interchangeable--is the greatest impediment to real human progress ever realized. The Greatest Mischief Ever Wrought

A quick glance at some of the MSM sites shows this event is not making headlines. On ABC a couple pictures from D.C. show small crowds holding mass-produced signs. One shot is fairly straight-on (not from a higher vantage point), which would seem to mean that the “crowd” is only one layer deep.

What do you want to bet that the MSM will be reporting tonight on the “millions” of women attending marches all over the US?

So it wasn’t about women at all. It is just another one of those communist-inspired movements that seem to appear out of nowhere.
“occupy”
“BLM”

The purpose is to convince people that the civil order is crumbling.

So it’s a day without women with several in your face events planned. An oxymoron to the infinite power.

Do they somehow teleport for free to these events?

I don’t care what size the crowds are.

This thing was a BUST (no pun intended) in Manhattan.

My wife said only one gal called in sick at her place and the express buses, trains and streets were packed with the fairer sex getting to work.

“My womb is not a football for you”

What it means is that the sign bearer is hopelessly deranged! Whether because she never had a Mother who explained the nature of human sexuality; or is simply off the wall confused, who can say without some form of psychoanalysis. But to what purpose? She is not likely to influence anyone not similarly disturbed. Nor is she likely to be helped back to reality against her will.

A quick Google search has several pictures showing at least one big (>100) crowd. I’m not going to spend any more time working out the actual size of the whole movement this day, but am idly curious. But between men who make their women’s free time possible, and women who don’t have time/resources to protest, I don’t see the “strike” meaning much.

Per my tagline: “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution.”
This isn’t about protesting some grievance. This is about protesting for Revolution’s sake.

Question I’d like to ask protesters: “If we consented to resolving every single one of your alleged grievances, would you quit protesting?” Methinks the honest answer would be “no.”

Quite. It’s sheer nonsense. You can’t explain why it’s nonsense because there’s not enough sense there to explain why it adds up to nonsense.

“My womb is not a football for you”

In the context of the march, I believe the above could be translated as:

“A day without a woman is like a bicycle without a fish...”

This idiot 'Day without a Woman' gimmick is like that idiot Audi Superbowl commercial.

"What do I tell my daughter?

"Do I tell that her grandpa is worth more than her grandma?

"That her dad is worth more than her mom?

"Do I tell her that despite her education, her drive, her skills, her intelligence, she will automatically be valued as less than every man she ever meets?

"Or maybe ... I'll be able to tell her something different."

 

I saw that stupid commercial and I thought he should tell her that her daddy's rich and has a massive amount of White Privilege and so his precious little snowflake will never have to worry about the financial concerns that affect "those people".

  Same thing applies here. Because a woman is fortunate enough to have a father or a husband; she can play act on this day without a woman.

You know, I checked my privilege this morning over coffee and it said that I don’t have to put up with blue-pilled, virtue signalling, SJW cuckadoodle BS any more.

Your analogy, doubtless, would make sense to one of her fellow marchers.

One of their leaders is a Muslim who wants Sharia law and another is a murderer who killed a Jew, they sure aren’t going to discuss that stuff.

Wow,

I wonder what a day without white men would look like?

95% of every doctor, pilot, lawyer, judge, police and law enforcement, fire fighter, sewage engineer, trash hauler,,,, and on and on...

Yea, if we went a day without white males this world would STOP.

Do we really want to start a gender/race competition, because I got the sick time stored up since I usually don’t waste time with such stupid things...
