It’s now been six dizzying and nauseating months since Donald Trump took the oath of office, and the brightest spot on the American political landscape is the grassroots resistance that has sprung up to counter his regime. No previous president ever faced so many protests so early in his term, and the millions who have taken to the streets since January can already take significant credit for stalling and frustrating key aspects of Trump’s agenda, from his Muslim ban to his bid to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
There are numerous qualities that distinguish this organizing upsurge from past waves of protest in the United States, but the most striking and significant is its composition: the resistance, by and large, is women.
The movement kicked off, of course, with massive Women’s Marches in more than 650 cities and towns across the United States the day after the inauguration, which together added up to the single largest day of protest in American history.
Women have anchored nearly every aspect of the resistance work since. Women made up a solid majority of those who marched on Washington time and again last spring: sociologist Dana Fisher found, for instance, that 54% of participants in the Peoples Climate March and 57% of those who attended DC’s March on Science were women. A March survey of phone calls to Congressional offices found an even more striking gender gap, with women constituting 86% of those making calls.
Women have taken the lead in using stronger resistance tactics since the inauguration, from blockading Trump Tower in support of immigrant rights to holding sit-ins against Trumpcare at Senate offices in Washington.
And women have spearheaded many of the most noteworthy creative actions to counter the broader Trump agenda in recent months.....

Stopped reading at mozlum ban.
If it was a ban, how come the largest mozslum country wasn’t included.
you mean LIBERAL female.
DJT won the majority of white female vote, which is the largest female voting group.
One friend of mine suggested that the male head of household have the proxy vote for all his minor children.
He has nine.
I don’t think that might be such a good idea once all our imported muslims start becoming American “citizens”.
Yep, the welfare moochers, control psychopaths, and their paid protesters are enough to make taxpayers vomit. All of this speaks well of President Trump’s accomplishments.
Macron said he would put women in charge by electing them to Parliament only to get from them approval of his decree powers rendering Parliament powerless.... basically , these women are only given the power and positions so as to take those away later more easily
Wonder if they were wearing their pussy hat when they were writing this drivel?
I think she is saying they need a lot more vagina costumes if they are to be taken seriously.
Second it.
I am a female and vote for those who do their job in a responsible manner.
Are you really sure about that?
Planting the seeds of doubt into your mind.
Besides these radical left women DO NOT speak for me.
BINGO!
Well put.
The Sisterhood of the Crusty Pantsuit
.
Excellent idea.
This time they voted for one of their own. They listened to the fantasies woven by the media and believed all the horribly inaccurate polls and fervently held dear the promise that, "This Time it was Their Turn.".....then the votes were counted.
You got a start. I’d wager that the majority of these leftwing activist type women have serious emotional problems stemming from hatred of their fathers.
Indeed, these types of women were instrumental in early anti
Alcohol and anti tobacco movements and today in the anti gun
Movement.Very sick and very dangerous.
