Striding for equality: Women’s March set for third consecutive year in Kona
West Hawaii Today ^ | Wednesday, January 2 | Max Dible

KAILUA-KONA — Their boots are made for walking.

And that’s just what they’ll do Saturday, Jan. 19, at the third annual Kona Women’s March. Set for 2 p.m. at the Lanihau Shopping Center, the march will flow up Henry Street, circle down Palani Road, hang a left at Kuakini Highway and finish with a climb back up Henry Street and into the center’s parking lot.The entirety of the route is equipped with sidewalks and was chosen in the name of both being safe and being seen, explained Yvette Kay, an organizer of the event. This year’s theme is “Women’s Wave,” a celebration of female successes on a national scale, particularly in politics as more than 100 women will serve in either the U.S. House or Senate in the coming year.

Women’s March was realized as an organization a short time after the election of President Donald Trump. Protesters of some of the president’s stated positions and policy intentions took to the streets in scores of municipalities across the country. The Washington Post projected that between 3.3 million and 5.2 million people participated in the first demonstration in January of 2017, the day after the president’s inauguration.

Kay said two years later, the demonstration in Kona remains in many ways about the same thing.

So they run the world practically now, get paid more than men, have us pink ribboning when there is no prostate ribbon and we’re ignored, the only thing they are not equal in is deaths per 1000 on the job. Nope, not even close.

So I doubt they are marching to close that gap.

These women are demonstrating en masse that they are just as hysterical and incapable of rational thought as the culture of the 1800s deemed women to be. How does this support the notion that women are equal to men?

And the fact that there are over 100 women elected to national office is not impressive, if they are all intellectual equals to Pelosi, Waters, and Ocasio-Cortez. There are actually intelligent, rational women in the country, but one would never know it by looking at the prominent female politicians.

They do not march for equality but rather for leftism.

Japan wanted Hawaii in 1941. Let’s give it to them.

I’m guessing they want the same rights as illegal immigrants?
