Women's March splinters over name with local chapters insisting they're independent...

Four organizations have sued the national Women's March group — led by activists Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez and Linda Sarsour — over efforts to trademark the name, arguing that no entity can own the march or the activism it has inspired. Some groups have sought to rebrand to shed the "Women's March" name and the tumult that comes with it.

As they prepare for the third annual Women's March on Saturday, leaders are grappling with the question: What is in a name, and is the name "Women's March" worth fighting for?

"There's power in the name because of what we've all done and the movement we've all created," said Katherine Siemionko, who founded Women's March Alliance, a New York organization that will lead a Manhattan march Saturday, and who organized the first Women's March there in 2017. "But then having the name also ties us to a group we have nothing to do with. And that's been a problem for us this year."

Some womens aren't equal? Sammiches hardest hit.

Independent but ordered to protest....most likely by a man.

[Libloather]

Just curious - what would a Man’s March look like?

Did you see the beef some of those women were packing? The Idaho potato(e) farmers must be reallly cashing in$$$!

But it was probably a trans-man, that is, a woman, albeit a confused woman.

Well, men instead of women marching. But instead of "pussy" hats, they would be wearing hats shaped like... ummm... nevermind.

[Libloather]

It’s always about the taters. Please drive to the window...

I was thinkin’ more about BBQ and beer. Womens? Oh yeah, and those.

Yeah, there ya go. Works for me.

And BTW, Pro-Tip: Do NOT do a google/bing/etc. non-safe image search on "dickhead hat". Woo-boy, there are some strange folks out there.

[kallisti]

I, for one, will heed your advice.

Interesting - thanks for posting. The Left is made up of an uneasy alliance of diverse voting blocs that compete for what they want - against each other as much if not more against what is considered their opposition. They have no unified message, no version of Trump for a ideological leader. They have scattered messages and scattered leaders across various blocs and geographical areas - nothing completely unified. So am not surprised the brass knuckles are coming out and the skirmishing is picking up. The struggle for supremacy by one bloc or another is in progress.

No, no, no. A MAN’S march. Not some sort of snowflake, racist crap. A MAN’S march. It could be on the horizon.

[Redcitizen]

I’ll take a ham on wheat with mayo and lettuce.

Okay.

I’ll be there marching beside you. I’ll be the guy in the Kevlar vest and bullet proof helmet. Just in case.

Remember on June 3, 1968 Andy Warhol came up in an elevator at his studio and was nearly shot to death by SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) member Valerie Solonas who used two guns to shoot him. She was called “a radical feminist.” Lots more of them around in 2019. Watch it.

Does it surprise anyone? Women can’t even get along with themselves.

No need. We all met, back in the day, during *Crinton's reign. Amazing event. It could happen again. The strangest part was being asked to sign some random form recognizing yourself. Nah. Didn't do it. Info gathering. The swamp creatures are all over the place.

[Larry Lucido]

led by activists Bob Bland

Sure, why not.
