Not in my world they don't. Everyone I speak to about Australia (doesn't happen that often anymore tbh) are jealous I am (currently) able to live anywhere in Europe. They fully admit that Aus is just another country with issues.

Re: yep it's already started!
Well I was out there with my placard at the London march on Saturday, there were tens of thousands of people there, and no one was wailing or weeping. In fact it was a joyful and positive event. Lots of children, some pretty funny home made signs, lots of dogs accompanying and enjoying! Mind you, good weather helped.
Hardly so. I can understand the concerns of the LGBT but otherwise these demonstrations to me are nothing more than a mass resentment that a female failed to win the Presidency.
If we have Trump in the White House today it's because of Hillary. She was a lousy candidate, ran a lousy campaign and carried too much baggage into the campaign as well as representing a party that has tragically lost it's identity with the very people who traditionally supported it.
Maybe the Democrats learned a hard lesson from this

Women have learned the hard way that the only way to attain and retain their rights is to present a united front. The erosion of women's rights in one country can lead to the domino effect. I am thrilled that women worldwide realize just what a watershed moment is happening in the US. And as to your second sentence, yes, yes, and yes.

What has Trump got to do with womens rights in the UK ? Are American women oppressed, suffering inequality , second class citizens in our society?

Well it didn't turn out to be quite the coronation celebration that the organizers anticipated, did it?

Re: yep it's already started!
If you think that the protests were organized as a "coronation celebration" I'm not sure where you have been living in recent years, given attacks on women's right in many states. Hence, also, the global nature of the protests.

Re: yep it's already started!
Therefore, given the mood before the election, there can be no doubt that the organizers of the protest in DC had a specific expectation as to who was going to have been just inaugurated. Hëll, last October I had the same
And it's a great pity, I hope you agree, that a protest in support of women's rights appears to have been entirely redirected as a protest against the US and President Trump.

Now who's playing the straw man card? I was only talking about the protest in DC.
