Not sure what they're protesting about.
I'm not a fan of identity politics. It's bad enough to make massive generalizations and label & victimize groups based on their race and skin color.
But taking it to a binary level and victimizing an entire gender is a little extreme. I don't really care about "women's movements" and so-and-so. I prefer taking in one individual at a time irregardless of race or gender. What a concept!

P.S.
Please don't reply with "Trump said blah blah blah."
Be original.

Some guy in the White House who brags about assaulting women for fun.

Ah yes -- let's just forget the treatment that women have undergone in society the past couple of centuries or so. They certainly weren't treated as individuals, we they now?

Revisionist "history" is garbage, no matter how it's dressed up.
