I dont know why and am especially disheartened to see women on here, insisting that marches advocating women's rights are heavily attended by lesbians. I live in DC and was on vacation during the march, but I would have LOVED to attend, and I know quite a few straight women who were there. As has been mentioned, it was an incredibly diverse crowd of over 500,000 men and women attending the march, an incredible turnout and an amazing show of public distress for what is happening in recent years regarding women's rights and freedom of choice. I dont see the humor at all in acting like women have to be interested only in women or hate men to want to express their opinions on women's rights. I like men too, but you know what? Women's rights are an important issue to me, and should be to EVERY woman. I wish I could have been there, it sounds absolutely amazing.

Maybe I am not seeing the humor because to me, it's not a funny issue. As has been mentioned, the goverment is trying to take away the right to decide what you can and can't do with your body. I personally am not a fan of abortion and would not choose one for myself, but I would never EVER believe that I have the right to tell another woman that she can't make that decision for herself, and I am personally disgusted with every person who thinks that they can.
