I was upbraided by a “Facebook friend” for not being present at one of the women’s marches against President Trump and his administration last Saturday. Well, there was no such march in my area, and anyway, I’m still not quite fit enough to join a street march after a Christmastime fall (stone cold sober too!)
But there were so many different causes embraced by the international Women’s Marches against Trump that I’m not entirely sure what was the exact focus.
Some participants were objecting to Mr Trump’s “abusive” – and certainly verbally offensive – attitudes to women. Others were marching for peace, equality, Black Lives Matter, environmentalism, migrants, Muslims, Mexicans and abortion rights.
