Abortion Activist: Men Attending Anti-Trump March “Have to be Okay With Being Led by Women”

Article here. Excerpt:

'When it comes to men voicing their opinions about abortion, pro-abortion feminists’ position basically boils down to this: If you’re a man and you’re pro-life, you’d better shut up about it; if you’re a man and pro-choice on abortion, you’re welcome to tag along.

That, in not so blunt terms, appears to be the position of women organizing the Women’s March on Washington on Jan. 21, the day after the presidential inauguration.

“This is a movement that is led by women, but it is not just for women. It’s for all people,” Linda Sarsour, one of the march’s lead organizers, told the Washington Post.

The newspaper reported:

One caveat: “You have to be okay with being led by women,” she said.

“A lot of men are quiet supporters of women,” said Jackson Katz, author of “Man Enough? Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and the Politics of Presidential Masculinity.” Millions of men voted for Clinton and support women’s rights both politically and personally, he said, but they don’t have a powerful voice.

… Katz said these men will need to speak out if they don’t want to see abortion outlawed, given Trump’s pledge to appoint antiabortion judges to federal courts.

“That means taking some risks in challenging other men, and literally standing up to the bullying that comes from the right about masculinity,” Katz said.'

I do however have a problem with dictated political orthodoxy at events wherein all are supposedly welcomed.

Bit of a contradiction.

doesn't agree with partial birth abortion they are anti-abortion.

if one doesn't agree with giving feminist groups billion$ (wava) w/o any oversight, they hate women.

if a guy wants a pre-nup he is anti-marriage.

if a guy wants title ix applied evenly to all he is anti-women empowerment.

if one doubts that women only lie 1% of the time in their accusations against men, they are ill informed trolls.

if any man has any opinion about women's issues that doesn't follow every radical feminist opinion, he is anti-woman.

its really just alinski alinski alinski every time, all the time.

commies much? like in the olden days, its just easier to call them all commies. let G_d sort it out in the end. giving themselves always changing names when found out is pretty much alinski too.
