Why are the majority of those "resisting" women?

Don't both men and women have interest in the issues that effect our country? It isn't just about equal pay, health care, etc. If you look at the history of the US, men were more vocal and active in politics. How and why is "resisting" this current fake prez being taken up by more women than men and not by both sexes?

10. But not the 70-80% of lawyers reported to show up at airports for the travel ban, and call congress.

Any crowd of protesters you see in the past six weeks is a good 60-65% women. Many stock photos are deceptive as they show the start of the march, and the first few lines of marchers is typically much more guys than the rest.

It's been striking to see.

Decades of progress being rolled back or eliminated, with a full-blown restoration of the patriarchy looming.

To congress are reported to be 80/20 women.

I've never seen any protest that was more that 40% men, unless they were tea party assholes.

I'd like to add that as a woman I wanted his pussy grabbing to cost him the election. IMHO that's why the pussy hats were so popular we bought out all the pink yarn in the country.

And I saw a lot of men wearing pussy hats.
