Just curious how many white women participated...

(6,839 posts)The fact that these movements have so many "young" people is disturbing.

Not sure who was who in that scene - but some one needs to make a gif of it!

(6,110 posts)Maybe 2-3% max. In the dozens. Only a couple on Friday night. Many more on Saturday. There were a couple of videos posted Saturday morning showing groups marching in with some women mixed in. Still overwhelmingly male. I haven't been able to find those posts again.
The crowds on Friday night and on Saturday looked really different. Saturday was older, more militaristic, ... Had a different look all around (e.g. clothing, more beards).
Here is one woman protester at #16, maybe a second. The Heil Trump video is also in this tread.
