Some have the attitude that they are not marching for any leader of the march or any group, they're marching for their granddaughters and grandmothers and for women everywhere regardless of demographics. People shouldn't lose sight of that goal.
I'm sure RWers have amplified any molehill into a mountain to try and divide liberals because they are terrified of the numbers of passionate energetic marchers for the first one in 2017 and the record number of women elected to office in 2018.
I know plenty of Jewish women and Muslim women who celebrate what they have in common and don't hate anyone.
