No. I wanted to attend one in Lancaster, but I would've had to get up very early to take a bus that would've went right through the protest area and I would've been there an hour early. It's very slacktivist of me, but I had a personally busy weekend.

Yes, Washington DC. Definitely one of the better decisions I've made recently.

No. And as a pro-lifer, I'm basically a terrorist according to those who support that cause.

No, since I've already attended a few protests, but I support their cause. Seeing how big this one was, I kind of wish I had gone, though I was feeling a bit under the weather.

A women's rally, you say? Probably a great place to pick up chicks, am I right? *fistbumps Tender Branson*

No, much to my frustration.  But I'm with them all the way.  I even support about 90% of their manifesto.

I definitely saw some guys at the rally who were probably going in with that mindset. Fortunately not more than 2 or 3 among the many thousands that were there.

No, but I broadly support the cause. Iffy on some of the details.

I'm iffy on many of it's SJW-like goals, so no. If there was wide-scale labour or worker's movement, hope me on board!.

The "cause" of the women's march as a whole wasn't really anything but "support women who are marginalized under the Trump presidency." Beyond that, pretty much every protester was there for their own causes/interests. Sure there were plenty of women's healthcare advocates and pro-choice activists. There were also immigration activists, labor activists, climate activists, really any movement you can name had some representation at the rallies, albeit often framing their issues through the lens of feminism. One sign I saw, for example, was on how the vast majority of people displaced by climate change have been female. Another was how women produce the majority of the world's food, and about empowering female farmers in greater agricultural discussions.

No (and there were Marches in the Netherlands!); I'm a reluctant supporter of the incoming administration, and regardless, I have very little in common with basically any of the SJW movements Crumpets outlined in his previous posts, even if I do support some of their causes.
