The Women’s March organizers say there's been a surge in sign-ups following President Trump's decision to have U.S. forces strike and kill Iranian military leader Gen. Qasem Soleimani.

, compelling some civil rights groups to distance themselves. There has also been infighting and complaints of a leadership structure that was too top-heavy.

They should've done it on Sunday so I can watch football without all of the bitching

Husband's free day with GF.

When US service men were killed in fields by other countries, were our Women Marchers protesting other countries waging wars against our people? Now these women are protesting US responding to these attacks. Don’t give me racial equality when your country killed our people!

Lock him up

Is Amy Schumer & Madonna going to be at the 'Women's March?' They both can put on a show for the news media if they are.

It’s not a march for all women, just a specific sect.

Is it the flagging enthusiasm or was it the anti-white bigotry, and flagrant anti semitism?

Small crowd.

What are they griping about? The booming economy?

Why do they have these marches in the coldest month of the year why not have it in April or May

I think most people have figured out that the march is not actually about women and is just about the democratic party.

Yes here comes the voice of reason

I have a friend who wants to go, but his wife won’t let him.

Probably cause the organizers are a bunch of crazies that scare off normals.

Lol

Must’ve had a flat

I always ask but I’ll ask again ... what am I marching for?

Sadly we have become complacent.

Or was the increase caused by ewarren claiming BernieSanders is a typical Democrat misogynist. Then they read Bernie’s rape paper. WalkAway from TheDemocrats and the fake metoo movement!

I think some are men identifying as women.

🤣😂🤣😂 yeah right!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes; because Iranians are sooo kind to their property (women)! These people (women’s march organizers)are speaking out for the very people (Iranians) that would prevent them from speaking out! Insanity reigns!

USA is saying women can’t think for themselves. Sad.

Decisions in political context always generate changes in the behavior of different social organizations because of their impact on the general population.

They're lying.

You wonder what they do with their time the rest of the year

How tf does this go together?

What does one have to do with the other?

Because Irans regime and Islam loves cherishes and respects women… So of course our highly evolved liberated feminist women in America would be on their team… That makes perfect sense… I’m glad none of them are insane maniacs or dystopian reality dopes or anything like that.

New spin: Qasem Soliemani was a womens rights Champion! 🤣🤣🤣

I doubt they show up. Why...it serves no good and just makes women look shallow.

So, the women who are Pro-Abortion are *also* Pro-Iran. Duly noted
