Will you be attending the Women's March? (USA, Oct 2nd)

Reproductive RightsWill you be attending the Women's March? (USA, Oct 2nd)

Posted September 15, 2021 by Hecate in FeministEvents

Like the title says, I am curious how many women on Ovarit plan on attending their local Women's March on October 2nd.

While there are major issues happening now concerning women's rights in my state, I don't know if I would want to go to this event. Looking at the official website, I find it surprising (sadly) that they are still using the word woman instead of "menstruator," etc. At the same time, the website makes it clear that the march organizers have aligned themselves with other issues, like defunding the police, that I am not completely on board with. There is also the fact that they have a TIM among their board members.

How do y'all feel about this?
