Women’s March against Trump: Brandi Atkinson’s ‘They Don’t Speak For Me’ Facebook response goes viral
The outrage against President Trump has been ongoing since the election results shocked Hillary Clinton supporters and groups of women have organized and marched against the new president yesterday. In response, the words of Brandi Atkinson are being shared by women across Facebook, separating themselves from the feminists marching.

Here’s the post:
I am not a “disgrace to women” because I don’t support the women’s march. I do not feel I am a “second class citizen” because I am a woman. I do not feel my voice is “not heard” because I am a woman. I do not feel I am not provided opportunities in this life or in America because I am a woman. I do not feel that I “don’t have control of my body or choices” because I am a woman. I do not feel like I am ” not respected or undermined” because I am a woman.
I AM a woman.
I can make my own choices.
I can speak and be heard.
I can VOTE.
I can work if I want.
I control my body.
I can defend myself.
I can defend my family.
There is nothing stopping me to do anything in this world but MYSELF.
I do not blame my circumstances or problems on anything other than my own choices or even that sometimes in life, we don’t always get what we want. I take responsibility for myself.
I am a mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister, a friend. I am not held back in life but only by the walls I choose to not go over which is a personal choice.
Quit blaming.
Take responsibility.
If you want to speak, do so. But do not expect for me, a woman, to take you seriously wearing a pink va-jay-jay hat on your head and screaming profanities and bashing men.
If you have beliefs, and speak to me in a kind matter, I will listen. But do not expect for me to change my beliefs to suit yours. Respect goes both ways.
If you want to impress me, especially in regards to women, then speak on the real injustices and tragedies that affect women in foreign countries that do not that the opportunity or means to have their voices heard.
Saudi Arabia, women can’t drive, no rights and must always be covered.
China and India, infantcide of baby girls.
Afghanistan, unequal education rights.
Democratic Republic of Congo, where rapes are brutal and women are left to die, or HIV infected and left to care for children alone.
Mali, where women can not escape the torture of genital mutilation.
Pakistan, in tribal areas where women are gang raped to pay for men’s crime.
Guatemala, the impoverished female underclass of Guatemala faces domestic violence, rape and the second-highest rate of HIV/AIDS after sub-Saharan Africa. An epidemic of gruesome unsolved murders has left hundreds of women dead, some of their bodies left with hate messages.
And that’s just a few examples.
So when women get together in AMERICA and whine they don’t have equal rights and march in their clean clothes, after eating a hearty breakfast, and it’s like a vacation away that they have paid for to get there…
This WOMAN does not support it.

[…] As one “viral” anti-march Facebook post put it: […]
Here’s an epic response to Brandi’s “letter”:
https://www.facebook.com/notes/sandy-rustin-fleischer/dear-brandi-/10158193248775650?comment_id=10158196294905650¬if_t=note_comment¬if_id=1485173960179474
By epic you mean a propaganda piece.
Myths about equal pay, the baby is not a human, Trump hates women nonsense. Obamacare is helping cure cancer? The Women’s March was about a ton of leftist, globalist topics including poverty and hunger?
See, Trump is the new villain with a “R” after his name and just like under President Bush the Code Pink, feminists and Michael Moore come out as though the last eights years have been wonderful and their voice has not been needed. How much did the Obama administration help resolve items on that list of complaints?
If it was all so wonderful with the Democrats then why is it THIS BAD?
Quoting Trump from 20 years ago is just nonsense since you didn’t march to get him off “Celebrity Apprentice?” Are you appalled by the sexism on television? In movies?
I hope the editors add the response here to see the post and the leftist dribble it truly is.
