'A gentle reminder'

Thanks to Jeff Wiggins for sending us this.

To all my conservative female friends mocking and complaining about the Women’s March on Washington and around the world, a gentle reminder:

Every time you go to the voting booth to choose your candidate—Republican or Democrat—you are doing so because of women who marched.

Every time you refill birth control so that you may plan and decided the best time for your family to have children (or how many), you are doing so because of women who marched.

Every time you open a checking account or credit card, buy property, or make an independent financial decision, you are doing so because of women who marched.

The things you have today are a product of protest, social unrest, activism and resistance. Even the most anti-feminist 21st century woman still lives in the shadows of female activists who were willing to fight for generations they would never know.
