I understand the purpose of the protest but question the value. Besides providing a sense of accomplishment to organizers and lots of 'feel good' by attendees, was anything achieved? 
Do you think that anyone's views were changed because of the protest marches? We're any commitments made by anyone in power? Were there any financial or political targets set so that results could be measured?
Or was it all just a big global Koom-By-Yah by the campfire with a group hug afterwards?
Either way, congrats to the women for getting all of those people arching in the same direction. Too bad they couldn't pull it together during the election.
