Women's March shrinking

On Friday I was out with a meet up group. This one girl had just arrived asked bunch a couple the girls (and maybe me?) that I was with if they were going to the Woman's March the next morning. The girls had no intrest in going or any enthusiasm about the Women's March. I had keep myself from laughing. This was one of the smaller Marches in a red state mind you.

Women tend to do what's new/cool/hip/trendy. Two years ago, this was new, cool thing to do. Now its yesterday's news. Women often are less interested in the issues per se, and more interested in the buzz around a certain issue. Like that girl you know who has never been a sports fan, but when a local team (ANY team, ANY sport - basketball, football, baseball) makes a run at a championship, they get all "OH MY GOD - I AM SOOOOOO INTO THIS TEAM!!!" I also have seen women act that way over the Olympics. You call them up and it's "OH MY GOD I CAN'T TALK NOW!!! THE OLYMPICS ARE ON!!". A month later, they have little recollection of who won or why, and zero knowledge or interest in which athletes show promise for the next Olympics.
In short, for women, if its not plastered all over the TV or internet...it doesn't exist.

Some dumb pussy hat wearing chick (privileged white girl) on my Facebook posted a pic from the womens march of a sign that said "I'm tired of old white men" with the caption "best sign of the day!" The first thing that went through my mind was..... Your father must be so proud

Women like to be the center of attention, once they realize what they do or engage in is not popular anymore they move on. Unfortunately, the number 1 tool to garner attention is still well and thriving: social media.
Ultimately, we should care more about being effective than simply nobly intentioned. It is not enough to dream well: the true measure is what we achieve.

In an Orwellian / Animal Farm type context.
Seems some forms of anti-semitism are more 'kosher' than others...
