Use time off, and if you don't have it, then you have covid. Find a way. I'm sure many women will be there and if I felt I reasonably good be, I'd want to be too. But we absolutely NEED our MAGA men showing up in unprecedented numbers, and (imo) armed. It's not time to sit on the sidelines. I only gave my reason for not going as a barometer to say "do I really have a good enough reason not to be there?"

When northern tribes invaded Ancient Rome, the Romans were shocked by how fierce their women were. They would follow the men to battle and make a line at the back of the battlefield. If a tribesman broke ranks and retreated from the battlefield, the women would cut him down.

I have 7 kids and will be there .....

HeavenlyTrumpets [S] 7 points ago +14 / -7

I assume you probably also have someone who will be watching them and won't have 7 kids with you at the protest. Maybe I shouldn't assume that, but I personally wouldn't be comfortable bringing young kids to this type of thing.

Ha yea.. they staying home... if there was another monster in the oven I’d consider my potions... Comment wasn’t meant as an insult rather a cry for sympathy.

Also, I'm not the one downvoting you. If you're going to DC I doubt you're the type who would care anyway, but just to make that known.

Swifty2727 8 points ago +8 / -0

Thanks.. yea ... down votes up votes side votes whichever... I don’t have social media nor do I care what people think of me or what I say... the Donald is my only itch I scratch but definitely not here for popularity contest. All the best to you, the wife and kids... will drink a beer for you while there am sure you’ll be there in pede spirit.

You are making the right call on this

I'm also lady pede - but WITHOUT kids, so I will be there. If I had young kids I would sit this one out too. This will be my first event in DC - I've only ever been to car rallies and Trump campaign rallies.

silentnoobxd 12 points ago +12 / -0

The longest long game we play is that we actually have lots of kids. What you're doing is important, and is the only reason we have the numbers of people we do today. You stay home and take care.

I'm a maga man with an 8 yr old son and a 5 year old son and a 2 year old daughter. I will be in DC in January armed. I can't let my three grow up in this.

Nothing wrong with you sitting this out. I support your decision to stay.

Angela84 6 points ago +6 / -0

Yep I'll have a 6 week old then plus the two older kids. No cross country journey for us. If you at all can please consider it.

Yep. Got a 3, 1, and one in the oven. Will continue supporting digitally and financially as those are absolutely doable. Doing my best to recruit patriots to TDW as well.

Yes, I want to see millions of strong MAGA men. You have all been waiting for the bat signal. This is it! It's your duty to attend.

Women can help by organising travel arrangements, packing clothes and food, and making sure their men leave with a full belly.

THIS, had a big sit down with the wife this afternoon, she didn't want me to go, she wanted me to stay home with her and our 4 month son. I explained to her that wars aren't fought by childless men, and I can't sit back and watch my great grandparents/uncles that died in WWII to roll in their graves with what our country has come too, My 4 years of army service was a joke and I needed to show up to DC on the 6th. to actually serve my country, She's on board now.

I’m pregnant as well, and will be sitting this one out too. We’ve been to rallies, protests, and Trump’s inauguration. I’m really disappointed because if the situation was different I would be there in a heartbeat.

In a similar boat. I have a homeschool son. We don't feel safe taking him. We fight when we can, but may have to miss this ☹️

I support trump as much as anybody but I cannot go because of work. Most of us have to request off in advance do not speak down to us. We will support locally.

rooftoptendie 2 points ago +4 / -2

have you already had 'rona? If not, now's your chance! If you have a temp taker out front of work, even better, you can run several miles and then wipe the sweat off really quick before you go in, you will look clammy and feverish and your temp will test high, they'll send you straight back home!!! FREEDOM!!!!

Not everyone can afford to take off work. Pathetic you'd shame people who legit can't, literally cannot financially afford to miss a day right now at my job.

Sure if you want to pay my dads medical bills, my rent, car bill and insurance

I barely live paycheck to paycheck, and even then I'm sometimes missing days where I eat.

Its my fault im in this slump, but to act like there's no excuse and then shame someone for it is pathetic in my opinion.

In the event an actual war started, I'd be willing to dive in but I'm not fucking me over financially where the smallest thing could put me on the streets to see a rally that may or may not need me there.

Also people o. This site are super generous and have already said they would help anyone who needed it. The problem isn’t money. Be honest with yourself.

Left-Austin-4-freedo 1 point ago +4 / -3

If you can go then go, I'm not and if anyone has anything to say about it face to face i won't hesitate to break a jaw either.

Seen several of this threads today and its starting to piss me off. As if there's no possible reason to miss a rally that may not even need me, if there's a civil war that happens im ready to risk my life for that.

I just think its moronic and borderline Privelaged to assume theres no possible reason to miss this rally.

I said I'm a woman who's pregnant as an emphasis on the inherent differences between women and men, and a point that men who just have to work, need to be there. It's nothing to do with being "treated special."
