How can you display your dissatisfaction about the quality of life, when nobody's listening to you? Grab a sister, a protest sign and go out in the streets! That's exactly what the women in Washington, D.C. did to show their disapproval with current politics in their anti-Trump protest. While the Women's March was initially centered around Washington, it soon became a record-breaking worldwide protest to promote gender equality, LGBTQ rights and equal rights for all human beings.
There were 408 marches reported in the U.S. and 168 in other countries. It is estimated that the march drew around 500,000 to D.C. alone, and 2.9 million people in the U.S. Actually, there were so many people protesting with their snarky yet funny posters, that stores were running out of cardboard.
"The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new government on their first day in office, and to the world that women's equality is human equality," says their official website. The message was loud and clear as you can see from the funny signs below.

i crying because i so tired of see people with such retrogade ideas , i come from a country where women grow and told that you had to please the man that is in your life (father, brother and in the end husband) because that is your responsibility as a " woman " i always thought that it was only in my country then i move to usa and i see that in this country discrimination and hate towards women is even worst.
My favorite sign from the women's march! My favorite photos are all of the aerial shots of the crowds- all of the pink hats make the people look like beautiful gardens!
If this is just the same whit go back a few centuries and you'll realise how different s**t is, starting with the fact that you won't be able to vote
Seeing so many older women at these marches is both thrilling and sad at the same time. It's great that they still go out and support all of us; I love that very much. But it's also sad that they STILL have to fight the very same fight to this very day.
I'm with you Cat Meow! They're probably thinking that I fought for voting rights and reproductive decision rights in my days and now I am still fighting to keep those same rights. WTF!!!!

Seattle? Fantastic March, 3.7 miles long or about a couple hundred thousand people.
This is so true in my case, ahahah i hate large crowds but i went to downtown DC to protest.
Being an introvert this is one damn critical cause worth being out for it
I wonder if this is why there were so many tapestries created... by women... over the centuries.
The sign behind is pretty stupid honestly. "If our oceans die"? What the f**k. I mean I understand the problem with global warming, but the only things we're hurting are ourselves, other animals are used to world changes, and adapt to it or die. Humans, on the other hand, are so overpopulated that global warming is a real danger
Load More Replies...A few people can't read the sign or understand the backstory, so here's an explanation. Sir Ian McKellen (aka Gandolf or Magneto) is carrying a sign with Captain Jean Luc Picard (i.e. Patrick Stewart) of the Star Trek Next Generation doing a facepalm, which is a rather famous meme. In real life, Ian and Patrick are best of friends. This "no words" sign is a brilliantly simple message and also brings his best friend with him during the march. I hope this helps.
HAHA!!! People never ever ever ever give up. If there is a WILL there will be a WAY!!!!
Why do you feel bad for it? It obviously is in a loving lesbian family. Are against lgbt or something?
Load More Replies...So...you're ready for American women to go back to the days of unsafe reproductive services? No coverage for birth control? All on the line
Load More Replies...The inequality some people must face on a day to day basis
Load More Replies...Don't be afraid of being different... be afraid of being the same as everyone else!
It's perfect, because it doesn't insult anyone, but it's still very powerful
Thank you! What amazing young woman you are and we need people just like you!
Not to be mean but whathappened during that time, was it the nazis or what.
That kid has absolutely no idea what he's prostesting. This is ridiculous
This is from the Charlotte march! I was about 15 behind her. Thought the sign was brilliant.
Yes walls to keep illegal drug smugglers from going in and illegal immigrants too lol
"4 years old" president!!! I would definitely vote for you young lady.
I think sometimes Trump would actually need a friend like this for his own sake....
Trump doesn't have friends, only future witnesses against him.
Load More Replies...Some members in the Republican Party in congress want to do away with birth control entirely, or make it to expensive for people to afford
Load More Replies...He's married to Megan Mullaly and has had that beard FOREVER.
Load More Replies...Warsaw is still there. I swear, I see it through my window right now. You can come back if US under Trump is that bad...
Bored Panda just hides comments that have been downvoted. It's the readers of the comments who choose what gets hidden.
Load More Replies...Although he did not do the right thing, the affair was entirely consensual
Load More Replies...I love resourceful people! I`d do the same but I`d use a badminton rocket instead!:)
We British are famous for our understatements - this is one seriously pissed-off woman - watch out!!
If your system failed to put the right person in place of a President, then may be you should change something about it...Dont know- may be start an Orange Revolution, like your previous government initiated in other countries. For God's Sake! Who chose that dumbass voting system? LMAO
This sign is actually really important for people getting ahead of theirselves and arguing before doing their research
Positive thinking! If you can conceive and believe it, you can achieve it!
Commenting this won't get you far either. But yet here we are
Load More Replies...it's actually amazing how people are more united than ever now . it's beautiful :)
There were concurrent pro-life rallys in some cities... they crossed paths in some places.
its funny how the feminist signs look beautiful and the homophobic signs look trashy
The women's march isn't just for women, it's for equality and everyones civil rights. Those guys are included in "everyone."
Load More Replies...Awwww how cute to see the new generation already at work to defend its rights! Go young lady, you can change the world.
I am crying seeing this beautiful girls and her sign, is just amazing, look at that smile! She is so proud of herself, I am proud of you MADDIE!!!!!
Cute sign, but just who does the mother who clearly helped with this think said girls weren't good?
its so sad that i sign like this had to be made, but unfortunately some people are still think like they're living in the dark ages.
Trump uses the same logical fallacies as Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda. Stop the next Hitler before he becomes a murderer.
Load More Replies...Protested women's rights in the 70's , yet here I am in 2017' marching again. I will not be silence, I am women, hear me roar.
This is completely out of context but I really like the left person's socks :) but I also like the woman with the sign's shirt ;)
Because he wants to take away our reproductive rights, duh. Besides "cervix" is not a bad word.
Load More Replies...But will we continue to under his "leadership"? The future looks so doubtful in that regard.
Load More Replies...Many men forget this. Without women, none of you men would even be around. And without woman, none of you would be getting any sex either (so stuff your abstinence-only sex ed classes up your a*s)
Šu Ma is right on that . Without women there would be no men. And without men there would be no women. Try to deny it. It is nothing against feminism, it is pure equality.
Load More Replies...Charlotte Church's great sign. Voice of an angel, roar of a lion!
look at your comments, their filled with hate.
Load More Replies...Yes. I like this this one the best. It's badass and gets all the points across.
Lol at down voting anything to do with keeping your clothes on. Okay, you may think you're demigods in your heads, but not everyone wants to see your bits.
One day! We don't need just any woman. We want a WISE woman. Spend your years growing in wisdom.
Trump has long since burned any right to be treated with kindness. Human rights, yes. But not kindness.
Load More Replies...I think it maybe an accidental mark. It doesn't really look like an intentional apostrophe.
Load More Replies...*me trying to upvote all this stuff but i just cramped my finger and i am now dying
It sounds like you support her and that makes me really happy. Thank you.
Load More Replies...Possibly to do with being grabbed on the "pussy"?
Load More Replies...ladies if a male ever tells you to make him a sandwich, tell him to go chop some lumber
You "feel sorry for her" but you don't feel humane enough to avoid calling her a "tit model". Wow, that's empathy for ya...
Load More Replies...Not everyone feels comfortable putting themselves in a position of responsibility for this disaster, especially when they voted their conscience and have tried to LIVE their conscience daily. Yes, "we" the collective, have f****d up, but not all individuals deserve to be shamed.
Load More Replies...Who's had to pixel out the word "pussy?" Far more offensive things going on by the sons of Trump!
Because of the sexually insecure media and FCC, probably.
Load More Replies...I hate that "you fight/run like a girl" is always used as an insult... :/ You go, girl!
Once they brought shirts my old elementary school that said "Oui je cours comme une fille, essaie de me suivre!" (Yeah I run like a girl, try and keep up!)
Load More Replies...Put a picture of his daughter on it. Apparently he wouldn't be opposed to f**k her if she wasn't his daughter (or so he says for the last part).
I bet trump is against that because he was not planned at all
They are indeed. You know how scary women's nipples are to America...
Load More Replies...Mine was even mentioned by the Washington Post! :D Me-with-br...a5f8fd.jpg
What makes/made America great?! We do not all agree on everything. We speak and act to our values and beliefs because we believe in them. When people feel differently than we do, we often give their perspective a chance. If we still disagree, we do not attack or lie. If someone is in danger, we let the proper authorities have a chance and keep people safe! We accept that we have differences, learn from each other, and plan to go forward in respect. We are not always successful with our plans. When things do not work out as we had hoped, we reflect. Reflection does not involve name calling, yelling, destruction of property, or force. America is in trouble. We need our freedoms more than ever. We need a land of practiced temperament, respect for differences, and unyielding support for the basic needs of our fellow men and women. We need hope.
A long-winded comment that said a lot of things but somehow managed to convey nothing.
Load More Replies...So they'd rather have a compulsive liar, married to a philanderer, and who was financed by the Saudi's, well known for "womens" rights. I just don't get it? They espouse tolerance, but won't tolerate. Yeah right. I see the same behaviour in toddlers. Judge a man by his actions, not his words.
Ok let's judge his actions... He owned a school which defrauded people, he claims he did nothing wrong, yet settles the lawsuit for 25 million. He has been accused of sexual assault and he has bragged about committing sexual assault. His wife is an immigrant who was working illegally in this country until marrying Trump. He is openly racist and helped fuel the bogus birther movement. He has an amazingly thin skin and is quick tempered to a fault. He has filed bankruptcy 4 times, he inherited his wealth and actually did a horrible job managing it. Now let's judge his actions in the first few days in office. He has started the ball rolling on repealing the ACA with no replacement in mind, he has stopped aid to poor countries that need our help, and vowed to re-start the Dakota Access Pipeline and Keystone. His end goal will be to privatize schools, healthcare and just about every program poor Americans rely on. All this leaves me with very little confidence in the President.
Load More Replies...It obviously doesn't represent me either since I'm a guy but it kind of does as well. It just depends on the subject of the #WomensMarch.

As a 23 year old woman, I am ashamed of my generation. Safety pins and pointless marches. We had the age of enlightenment, the age of reason, and now we are in the age of hyper-offended emotionalism.
Here goes the all feminists hate men idea again.There is a difference between being offended by every little thing you think is directed toward you,or "hyper-offended", and understanding the reasoning behind why someone is treating you a certain way.yes, according to law men and women are supposed to have equal rights, but that doesn't mean people always obey the law, bias and stereotypes can always cloud a persons reasoning if they allow it.saying everyone is treated equally is like saying stereotypes and hatred don't exist and that people don't act on them.Also not many people would shun you for your opinion, as many don't really understand what problems women in particular face in our society and culture, they just blame it on misandry I suppose.
