“We’ve always been angry, we’ve just stopped being polite.”
“Men of quality, don’t fear equality.”
“I’m here for Aiia.”
These were just some of the signs held by enthusiastic protesters who descended onto Sydney’s Hyde Park for the 2019 Women’s March, with identical events happening all over the world.
This year, signs called out for the inter-sectional support of all women regardless of race, sexual orientation, religion, gender and class, with many signs highlighting gender-based violence, in light of the tragic murder of 21-year-old Aiia Maasarwe.
From the poignant and powerful, to the witty and inspiring, here are all the amazing signs from the Sydney Women’s March this year.

And yet, latest figures show that for women being bullied in the workplace, 68% of that bullying comes from other women. Women wanted equality back in the 60s when I joined the movement as a student radical. However, this is no longer their aim. These days, they want complete control.
Why don't we just admit that feminism is not about equality, it is about getting a better outcome for women.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that goal, but when you start trying to compare 2 groups of people you get these arguments which really don't help anyone.
I'd be quite happy to argue with many of those posters in the article as a lot of them make zero sense.
