The Facebook post has earned multiple reactions, although laughter is the most common response, as seen on Wylie’s post.
The Women’s March, Democrats, and Identity Politics
The Women’s March is no stranger to criticism. Many Americans regard them as a very liberal organization which only supports left-leaning women. Various leaders of the Women’s March have also faced accusations of ties to anti-Semitism.
Democrats as a whole are very familiar with accusations of identity politics. Conservatives and others within the right-wing maintain that Democrats are more concerned about the groups which people fall into, as opposed to the individuals themselves. However, the left has pushed back against these accusations; according to many liberals and progressives, their goals are equality and the fair treatment of all.
Over the past weekend, conservatives have weighed in with their thoughts behind the cancellation of the California Women’s March. Many claimed that the reason behind the axing of the march is silly. Others questioned whether or not Wylie’s announcement served as a dig towards white women. Some of the commentaries are visible on various social media platforms, such as Twitter.
