text: And I thought the gist of my remark was obvious. 
  
  Chastisement of women's movements tends, as in the present case, to elide their accomplishments and efforts. I took the question Mr. Manion posed, "Why praise a women's movement..." as an example of such elision. Hence my answer. 
  
  Some other items on women's agendas are: equity in work and wages, access to health care, societal support for the rearing and education of children, civil justice across ethnic and economic lines, and freedom from sexual insult and battery. 
  
  The women I know who attended the women's march, (the example of a "Women's Movement" offered for discussion) were animated by a wide range of concerns. An objective observer might guess that Trump's "locker-room talk," and subsequent victory,  taken as indicative of a widespread attitude of disrespectful liberty towards women and their persons, was the galvanic force that made the march as big as it was. The recent "#Me Too" uproar supports that view.
