Donald Trump is many things. And misogynist is one of the worst things he is. Hence, are we surprised that on the day when USA's 45th President stepped into the White House, which was on January 21, 2017, a humongous women's march was launched all over the world? The man known to have made disparaging remarks, gestures, actions and what not against the fairer sex brought this march, the participants of which were so many that they outnumbered the people present on the day of his inauguration, upon himself. Over one million women, accompanied by a few men, turned up in the US alone.
