It was all going so well.

Millions of women around the world proudly marching to protest about President Donald Trump.

‘End the hate!’ screamed the signs. ‘Love Trumps hate!’

They wore pink pussy hats, and the mood was one of celebration; a joyous gathering of the female gender to make a stand against a hateful man.

This, the March organizers constantly reminded us, was a PEACEFUL protest to prove that women don’t need VIOLENCE to make their point.

Then came Madonna, in her black pussy hat. And she just kept going lower

Then came Madonna, once the fresh, exciting Material Girl, now the bitter, cynical, ageing Vinegar Girl who can always be relied upon to sour anything she touches.

‘Welcome to the revolution of love!’ she shrieked as she took the stage in Washington.

She wore a black pussy hat and a top saying, ‘Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.’ (A quote first coined 30 years ago by feminist writer Marie Shear.)

‘Good did not win this election, but good will win in the end!’ she bellowed. ‘And to our detractors that insist this March will never add up to anything, F**K YOU.’

The crowd whooped, she smirked delightedly, and then repeated her audience-thrilling line: ‘F**K YOU!’

As they whooped even louder, she went even lower.

‘Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I’m outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot of blowing up the White House.’

Sorry, what?

Madonna announced she had thought ' an awful lot' about blow up the White House, newly occupied by Donald Trump. You or I would certainly be jailed if we said such a thing

Let me get this absolutely straight: Madonna, a multi-millionaire pop star with the means to finance any of her many warped desires, has thought ‘an awful lot’ about bombing the home of the President of the United States?

It’s a very serious criminal offence to make a bomb threat, let alone one to the life of the President.

If you, or I, were to say that in a public forum, then we would be almost certainly be arrested, charged and jailed.

Don’t believe me? Try tweeting a bomb threat or saying it as you board a plane. Even if you’re ‘joking’, you’ll be prosecuted.

The FBI is investigating the incident, but Madonna will get away with it. She always does.

How, though, does this disgusting comment sit with the theme of the Women’s March?

How does threatening to assassinate Donald Trump, and all his White House staff for that matter, play into the narrative of ‘End the hate!’ or ‘Love Trumps hate!’

It doesn’t.

In fact, it’s the complete opposite message. One that tells the world’s women the only way to stop a man you don’t agree with is by killing them.

In one short, disgraceful sentence, Madonna wrecked the Women’s March because she lifted the lid on the more repellent side of feminism: the vile, crude, man-hating, violent, nasty side.

Before I go further, let me self-identity as a feminist.

I love women and believe passionately in gender equality.

I support all women’s rights and have proven this point many times as an employer and promoter of women in the workplace.

But I can’t abide the feminazis, the radical, extreme feminists like Madonna.

Nor can I abide the likes of Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski when they hijack feminism to justify posting stupid, offensive bird-flipping topless selfies.

Real feminism is not about murdering men you don’t like or stripping off to make money and pretending it’s about liberating women. Theresa May is a true empowered woman

Real feminism is not about murdering men you don’t like or stripping off to make money and pretending it’s about liberating women.

It’s about striving to be so good at what you do that your gender is irrelevant, then making sure you are rewarded in the same way as a man. That, surely, is true equality?

As new British Prime Minister Theresa May said yesterday when she was asked what anti-sexism message she would have for President Trump when they meet on Friday: ‘When I sit down, I think the biggest statement that will be made about the role of women is that I will be there as a female prime minister, talking directly to him about the interests we share.’

Halle-bloody-lujah!

THAT is a strong, empowered woman.

Theresa May didn’t need to march for her rights as a woman; she let her ability do the talking by marching up the ladder of her profession so capably that she’s now the most powerful person in Britain.

As a result, she has put herself in a position to make the very decisions that will protect and further women’s rights.

Compare and contrast with what’s just happened in America.

Hillary Clinton lost the election because she wasn’t a very good candidate. Trump fought a more successful campaign.

There are many reasons why Hillary was so inept but one of them came from the mouth of one of her biggest supporters, Madeleine Albright.

Albright, too, had been Secretary of State.

During a speech to a group of young women in the primary stage of the US election two years ago, she urged them to vote Hillary by saying: ‘Just remember, there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.’

There are many reasons why Hillary was an inept candidate but one came from the mouth of Madeleine Albright, who urged women to vote Hillary because, 'there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.’ This didn’t just annoy men, it annoyed women. And if the sexual morals of a president are so important, where were the marches over Bill Clinton?

What a ridiculous, offensive and ultimately self-defeating thing to say.

All Albright had to say, and should have said, was this: ‘I became secretary of state because I was the best candidate, not because I’m a woman. Hillary Clinton should be president because she’s the best candidate, not because she’s a woman.’

Instead, she confirmed many people’s suspicions that the main reason to vote Hillary was because she was a woman and would therefore be the first female president. A sentiment Hillary enthusiastically played up to by appearing on stage at the Democratic Convention to the backdrop of a glass ceiling breaking.

This didn’t just annoy men, it annoyed women.

Trump got 53% of the white female vote. In other words, significantly more white women in America voted for a man instead of the white woman candidate.

I wonder how many of the women marching in America yesterday actually bothered to even vote for Hillary?

It’s a bit late to stop Trump now he’s won. The time to protest was at the ballot box.

No, this March wasn’t about women’s rights.

At its core, it was about Trump-hating and resentment that he won and Hillary lost.

It’s perfectly democratic to march and protest. But it’s not so perfectly democratic to march and protest against the result of a free, democratic election just because the man won.

There’s also blatant hypocrisy at play too. If the sexual morals of a president are so important, where were the marches over Bill Clinton’s treatment of a young intern Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office?

And when it comes to the high moral bar, why was Madonna allowed to offer ‘free blowjobs to anyone who votes Hillary’ without censure from the sisterhood?

Or, if coarse sexual language is so taboo, to tell President Trump to ‘suck a d**k’ on Saturday?

Madonna wasn’t the only celebrity to embarrass herself - Ashley Judd read a poem branding Trump the Devil and Hitler, mocking his hair and complexion, and cracking a crude ‘wet dreams infused with your own dreams’ incest joke about him and Ivanka

Madonna wasn’t the only celebrity to embarrass herself during the March.

Actress Ashley Judd read out a young poet’s attack on Trump, branding him the Devil and Hitler, mocking his hair and complexion, and cracking a crude ‘wet dreams infused with your own dreams’ incest joke about him and his daughter Ivanka.

Trump may deserve such ridicule for his inappropriate remarks about women. But where’s the feminism in mocking a hard-working, talented young mother-of-three in this way, just because her father became President?

‘I’m a nasty woman,’ chanted Judd at the end of her address.

Yep, you can say that again.

This March turned from a defense of Women’s Rights into a celebration of Women’s Wrongs - a procession of high profile female celebrities just spewing bile.

When I tweeted my criticism of it, I myself was promptly bombarded by with the most appalling foul-mouthed abuse and death threats by women from all over the world.

I’m big enough, and as they gleefully pointed out, ugly enough, to handle it.

But this wasn’t feminism.

This was nasty women being nasty, whipped into a man-hating frenzy by some very nasty women on a stage.

Love was Trumped by hate and bomb threats.

Ladies, I love you. But if you let the nasty women win, you lose.
