Some well off women have moaned about how well off women are marching though they may not be the ones suffering, and though women in other countries may have it far worse.
The woman with enough money and privilege will always be able to get birth control or an abortion. She doesn't have to worry about having higher rates for insurance - she can afford it.
If she's white, she need not worry about being locked up for little cause or killed though unarmed. We can decry the ill treatment of women in other societies. That does not mean we should ignore sexual assault, sexual harassment, misogyny, and unequal wages or access to employment or promotion in this country.
No, many of the privileged women who march may not have to worry so much about many of those things, but there are many other women in this country who do, and women and men can march to push for greater equity for all members of our society, regardless whether they are personally affected.
