I’m just an angry person.

I had a moment today when I was thinking back to one of the worst things I’ve ever done. Of course, then I shake it off, open up Twitter and see this. Naturally, I respect the person who posted this. It was just a dumb thing to post but bound to happen in a patriarchy.



Allow me to make things worse.

Look, I love Bernie. I’ve been into Socialist Grandpa for a while. But Clinton being the first woman President is a big fucking deal, and we can’t dismiss that. This is sexism clear and simple. Want to know why? Women aren’t represented in government adequately. We’re 20% of Congress and 33% of the Supreme Court, and these are our high scores. We’re 50% of the population, and some states want my husband to give permission before I get a medical procedure. So sit the fuck down gentlemen. Also, these numbers get even worse when we start parsing out race and class. Also, I really hate the implied oppression hierarchy being invoked here.



Fuck all the things!
