We are breaking old and decayed white men's rules. They don't like our 'smart mouth'. They want us to sit down and shut up. Regulate our mouths, our minds and are bodies. We crossed that bridge a long time ago. We aren't going back and will continue moving forward.
Don't for one minute think that we are not coming for you.
We are mothers we are teachers, we are beautiful, beautiful creatures.

(336 posts)I look forward to a woman president and a lot more women in congress. We men have held those
jobs from the beginning and I would like to say we did a great job but I cant. It could be women wont do a great job either, however I sure do want to see them get chance to be great in politics.
We need a change.
Welcome to DU, Handler.

Should never have been an issue.

(111,332 posts)which is why I skedaddled up to Boston as soon as I had an old car and a few bucks.
I have no idea what these rabbity men are afraid of, I just knew they were a little less afraid in Boston, they'd decamped to the suburbs long before I got there.
I'm old and invisible, so I don't much consider it these days.
The only thing more fragile than white men are white southern men.

Well, I'm sure there's a whole lot that happened today of which I'm unaware, but anything specific?

(19,204 posts)It's been that way since January 20th, and Nancy Pelosi has been second in line to the president from 2007- 2011 and again from 2019 onward.
What precipitated this outburst today? Some republican must have said something stupid......wait......they always say something stupid, but something particularly heinous today? This tweet just came out of the blue?

(4,552 posts)Men accepted a black president. They hated the idea of Hillary and I do not think it was Hillary they hated.
I think it is all about control of woman. Men do not accept equality with their mates and will not accept a female president.
I have liberal male friends who will not and did not vote for a woman. Not only did they not vote for Hillary they did vote for Trump! I don't understand it but that is my two cents.
Black men got the vote in 1870.
50 years later women got the vote in 1920.
Let that stew a while, 50 years! Women you have only had the vote for 100 years.
Fact is women need to turn up the heat. Me, I don't think women are as far along as they think they are. Or maybe I am just a dumb ass and women know exactly how far they have come.
VOTE and make us understand.

(83,870 posts)Sorry, they aren't liberal. One thing to not vote for Hillary and another to vote for a self proclaimed pussy grabber. The man is a predator and a rapist. No one can call themselves a liberal and vote that way. No One!
VOTE and make us understand.
Now you are just making me angry. "Women just need to turn up the heat" ???? We know how far we have come with blood sweat and tears. We have been raped, stalked, beaten and murdered for our right to our bodies and our vote. It is not just strangers that have done this it is our fathers, husbands and lovers as well. We are fully aware how far we have come and how much further we have to go.
Have you EVER heard what the GOP SAYS ABOUT RAPE?

We are in agreement. I am pushing and will continue to push. If it makes you mad good!
Fewer than one in five young women would call themselves a feminist, polling in the UK and US suggests. BBC
Your movement has lost a generation. So don't get angry at a supporter look at the shinny glass thing in the loo and reflect on how to change this trend.
Lecturing me about rape is insulting and makes ME angry.

(4,552 posts)The NRA is very successful. Their messaging system is spot on. They get truck loads of money. They have huge membership and huge government influence.
Perhaps the feminist movement should look closely at how the NRA is able to glorify killing machines. How do they sell that crazy? If they can sell crazy then?
I do not support the NRA!
