Why are there only men on my tv talking like they know what's best for women?

Like they know what we’re feeling and what we need? Like our lives are subject to the whims of their decisions? I wish the women in this country would wake the fuck up and take the country back from those who have sought to oppress and control us, to those who want to dictate what our lives can and should be.
Why in the hell can’t people in this country mind their own damn business? I’m railing against their stupidity because it is a danger to us all.
The 2024 front runner for the Republican party is an actual traitor. In the days of our founders, he would have been executed for his crimes. Today he’s a media darling reppin’ the worst ppl satin can muster to get back into the government. republicans support Russian troops raping babies. Why isn’t that in an ad? Genocide is happening there. Putin will kill every Ukrainian he can until he is killed.

I don’t know what alternative universe I’m living in, but I’m fucking over it and fighting like a mother to kick these vile soulless pricks out of our government so they can never be in a position to hurt and kill and make the least of us suffer more.

Defeat the russia party. PLEASE vote. A lot of states are already voting.

On Fox blathering about her being a weaker vessel and needing her man to make her more of a woman. If she's that limited then stay out of my government and go home to squirt out another baby in the middle of church.

Yes I know I'm being absolutely horrid. I'm just so sick of this crap.

My bumper sticker says "Don't tread on me" like the Gadson flag, but the snake is in the shape of a uterus.

I think republiQans don't know what it means, because none of them knows what a uterus looks like. But I've gotten a few thumbs ups on it since I put it on.

Women have an opportunity to make a fundamental change in our government, or not.

They need to decide whether they want to be a strong, determined force for the future, or permanently accept a subservient role as reproductive slaves.
I'm counting on the former.

The sad fact is that a MAJORITY of white women voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020. Let's hope they redeem themselves in 2022. On the other hand, Black women and women from other minority groups have been OVERWHELMINGLY voting for progressive candidates. Get it together white ladies!

You are correct that white men (and I am one) are by far the biggest supporters of the insurrectionist traitors. But it is sad that white women continue to support the MAGA Republicans with exit polls showing them doing so by 5%. White guys actually benefit from the racist and sexist philosophy espoused by the Republicans so in a way it is logical for them to support the Rs. (Yes, I know global warming is an equal opportunity disaster along with all the other crap coming by keeping these traitors in power, but there are some short term benes for white guys.) In the case of white women they have agreed to accept second-class status with their gender, as long as the Republican Party puts them first with race and keeps them safe.

The closest comparison I can make is the white Southerners who fought and died in the Civil War. Slave owners, like white men supporting the Republicans today, reaped real benefits from slavery. In a really messed up way risking death to maintain slavery had some logic. If they had won their lives would have continued to be enhanced by owning slaves. Non slave owning whites (like white women who support the Republicans today) had much less to gain and a hell of a lot more to lose from a successful Confederate victory. Continued slavery meant that any tradesman or farmer was doomed to compete with slave labor in the marketplace. White women who support Republicans are in a similar situation. If they win, they actually lose.

Let them get stunned and run over by the overwhelming women's vote!

I saw on one of the shows this morning that they are expecting the 2022 election numbers to surpass 2018.

When it clears Ballot Board, it will be posted on my tracker. Our vote by mail ballots are scanned on Election Day and those results are added to early voting totals for the first voting totals of the evening.

I am waiting to see if my across the street neighbors voted. They vote Blue too, but often forget to vote.

Because it’s not new. I’m an old lady and it has gotten progressively worse. We fight the same fucking battles over and over because half of our gender refuses to think for themselves. It’s ridiculous on its face that they think they should lord dominion over us.
