Make America Great Again.
We know exactly what you meant when you branded yourself with this slogan. Its not-so-coded language for a time gone by. Your great America wasnt so great for women and minorities and gay people.
We wont go back.
We wont be relegated to the kitchen.
We wont be locked into a life where we have no choice over our bodies or whether we have babies.
We wont accept your patronizing response to sexual harassment.
We wont be silenced or demeaned any more.
We wont be ridiculed for our weight or judged by our appearance.
We wont be shamed for owning our sexuality.
We have come a long way since your days of when America was great.
We have busted our asses to get here and were not going back.
We are raising strong daughters who fight back against sexist school dress codes.
We are raising strong sons who arent afraid of their feelings and arent afraid of strong girls.
We are shutting down catcalling.
We are no longer letting ourselves be interrupted and drowned out in the board room.
We are locking arms with our sisters in solidarity when rapists are given a slap on the wrist.
We are shouting about every day sexism.
We are calling you out, Mr. Trump.
We will not go quietly into any good night. We are loud. We are in your face. And we dont put up with the kind of bullshit youre selling.
So maybe this isnt your time, Mr. Trump. Maybe your time has passed.
Maybe you would have been more suited to the early 1900s when women did not yet have the right to vote.
When marital rape was still legal.
Or the 1950s when women largely stayed home and produced children and McCarthyism and blacklisting were acceptable.
Or perhaps 1930s Germany would have been a better fit for you.
But now? Now is not your time.
Were moving forward. All of us, smart men and women, have had enough of the tired gender roles. Weve had enough of you and other weak, fearful men trying to stop progress.
We see you, Mr. Trump.
We see your sexism and your bigotry and your racism. We see right through you.
Remember. We can be bitches.
And bitches get shit done.
Bitches Vote.
See you on November 8, Mr. Trump.
