Women are judged so harshly. Why is that? Since the dawn of time women have been judged more harshly. We are allowed much less room to live than men.
Really, my question is:
Why did we ever let men get the upper hand?
Is it because they are physically stronger?
or
Is it because we bleed?
Perhaps, at the very dawn of time, a woman was having cramps, sat down for a minute,
and during that minute the man took her power.
Is it because we bear the children?
Could be. Let’s see. Our early women moved slower for 9 months, squatted, screamed their heads off, and then had little tots hanging on their breasts, that they had to drag around for several years.
Was it during that time that they lost their power?
For whatever the reason, we still don’t have it back.
Men have multiple sexual partners, that is to be expected. Women do it and they are sluts. It is our responsibility to keep our cooter under lock and key because it is expected and okay that they should try whatever means possible to get in there.
I can guarandamntee you there are people out there judging me for talking about sex as frequently as I do. Because I’m a woman. Oh, and a mother.
Oh, you didn’t enjoy it?
You did your job and kept it under lock and key but you were raped?
Well, there are those right at this very minute (and running for election today) that believe that if a woman is raped and gets pregnant, well, then it wasn’t rape because her body has the means to shut that down if she didn’t enjoy it.
People that think that not only think they are better than women are,
but Honeypie, they don’t like us at all.
But You know what?
I don’t like them either.
And Won’t be voting for Paul Ryan them today.

We still don’t make as much money as men do.
Why? Because they have the power and pay us less.
I’m getting pretty sick of it myself.
I’m mad today again at the judgement I feel for being a divorced woman.
I don’t see any of my brothers questioning Stanley’s judgement.
(as if he had any)
Why?
Because he is a man and isn’t expected to have any judgement?
NO.
It is because men aren’t held to the same moral code as women.
I’m pretty fucking sick of it myself.
I think I am going to start calling some people out.

I just typed a response but the internet ate it.
Shorter version:
Now that you and I have found our voices again, we will not be silenced ever again.
And any politician who thinks that he can legislate my body (and redefine rape – what the hell?!) will never get my vote.
You are powerful. I am powerful. Now, let’s change the world!
Watching the election holding my breath (and a drink) tonight.
When are you coming to Seattle?!
