I really need to stay off the web for a few days. @trailhugger @Gen0cide @PinkyYJ is this really how women feel??? I know(or at least think) not many around here do,but NC appears to be a lil more liberal than TN.
Lena Dunham: Don't Agonize, Organize
I can only speak for myself.... and I've tried to keep my mouth shut about the whole thing, but you have hit me on a chatty day sir. so. let the rant begin.
Being female is not a qualification for the resume of POTUS. Neither is being male, black, white, mixed, black haired, redhead or being religious in any manner (or atheist). As for the things Trump said while on mic (whether he knew it or not) in my female opinion was "nasty" but it was a one on one conversation and not meant for public consumption. I used to play roller derby and I have heard worse... actually.. I've probably said worse things to a few referees in my day. Does it mean I am a criminal? Or that I'm going to go around actually doing those things? Or that I am upholding rape culture? no. It just means I know what it's like to be human. I was a victim of sexual assault in high school, do I think the new president elect is a rapist that is set on taking my two little girls back into the dark ages? nope. Do I believe that he is a better choice than Hillary... probably not. BUT, it doesn't really matter because I could give a shit less who is up there on that pedestal. If you think the POTUS actually runs this country, imho - your lost. If you feel that anyone who has ran for or been elected to the position in the last 90 years or so is worth calling a role model. again, lost. The "2 party system" is broken. I don't believe it works in the first place, so no matter which way I voted, it wouldn't matter. I'm a firm believer in the only way to fix this is to burn it down and start over.... Give the decisions back to the states and the individuals...
At the current state of things, I pay the equivalent of a house payment in health insurance just to give the doctor half my check for a copay and still get a bill in the mail. Then, get a letter in the mail each month with a new medication listed that my children or I take that they are no longer going to cover. Whoever feels like they can fix that effed up system can have my vote. And even though both of them promised to do just that, I don't believe a word until I see it. Am I gonna cry about it and call out of work because I can't handle it? No. I'm going to teach my children how to behave, how to work hard, be compassionate, educate them to the best of my ability, try to be a good person, continue to get up at 3:45 every morning, drive 100 miles a day to and from work, do the best I can at a job that overworks and underpays me and do my best not to shoot stupid people on a daily basis. I apologize in advance if I offend anyone, but ef the idiots that have nothing better to do than skip school that mommy and daddy are paying for and take their brand new hybrid that mommy and daddy are paying for and go cry on national t.v. to show us how butt hurt they are. I'll be outside drinking a beer since I can't watch t.v. for the next few months...
