Well, it’s President’s Day in these here United States. As we all know all too well, in our nation’s history there has never been a female president. Just 45 (almost entirely white) dudes. Heck, we’ve never even had a female vice president. And here we are again this year, with the likelihood of even having a female nominee still very much in the air. *deep endless sigh* As always, someone will say, “But gender shouldn’t matter, may the best person win.” Sure, of course. But if gender really doesn’t matter, why has the best person never been a woman in the 244-year history of our country? Yeah, really makes you think – that sexism is still very alive and very well in America.
p.s. Not that anyone asked, but I’ve decided I’m all in with Elizabeth Warren in the primaries Yes, yes – I will vote blue no matter who (though, for real, I will have to grit my damn teeth for some of them). But Liz, yeah, now there’s a president.
