It's got to really chap some misogynist asses that the two most important people in government...

...are women.

Please note the word choice: "Important."

Nancy D'Alesandro Pelosi

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

These are the two people in America's government making the toughest stand between us and tyranny.

Remember how there was a slight hope, between the election of 2008 and the inauguration of Barack Obama, that the nastier and more overt forms of American racism might be abandoned, and we might actually begin to have the important discussions about race and history that would free us from those underlying chains?

Remember what we got?

Prepare for misogyny like you've never seen it before, people. Even during Hillary Rodham Clinton's candidacy for President.

Misogynistic shit, meet right-wing media fan.

wearily,
Bright

in two countries. Groping and violence included.

The only thing that would make it worse is if they brought back witch hanging and burnings.

But I get your point and appreciate it.

In a way the coup-counters, the Darwinian predators, the dick-bangers can't even begin to imagine.
