37. No. It ain't dead. Not by a long shot.

We had a chance to deliver a near-mortal wound to it last November. And technically we did, because SHE got three million more votes. And they still managed to steal it for the male.

I LOVE this OP. But the monster still lives. Still walks the earth. Still breathes and thrives and kills and maims and causes chaos and wreckage and injustice and pain and suffering. We're a long way from killing the monster.

I'm always surprised that even some of the most well-meaning men are surprised. Squinch Nov 2017 #1
