13. Oh my God,someone dared to mention that a female president

Jul 2016

would be a historical first the the U.S.? How dare they! I'm so fucking done with this argument that acknowledging this is somehow admitting that "you're only voting for her because she's a woman". Guess what? It matters and it matters because half the fucking country is female. Anyone who believes that we would also be just as willing to vote for Sarah Palin as we would for Hillary because she's a woman is a moron. It's as moronic as believing that black people would be just as willing to vote for Herman Cain as they were for Obama.

I get it,you'd like to diminish the fact that this is a big fucking deal,tough shit,this is a big fucking deal.
