Quick Note

One last quick note and then I'm done with this issue. I rarely, if ever, disagree with Barack Obama, but because he's a man running for the Presidency of the United States with his own daughters, I can excuse his comment. Please stop saying, "Now girls and women know that they can accomplish anything." Some of us come from families that taught us that from the day we were born, some of us never questioned it in relation to gender. We know it might be harder for a woman to succeed in this country, but being a white woman is in no way comparable to the true minority experience. Until women realize that there are a large number of our own gender fucking us all by playing the same old game, set up by old white men, it is them who might make my daughter second guess what she can do. Dividing issues up among women and men doesn't work. They are the reason why we are the way we are, and we are the reason why they are the way that they are. It's a balance, but everyone has to play fair. Just as reverse racism might be understandable, it is in no way acceptable or productive to overall equality. It is the same for women's issues and reverse sexism. Stop trying to convince us that before Hillary Clinton came along there was no hope for a woman President, I never bought any of that for a second, and would consider the argument she made it harder for the next woman candidate. Only time will tell. I grew up in the Thatcher era, I've never had any doubt a woman can do ANYTHING a man can do, that's the only good thing that came from the piece of shit woman. I believe in integrated sports, or at the very least the, the same rules for both sexes, I believe that we should never lower the bar or the playing field for the opposite sex. We're different and the same, each with individual strengths and weaknesses, and the sooner we stop letting marketing and old ideas separate us, the sooner we can actually move toward TOTAL equality.
