Oh my good grief. Emotional! I will show you emotional...



I will not bore you with my Emily Pankhurst rant, but trust me I have one that I save for young women who work for me. It starts with you will vote if you work for me dammit, and let me tell you why... LOL... Why the fuck would this idiot think if they took away her right to vote she would be allowed a gun? The sisterhood is lacking me thinks. Education needs to be restored asap.

We vote in our best interests, oh what a surprise that is not the patriarchy that is entrenched in the republican party. Oh my!

Handmaids anyone?



On the bright side - one more day...

1. Emotional again? The strongest emotion is anger and it's been on full display throughout.

Decisions are made based on the emotion of anger and vindictiveness. I’d rather have decisions made based on the emotion of caring and love

I'd love to see how she'd like actually losing all personal rights. (while, of course, the rest of us retain ours)

3. I have no trouble with her opting not to vote.

If she thinks it's a bad idea because she's ruled by her emotions.

I have lost the ability to even respond to that kind of thinking. Really?

When I think patriarchy I rarely think of kindness and understanding, just the need to let me have anything I ever needed removed forever and replaced with their needs.

6. The dysfunctional patriarchy is alive and well in this wacko's head!

Women began fighting for equality in the early 1800s. Like hell we're going back. This airhead does not know HERstory.

Go back to school, little girl!

8. Hey, I've reached the point that maybe having a Y chromosome should be a disqualifier

for running for office. Yeah, there are the Lauren Boeberts but put them a female dominated Senate or House and things would sort themselves out.

scene in The Handmaid's Tale...

I practically shuddered!
(the whole book/show premise is shuddering)

I can remember when Bill Clinton was elected - callers on Limblarg's show were calling up about taking women's right to vote away.

11. Kaitlan, please tell us what you could do before Obama took office that you can't do now.

What rights did you lose during those eight years? Please be specific.

The fact that you are currently speaking out without government interference, can go to any church you please, and that you can still own all the guns you want negate your premise.

How is she real?? I’ve seen/read a lot of bad crap the couple weeks, and this one is definitely up there. Ugh.

18. She seems very emotional about her gun fetish

Perhaps she's too emotional to have guns in the first place.

A Democrat gets elected and gun manufacturers start their fear-mongering campaign, using a handmaiden supposedly willing to give up her right to vote, that's a little odd
