My religion, which I don't practice, says you can't work on the Sabbath, which is Saturday in our religion. Some are so caught up in that thinking, that they interpret "turning on the lights in one's house" as "working". Someone somewhere interpreted turning on lights, "as work." Therefore, people leave the lights on all day on Saturday. Or in some cases, those that believe this, pay someone to come into the house and turn the lights on and off. So you say, "How can anyone believe that?"..True believers believe. There is no logic. If they believe that God tells them, then they believe. The facts do not matter, if they believe God tells them, then they believe..
When you think about it, prejudice and hate can indeed be overcome. If women do not want this crap, they can as a group protest and vote for those candidates who oppose this. Proof: there was a candidate who had great thinking abilities, but came from a "mixed background." So, Obama won twice.
And women who stand up to this, and vote for honesty and fairness in their candidates, will vote for the Democratic Party. It isn't easy to stand up as we saw. But Ford stood up and it was clear who told the truth and who lied. It is also clear, who supported the liar, and who supported the truth teller. It really is up to women if they vote in huge numbers as they never voted before, we will see change...
..Oh, I live in a state where there was an election, and a disabled woman won over a man who lied about military service. Tammy Duckworth vs Mark Kirk. Tammy won by 800,000 votes. approx. 3,000,000 to 2,200,000. She is the current senator from Illinois.
