39. No. We're not.

Sep 2021

The last decade or so of my life is proof that we are not over this. I endured years of sexual harassment, and lost opportunities, all thanks to "Well, just look at how she looks/dresses." And when I reached my breaking point and pushed back, I lost work, lost my reputation, lost friends. After a years-long legal battle, I've gotten some of it back. But I'll never get it all back. And the person who started all of it, couldn't control his hormones, etc.? He got away with it. All of it. I lost plenty. He lost nothing. Because here in Murka, women are walking vaginas and succubi, and men - especially important ones - are bullet-proof, and free to do and say whatever the fuck they want without consequences.

When it comes to how women are treated in this country, we are better than the Taliban... maybe. Though, that is debatable, and I am not sure we'll be better than the Taliban much longer at the rate shit is going.

Now, yes, thanks to that fat fucking orange dwarf planet than inhabited the White House the last four years, things have gotten far worse on this front. No question. We've taken about 70 steps backwards in one mere term thanks to Fat Q*bert and his Qult. But, no, we weren't over that even before him. And in my darker days - which is 95% of them anymore - I no longer believe things will get better.
