Despite the misogynism that's still rampant in this country, we are making progress! Have to look on the bright side these days. Michiganders are seeing all the wonderful works of our Governor Gretchen Whitmer after the fraud, Rick Snyder poisoned the people of Flint and seeing that women get shit done! I still want to live long enough to witness the first female President.
