Fridays will be the new political day here at Dispatches from the Evening Shift. I may not make or keep friends. The direction will be from a feminist lens. Most of the time I will write about topics that are health care related.
But not today.
I have been thinking about the general election that was 19 days ago and the surprising/not surprising results.
A singular word keeps flashing in my mind.
It begins with a C but it is not the word you are thinking of.
The word is coward. Too many of the voters were cowards. They were too wrapped up in their misogyny and their disordered thinking to even conceive of voting for a woman. Much less a blank woman.
Too often they were caught up in the pretend world where a nearly 60-year-old woman is held hostage by her hormones.
Too often they were caught up in the pretend world of strong men world leaders who would make the poor little old woman cry. Insert eye roll here. As if Harris didn’t make the mortgage lenders and others that she prosecuted cry herself.
That or they were bamboozled by propaganda from foreign agents.
Oh, look an F word.
The F words of the day are feminist, friend, and foreign.
The S word of the day is sigh.
I require a tee shirt with the word coward on it.
Hell yes, I am still mad as hell.
Just wait until I write about what I consider a good holiday gift for those who voted with their wallets and their misogyny and their online “friends”.
No, it is not just that I am mad, it is that I am disappointed in us.
I have decided my tee shirt should read “Cowards! All of you.”
