We need a nice story in this hellscape of a week, and the good news is we have one! Your president Barry Bamz O'Sexxxy was campaigning for known woman Hillary Clinton Tuesday night in Ohio, and he decided to get really, really real about some of the struggles Hillary has endured on her way (hopefully) to the top, and why it's taken so long for us to even contemplate having a lady president. Obama? He GETS feminism.
Ahhh, the ever-present gym slob...by the random sweat deposits and loaded bar desertion shall ye know them. :PMy new gym has similar signs and I'm still not sure how I feel about them - ours say something along the lines of; "If you find yourself too weak to unload your equipment, please come to the front desk and one of the girls will do it for you".I know it's in jest and I smirked a bit, but at the same time FUQ those assholes, they're grown men (it's always men) who shouldn't need a woman to clean up after them, dammit.My old gym had a Wall of Shame - they took stills of serial offenders from the CCTV and posted them on a whiteboard for the amusement of other patrons, it worked incredibly well. :P
I mentioned this months ago but I think it is worth revisiting.
True story: I got the annual health insurance visit from a visiting nurse. A woman, a woman of color, and did I mention a nurse, thus an educated woman. By that time, Trump was probably Republican candidate and Hillary was almost certainly the Democratic candidate.
And she expressed doubts about the ability of a woman to be the President of the United States because woman. No shit, that was the reason. I hauled out the examples of Germany, Finland and even the UK. (I didn't like Thatcher but, to give her some credit, at least she knew how to run a meeting and got her way.)
I think I convinced her or at least got her to thinking.
But, honestly, ghaaaaaaa! When a total, white, feral male pig of my generation and stripe gets it, what does it mean when I have to use all my powers of argument to convince a woman to vote against Trump?
As one with man-bits, I concur. Some people have a sense of entitlement because they have boy-bits. But having boy-bits brings an expectation along with it: to be "manly." Those who are comfortable in their skin don't have to brag or bully.
And probably had a weak-willed mother who catered to their father, but if they looked closer, their mother ran the house with an iron fist, finances, major decisions, etc.
The only time I experienced a woman in a distinctly superior position to me was when, at the whimsy of my medical insurance company, they reassigned me to a female PCP.
I didn't have the heart to reject her for that reason alone and, honestly, she was as good as any other doctor PCP I've had, though the annual prostate check required me to really rethink my prejudices.
Anyhow, I don't think Obama is wrong here. The idea of a woman head of state is still new and threatening in this country and when you add the white-supremacist crowd, the flat-out misogynists and the clinging-to-office-at-all-costs Republicans, it makes for a yooge, tremendous voting block.
Remember when we had that War on Drugs, and now you can't get drugs anymore? I really wish it hadn't been so successful! I could sure use some marijuana right now!
Ya been chugging GOP kool-aid, Bobby twice.Causes you to be audibly fulla mierda. .

i suspect you have an intimate understanding of failure.
however, miss hillz is not a failure.
Becase they have such small noses, being non-jews? I AM JEWISH AND CAN MAKE THIS JOKE
Хорошая попытка, товарищ!

Done and done, Barry Bamz!

Not in my generation, no. (I'm an old.)

Oh, I learned many years ago never to rely on Spellcheck. It's stupid as hell - only knows what you tell it.
This guy has a better accuracy record than 538 and thinks they're crazy with their odds. He has the math to back it up, too.
Hmm. Not a fan of the pop-Freud view of things, myself.
Or maybe he wants to see up your skirt.

Let's give Carly the respect she deserves. Not everyone has tanked two major tech companies.
