1. Oh boy! BC let me tell you an interesting (but kind of depressing) fun fact about unmarried women.
Unmarried women are disproportionately Dems
It becomes depressing bc, once women get married, they become more Rep
Why? They adopt their husband's party.
Yes. STILL. In 2020

2. BUT the good news is all that "activist judging" the GOP's Federalist Society revolution was designed to come take over the federal courts- ESP the Court of Last Resort, the Supreme Court, the reverse, made women (almost) legally equal to men. They were nowhere CLOSE to that
3. even well into the 80s!! Yes, that's right ladies. Here's a fun fact you need to go to grad school, climb the corporate ladder, work in a male-dominated industry like construction (or election twitter), or try to diversify a 75% male Congress to learn: Sexism is still an issue
4. And there are SOME men (cough cough Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump) that think the ladies have been given a little too much freedom, if you know what I mean. You know what- they would never tell you that. Hell, they'd probably never tell themselves that! But they'd
5. Look at things like Title IV and be like, "well that's govn't overreach and ain't it just a shame that we have to invalidate it bc its unconstitutional. And ain't that a shame that it means that gains for women in the workplace start to erode. But that's just the price of
6. freedom you see." It would be just like suspension of the Voting Rights Act. They would cite the Constitution and say, "well shucks, of COURSE, we support women's rights but we can't trample on the Constitution, now can we?!" And they want to do that ladies- let me tell you
7. BC guess what all that freedom has done to us ladies? It's made us not want to put up with men's bullshit. And since we don't HAVE to, like we used to be legally obligated to- guess what we do? We kick those louses to the curb! WE don't even marry the sons of bitches anymore!
8. As @rtraister points out in her excellent book All the Single Ladies- we stay single. And if we never marry- we never morph into our husband's stupid politics.
Oh yeah- pink wave is coming boys
What Rebecca so aptly calls "Incandescent Rage"
