Not to mention that the economy controlled by white privileged men have made it impossible for most families to survive on one income if they wanted to. Women working outside the home is a necessity for most. But right-wing men and their accomplices would like women to forever be held under glass ceilings in low paid working conditions (and prevented from competing with entitled white men). Educating women with control over their bodies and their lives is anathema to them.
I'm 74 and just now figuring out what happened. I busted into 2 craft unions in Alaska in the 70s. Apparently my husband thought in the midst of that that I would calm the fuck down, stay home with a baby and wait on him hand and foot. I mean after watching me out on the grade managing civil construction projects until 3 days before the baby was born. The only reason I quit was because we closed out the project. "When are you going to start acting like a real woman?" I wrote a story called Why I Don't Wear Birkenstocks" about that time when I was at a Women in Transportation seminar in Juneau and had a horrendous encounter with a load of stupid women gathering for an ERA meeting. Where should I put it?
You got to the point I was angling toward; “The emotional woman/rational man paradigm is built on utter nonsense.” All of these rad-right purists are so full of shit they have to lie to themselves to maintain their status.
Live your life how you want, but young women: save yourself the trouble and never stop seeing the hypocrisy of these people. They always assume that those they serve will never come for them, but so many who thought they were too privileged to be hurt by Trump and conservatism generally have already been trampled (see: John Bolton, Mike Pence, Rudy Giuliani, etc.) Own your power in the way YOU want and not at the behest of anyone else.
Why does any woman vote for this? The GOP has masterfully influenced people to vote against their economic self interest for decades, but this?
