Maternity Leave

I hopped on Linkedin a little bit ago to look at job postings. One of the sidebars said "Generous Maternity Leave" and spoke about how most civilized nations offer at least 18 weeks of maternity leave.

One man commented:
"You libs love to spend other people's money. If you're going to have a kid save up for it or use vacation time. Why should I have to pay for your kid?"

This is the same exact demographic that says:

"PRO LIFE"

Why is the life of the female degraded to be less important than the life of the fetus???

I am a hard working female. I work full time in the office, I work full time at home, I go to school part time and still have to commute here and there. I'm not an anomaly. There are literally thousands of women like me across the country. Why should any man feel entitled to opine on maternity leave, women's reproductive rights, or women's rights in general? Newsflash, THEY SHOULDN'T!

We deserve generous maternity leave. If men could have babies, they wouldn't. The population of humans would have died out ages ago because men can't handle the same pain as women can. They also would be getting abortions at ATM's because, MEN.

I'm sorry to sound so full of misandry, but I am seriously fed up with this shit. Men constantly trying to keep their hold of control on females. We are not yours, you do not have to speak for us, in fact, we don't want you to. We want you to listen.

Comparison

I thought it might be interesting to compare the resume of Robert Mueller to that of Donald Trump. Care to take a peak? (I tried to keep it objective.)

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

As many of you may know I am a huge fan of Audible.com. I listen to books during my commute and because of Audible I have exposed myself to books that I would have had a hard time sitting down and reading, not only because of the lack of time I have, but because of the nature of the content. I tend to like fiction over non-fiction. My latest listen is a book called Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind . It's fascinating. A few chapters back the author spoke on gender differences and various theories about why patriarchal societies throughout history far outweigh matriarchal societies. Biologists and anthropologists can't seem to come to any type of logical conclusion for this. The author floated one out that I'm going to editorialize on. He said that women are "more cooperative" than men and have seemed to not really care about conquering new lands or being motivated by wanting power. Men, on the other hand, wanted power, they wanted to fight, they wanted ...

Long December

It's weird but I feel like November has been December for three weeks. I don't know why but my body keeps telling me that it's December and it has been. In fact, Thanksgiving feels like it happened weeks ago rather than just one week ago. Maybe it's the fact that I have little kids and they are getting ready for Christmas and are filled with excitement over the prospect of Santa Claus and presents. Or maybe it's because Thanksgiving came a little earlier than usual this year. Whatever it is, it's a weird feeling. The last time something like this happened to me was in October of 2014. After the month ended, I felt like it was still October until well into February of the following year. It truly makes no sense considering time is an invented human concept. Most of our ancient ancestors and nearly all of our animal friends don't give a hoot about time down to the second. Months aren't even real, it's just a thing we do. It feels like it's be...
