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.

The Monday Post Vacation...

...has got to be one of the worst damn days EVER!!! Now that that is out of my system I have to say, there is something beautiful about being in the White Mountains with no service on my cell. No reason to check Twitter, no exposure to the rantings of a lunatic. It's nice. It's pleasant. Now I'm back to the connected world and I don't know that I like it all that much. I looked up actions and quotes from guilty people and it's so strange to see that Trump's behaviors and tweets match to a T. He's so guilty that he's trying everything to stay to afloat and it's just scary. I see my kids do it. I ask my son, "Did you draw on the wall with sharpie?" He goes, "No, it was my sister." I ask him, "Are you sure you didn't draw on the wall?" He says, "No, I said it was my sister!" Then he throws the Sharpie and proceeds to have a tantrum...he's three. Trump is doing all the same things, and more, that

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

Frustration

I know I'm not the only person feeling frustrated. I know that I'm not the minority when I fight against injustice and wrongness. I know that I have allies and because I know that, I keep on going and try to stay positive. So what causes most of my frustration? This guy: Ever since Donald Trump stumbled onto the scene, he's been a problem. He has one motivator, money. He also happens to be a racist and a misogynist. He also happens to be a serial liar and a serial cheater. Donald Trump is still living in the days when it was totally acceptable to: Use racial epithets in public Smack his secretary on the ass for a job well done Whistle at females under his employ Routinely telling females in his employ that they are "beautiful" Deny renting to minorities Assume all minorities are criminals Assume that a person has to look a certain way to be of a certain heritage Promote white men to the highest levels of authority Build a thicker glass ceil
