No, don't take that literally. I love being a female. I love doors being opened for me and the men around me doing the heavy lifting and all...even though I can and have and will continue to do so for myself. I love feminine things, like floaty dresses and short shorts and all.
But what embarrasses me today is the article I read by I would presume a college educated modern female on why she is "Vagina Voting". And I cannot believe in this day and age who we vote for should be decided by what body parts they have.
Vagina voting is something conjured out of thin air by those who purport to be scions of feminism. It means that you let your nether regions decide who to vote for, usually a female or a really nice looking male who is either gay or at least acts like some wuss masquerading in male clothing. I.e. Bill Clinton, Obama, Barney Frank, etc....someone who talks the manhater talk (well except Bill, who liked his women on their knees).
This particular author had a horrible painful experience as a woman...her period. Cough, Gasp. Choke. Pass me the Kotex. Yes, she ended up with a dumbass of a male doctor who, for her uterine fibroid tumors which caused an abnormally heavy flow, prescribed not a hysterectomy, but an IUD. Really? This lady agreed to try it and after more months of now constant flow, was in misery. Short story, her hubby apparently decided it was time to switch doctors, and she even admits she simply told him to make the appointment and make it with a female doctor. He did, uterus is now history as are the fibroids, hallelujah.
But her whole theme seems to be since men don;t bleed from their vagina once a month and have ruled the country for 200 years ( her math also needs work), that we need a female in there who knows what it's like to have a bad period. Good God Almighty Above.
Ok, I'm 47. College educated, well read, raised two sons and now a thirteen year old daughter and gasp, we both menstruate. We both wish once a month that Eve hadn't eaten the apple and Adam had had a set of balls and killed the snake....lol...But neither of us has ever wished to be a man, think men are irrelevant or anything else along those lines..we have different political viewpoints, but hey, we're both intelligent females.
The idea of voting for a female simply because you have periods, a vagina, a set of boobs, or whatever, is just abhorent . As is males voting for a male because well he doesn't PMS every 28 days.
We as a country need to get away from the train of thought that we have to vote for someone because of their gender, their race or ethnicity, their religion or lack of, and so on. Heaven help this country if we don;t stop now the tendency to vote for someone because it will make history or we don;t want to appear racist or sexist or whatever.
We need to vote with our BRAINS, not our genitalia. Not our emotions. Not because daddy voted that way or the union tells us to or "ohmygod he;s so hot". Sigh.
We need to question our candidates; we need to know exactly where they stand on the issues important to us...and if they don;t do the job, then hold their feet to the fire. Hold them accountable for their votes and their actions. Recall them. Vote them out.
This country needs strong leadership, whether it's male or female is completely irrelevant. And we as a people need to quit being distracted by freaking social issues. I don;t care if you are a transgendered mutant midget who is polka dotted.....If you obey the Constitution and uphold it and do your constitututional duty....whether as President or a member of Congress or the Supreme Court, you will have my vote.
