What made you smile today?

[cinnamongrrl]

An awesome hike with my dogs before work.

It was cloudy at first, but the wind shifted and we had an AMAZING view at the top.

AND I found out the name of the mountain after over a year of hiking it. Mt Ferguson.

Chai, a new friend, a letter in the mail, tv time with my butch, and my favorite Chinese.

Waking up to the City of Orlando, catching a cop killer and a child murderer. Markeith Loyd was caught less than 15 miles from the crime scene; was arrested by the Police and the Chief used, Master Sargeant Debra Clayton's cuffs to walk him into jail. He also killed his pregnant ex girlfriend and ran another officer over who was looking for him. Rest In Peace: Sade Dixon, Master Sgt Debra Clayton and Officer First Class Lewis.

Watching Donald Trump being sworn in as the new President.

Getting to go shopping for some work clothes.

Plans for this evening.

Being grateful for still having my ex in my life, we mutually agreed that the love is still there. Which gives me some hope.

Not only a feminist but a radical feminist who has watched liberal feminism, intersectional feminism, and other forms of so called feminism dilute and derail the very meaning and essence of feminism.

I prefer a Trump who is perfectly clear on his misogyny. It is much easier to deal with and fight against.

I loath the likes of Obama who talked a good game and stabbed women in the back repeatedly. If you dont know what Obama did or refused to do to help women, research it.

The war on women has been going on for 10 years now. Who was POTUS for 8 of those 10 years? Trump? Nope.

Where has the female outrage been for the last 10 years? In the last 10 years we have seen astronomical increases in domestic violence and women killed by their husbands and boyfriends. We have seen the highest rates of rape and sexual assault, the fewest cases being prosecuted, and are back to putting the victims on trial. Women are losing financially at epic proportions. Our reproductive rights have been striped bare.

Women are still complaining about not receiving equal pay for equal work. The equal pay act was passed in 1963 - 54 years ago. Never enforced but it is on the books. Are you outraged over this?

Young women today do not even know what the ERA is all about. Ask one. The most common answer is era is a laundry detergent.

Young women today THINK they have equality. That's pretty freakin sad.

Feminism is something you live 24/7 365 days a year. Not just when it is convenient. Not just when your preferred candidate loses. Not just for those aspects that speak to you as an individual.

Thus far, the candidacy and election of Trump has increased the number of women who think they are feminists or who are at least toying with real feminism. THAT is a wonderful thing. Statistics and human behavior tells us this new found feminism will be short lived but maybe, just maybe it will awaken a few cuz this country needs real 24/7 feminists who understand what they are up against in the scheme of things.

[BullDog]

Well Kobi that is one of the most bizarre posts I have ever read. Yeah let's advance feminism by voting in a man who brags of sexual assault, goes into a teen beauty pageant to ogle naked teenage girls, is working to take away the Violence of Women's Act, repeal Roe v. Wade and really I could go on for days and days and days with more. Unreal.

Ok Kobi.

This is not logical and is almost irrational to me.

I hope that it turns out the way that you believe that it will. Your position is one that I have not read or seen anywhere else in the feminist, humanist or radical feminist universe.

I fear for my own feminist sisters and brothers that will lose their healthcare; I fear for the time when conservatives are on the Supreme Court and abortion becomes even more restrictive or is no longer an option for women to chose; the profoundly incompetent cabinet appointees are in place; I fear for having a president that feels entitled to grab the genitals of any woman he chooses because he is rich, etc.

Feminist?

No, not my brand.

Maybe it is only your brand now.

We can agree to disagree on this.

You smiled because he was inaugurated?

Me? I cried.

I've always imagined you had a good even a great mind but lately I cannot understand your logic or why you would rather vote for a sexual predator then a woman who just made a mistake about emails. However, you have lots of company with the bulk of low information voters who prefer Trump to a rational, more sane choice to lead this country. Luckily, sooner or later we (meaning those of us who love this country and the female sex) will prevail. You won't have long to glory in the misogyny. But thank you for revealing the inner workings of your mind! Your logic isn't clever. It's misguided. A normal rational person would not sacrifice a country, a race, womanhood, to make a point. Kobi, we are not puppets, we do not admire predation. We do not require you or Trump to think for us and try to manage what we believe.

Hitler was pretty clear about his intentions too. How do you think that worked out?

Which is it? 10 years or 54 years?

The war against women is not something that just turned up one day. It's been something that we've been chipping at and tolling against since the dark ages and through the decades. There's been good progress made the last 8 years towards this. Where have you been?

Trump wants to drag us back there, probably by the hair on our heads. He even has Conan the Barbarian heading his old show.

To be somewhat thread compliant, there are no smiles here this morning but I did get a good chuckle at my coworker posting to her ex online last night. Used his own racist, sexist words against him. Way to go, girl.
