Put a damn woman in charge! (I mean, obviously not someone like Boebert or MTG, but you know what I mean 😉)

CSeydel "obviously not someone like Boebert or MTG…" hmm, almost like gender isn't the deciding criterion for a good leader. Reminds me of when the feminists said Sarah Palin‘s “greatest hypocrisy” was her pretense that she was a woman. 3w
ChaoticMissAdventures I love this song! Just so much sadness at how much better we would be if we had put a woman in charge. 3w

Taking a brief break from work to make some headway in my book club selection for this month. Book Club meets tomorrow. I just started reading this last night. Odds are not in my favor to finish before the meeting. Still going to put in my best effort. 😆

BookishFeminist This is usually how I read for book club. Start late, rush to finish. The nice thing about nonfiction though is you can participate easily without having read everything! 8y
Lola This is me. So very me. 🙃 8y
sprainedbrain I do the same thing... at least it's fresh in my mind for book club, right?! 😃 8y
Eyelit @BookishFeminist @Lola @sprainedbrain so glad to know I'm not alone! 😄 8y
