WTF, people?
Posted by Shannon C. on March 13th, 2008 filed in random, rantsIn what universe is the following political argument even considered valid?
“Well, if we elect Hillary Clinton, and she gets on the rag, then what will happen?”
This got said in my Women’s Studies class last night. I think the phrase, “You’ve got to be shitting me” passed my lips, especially when my professor actually took the argument seriously and said, “Well, she’s menopausal, so it’s not like that’s ever going to happen.”
That’s not the fucking point. We would never ever *ever* say that about a male candidate. I mean, srsly! Did we invade Iraq because Dubya got morning wood one day and Laura didn’t do anything about it? Is that the real reason for most of the wars the U.S. has gotten involved in? Because that seems equally as likely as Hillary, if elected, getting on the rag and doing something to fuck up the nation because of that fact.

OMG! This is a womens studies class!!! Did a man say this? Cuz if it was…he should be stoned in the public square, which is as archaic as his thinking and so the punishment fits, I think. Good golly! I thought we were more enlightened than this!

The larger question here is, Who the FREAK says on the rag?
I would have spewed vitriol. Thrown an eraser at his head. And stormed out with great dramatic effect. Fools.
Signed LB
Clearly on the rag.

I kept meaning to reply to these comments, but shiny things distracted me. The person who is never allowed to spout off her opinions about anything ever was a woman. I don’t know if she just listens too much to the men around her or if she drank the wrong kool-aid, but seriously… a woman said that.
