fish don't acknowledge the water that drowns the non-fish, right?

There's been outright sexism, but also something more subtle. Like expectations; expecting women to act in a certain way, defer to men, nod politely at the "mansplaining." Above all, don't make waves; don't challenge, don't argue.

I don't care if some man accuses me of "voting with my vagina," or voting for Hillary just because she's a woman, or any of the other false accusations that have been hurled at all of us women. None of them are true, but I don't feel I have to explain myself to some condescending man.

No more! Never, never again!

And I'm done with their apologists, male and female.
