Well done, and by a man too! I thought I was going to get you on the spousal rape issue, but you mentioned it at the end, Thom. You are my "brother from another mother".

Can you imagine the loss we have suffered over the years by not supporting women's rights? All of their rights. How much potential has been lost in the world by keeping women down? We will never know how much feminine brilliance was squashed and dimmed by stupid men. We will never know what benefits for all of humanity have been lost. And maybe that has been the point all along, frightened little men and their frightened little minds always hungry for ALL the glory and control.

I wish I could say you are overreacting, but brother, I know you are not.

How many women know this history? One in ten? One in fifty? As recently as 1975, my Mom was shocked that PG&E wouldn't let her co-sign for my first utility account. Had to have Dad's signature. But then, if some critical mass of women knew, they probably would just assume that Ted Cruz was on their side, surely, anyhow. Besides, nobody they know is ever going to get raped, or have a miscarriage.... Come to think of it, PG&E clerk selected my husband's name to put on old account never before in his name 2011 when I was closing other defunct household accounts. (Only I was present with identification.) I didn't notice until later. He's dead, but my power bill is still in his name. Oh, well. Only female, after all.

The world would be better off if irreligious, unpatriotic, disease ridden, mentally ill, fascist, radical Republican, insurgent terrorists (I repeat myself) were mandated to abort their horned, fork-tailed fetuses spawned by Satan in their worst, wingiest wet dreams until their subhuman species goes extinct. Or is that a bit over the top? Naw.

I’d like to ask these people when their birthday is - and see how they wrangle an excuse when they are presented with the obvious follow up question.

You speak the truth and the truth is like a dystopian horror story! We need to fight with every tool at our disposal!
