If I hear about a "man cave" one more time I will lose it. The whole fucking world is one giant man cave or a "he-man woman haters club". Climate Change or a meteor will kill us all before the sexes are ever treated equally by all societies.

I respect every individual. REGARDLESS.

People that think women are inferior or people of color are somehow less "human" ..

With so much in play, I sense a real opportunity for women to show what they can do, and have done, to make a difference.

"uppity women thinking they're people" ñ'est-ce pas?
