    I cannot help but feel as we watch these proceedings that we are about to have a Senate vote on whether women have the right to exist.

        It’s not just women, it’s everyone who isn’t a white, highly privileged male. Nothing else seems to matter to them.

        I’m 71 yrs old. I have a daughter, two daughters-in-law, and a remarkable granddaughter whose future is like a shining star. I’m terrified for all of them. And by the way, #MeToo.

        Shame on America for squandering civic participation and waving these craven people through for decades. Now we have a boot on our necks and the opposite of progress in multiple ways from a lot of people who probably won’t even be alive ten years from now.

        We can exist, but they're taking us back to the status of property. Like pets.

        I'm so sad right now & frustrated. It feels as if no one is listening to us but know that people without power have nothing left to lose. THAT is who these politicians should be afraid of. As I like to say, "Call me a snowflake, fine. But know that winter is coming."

        Surely you have heard the men's joke? "Women, if they didn't have a pussy there would be a bounty in them" Have heard it too many times in Texas. How about you?

        Gilead is close :( 25 years of violent apocalyptic sci-fi says a lot IMO about the general health of a society.

        Nah. God says in Genesis "It isn't good for man to be alone" so he created woman as a help meet to man. The women just have be kindly but firmly reminded of their God-appointed role.

        They don't need to vote on it. We see and hear it, loud and clear, that we don't matter.

        When I look back at how hard Black women fought for Affirmative Action only to see it give white women minority status which allowed THEM to excel and then know they voted for Trump in huge numbers, I cannot help but blame them for what happened today.
