What are you sick of [View all]

I m sick of the "stop gloating" over Clinton's win. Fuck that. She is the 1st woman to ever be a serious contender for the Presidency. All our lives we have seen men gloat over another man being a candidate or President. But let a woman accomplish that?

YOUR TONE. Fuck that shit.

There is a reason *some* men can't understand this. It is because men have been the only ones since this country was founded to be president. So a man winning the chance to be president, is ho-hum to them. No big deal. Men are used to women taking the back seat and only allowed to go so far. This is changing and *some* don't like it.

Stop gloating.

Woman were beaten

stop gloating

arrested

stop gloating

and forced fed for the right to vote.

stop gloating.

Suck it. Clinton's feeling were not a consideration when she lost to Obama. They got together and won. Why are Bernie's feelings a consideration? Seriously, why? He is the 1st losing candidate whose feeling matter. Isn't that some shit. He has whined, stomped his feet, blamed others ignored math...attributes always used to describe how women act. Are they afraid that hell has no fury like Bernie's scorn?
