reclaiming the cunt (part 6)

POTUS and his constituents seem to be taking America back through a time warp. With the collusion with Russia investigation, there appears to be a lot of effort in trying to make the investigation go away. If nothing unethical or illegal transpired, what is the harm letting it play out? Thou dost protest too much, me thinks.

Democratic Senator Kamala Harris was California's attorney general before her current position. She is one of the few women on the intelligence committee that is investigating the Russian matter and potential obstruction of justice. She asked probing questions and cuts off individuals who are not directly responding to her questions in their attempt at blabbering "dog and pony show" as she has a time limit allotted to her.

Despite one man's attempt to note that "hysteria" is a neutral term, as Kristen Powers points out, the term is generally used in regards to women, and Senator Harris' other colleague who also asked probing questions was not equally judged as hysterical. It has been used to delegitimize women for centuries (face of the girl (part 2)). History has gendered the term, and means "of the womb" in Latin. In many of his rants, POTUS could be construed as "hysterical" yet at most, it is described as rambling.

In what one considered "delicious irony," when a man shot up a charity baseball game earlier this week, one of the two heroes, who is ultimately responsible for taking the "kill shot" and saving the House Majority Whip, is a married lesbian. Crystal Griner is part of the security detail for Steve Scalise who is anti-marriage equality for homosexuals and a known white nationalist, once describing himself as "David Duke without the baggage". 

While POTUS and many of the leaders are trying to divide us and dehumanize the other, it becomes more evident who is part of the faction that is taking us back in time with "pussy grabbing" or "hysterical women" and those contributing to the evolution of humankind (pussy riots), leaving the others in the dust. These women represent heroes to our young and future generations as well as hope for tomorrow.
