There’s not enough of it.
I need more.
With fewer things to do.
Craving time.

DEAR HILLARY: HOW VERY DARE YOU!
Let me be as candid and transparent as possible: I was a very strong supporter of Bernie Sanders, and 
until the past four weeks, held out great hope that he would become our next President. Over the course of the past month, I have had to do a great deal of reflecting and ask myself where does this seemingly irrational antipathy for Hillary Clinton come from? Why have I participated in it?
After doing some research and looking hard at systemic misogyny, I have had to confront myself with the truth that I bought into a narrative about Hillary Clinton that has been produced, packaged, and perpetuated by mostly the GOP with the help of many democrats and independents.
This narrative is a 30-year-old vilification of a woman who is bright, independent, wealthy, and powerful — a woman who asks for what she wants and needs. How very dare you, Ms. Clinton? How dare you have a mind of your own? How dare you be bright and powerful? How dare you ask for what you want and need? Don’t you know these rights are still exclusively for white, Christian, cisgender*, able-bodied, heterosexual men?
* cis·gen·der
sisˈjendər/
adjective
Denoting or relating to a person whose self-identity conforms with the gender that corresponds to their biological sex; not transgender.
Example: “This newfound attention to the plight of black trans folks by primarily cisgender allies is timely and necessary”
(I had to look up the word. I figured if I didn’t know what it meant, possibly you didn’t either, so I added a definition.)
For the rest of these extremely well-written post, see: Dear Hillary: How Very Dare You!
