It's so disheartening. We've been fighting for equality all of my lifetime and made some progress (though not enough)--and now are sliding back. 😔 I'm so worried for my granddaughter.

A lot scares me, and I keep thinking about an interaction I had a few years ago back on the birdsite. It was with a young woman from Kentucky. I posted something about date rape and got into it with her because her attitude was, "If she was raped, she asked for it". She also argued that women were born to be subservient. This is a real woman, not a troll. She's in her 20s. Solid Trump supporter. That interaction haunts me.

Oh yeah. I've run into that type. Religion has a lot to do with it.
