  1. I am sick of white men telling women what to do with our bodies. About a week ago, four of the most entitled men and one woman, revoked a woman’s constitutional right to control her own body. For all of human history, white men have pretty much dictated how everyone did everything. I am so over it, there’s not even a good word to describe the feeling.
  2. I am f’ing over hearing the same nonsense from white women. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett thinks it’s no big deal for women to give their babies up for adoption.

Look at groups like the Concerned Women of America. I am sick of sanctimonious, Christian women telling anyone how to do anything.
  3. I am over men telling women what to wear. For some reason, I keep seeing posts directed at women telling them what to wear. Some have nonsense like, “Women, leave something to the imagination! We don’t want to see…” Who said we give a rat’s ass about what you want to see? As a straight woman, sure, I hope I am attractive to men but…
