Women carry 2/3 of the national student loan debt so making it harder for us to go to school is part of the plan to make it harder for women to exist on their own outside of the umbrella of a man’s control. This in addition to:
- higher taxes
- higher COL
- banning abortion
- cuts to Medicaid

If I get another call from my previous wireless provider asking why I cancelled, I might tell them another reason is having to spend over 40 minutes (and counting) on hold to talk to a rep. Canadian providers don’t have enough competition…and it shows.

Hello! I’m a woman in an apocalyptic film. No matter the circumstances, my lipstick stays on, hair only gets tousled, and I have little smears of dirt on my face. And my legs and armpits remain completely hairless, no matter how long it’s been.
Hello. I am an expendable character in an action film. If you shoot me with a regular gun I will scream in pain before I die. But if you shoot me with a silencer I will - obligingly - just let out a quiet gasp.
Hello. I am a person in a film or television drama. I never use the toilet.
