It's been a while since I have 'blogged' I don't know, its probably cause I post my stuff on insta and facebook and its easier to pop out a photo and a caption than to sit and really type. But I really don't have a ton of time on my hands, Art is down for a nap, Charlotte is watching Ryans Toy Review and slowly slurping her organic cereal with inorganic milk until she decides she wants me to be Toby and play trains with her.
I wanted to take a few minutes to really weigh in on this whole Women's Rights thing, and how it has turned from Pro Choice to an anti Trump rally joke.
I'm seeing all these ladies stomping around with pink hats on shaped like cat ears, something I'd buy my two year old...but if you know Charlotte, she wouldn't even wear that,
that shouldn't be your symbol of woman's rights. a fucking pink hat with cat ears...really?
I'm seeing posters with a female uterus blown up on it marching down along the road to the capital and people are waving and cheering like no one has ever seen one before...really? a uterus? that's your symbol of women's rights?
All of a sudden there are words like 'pussy' flying around like its supposed to hurt somebody..again, saying pussy is going to be your word of the day to fight for women's rights?
I get it. I get that women have historically been treated like the lesser of two beings when standing next to a man. I get that we are considered bitches when we try to compete on that corporate ladder, but men are considered motivated. I think some of you don't realize i worked with males all my life before Muyly Miller Company. my last job was the worst, I worked with a guy who had little mans disease cause he can't find a girl to love him cause he lets his ego get in the way of just being a good guy. I worked with a sales guy who forged signatures so he could get ahead on his commissions, I worked with a guy who would hate office members every other week, so dramatic right? I mean, you put all the dicks in one room and they are literally thinking about measuring how large their penises are while bashing the other office members that they can't communicate correctly with them. I am not even joking.
My old boss was considered a woman hater, unbeknownst to him, and people always wondered why I worked for him.
Let me tell you why I enjoyed working for him. It's cause I made it a point to let him know, by my actions and my completed tasks that I could handle whatever he dished out, without complaining and whining and whipping my i am woman hear more roar sign out like "look at me, i don't need those menial tasks cause I am above that"
What I am saying is, all the women out there, i get you want to march in solidarity..but now that day is done. now what? go back to work, toot your horn that you were on TV with a pink hat on carrying a poster that had some writing on it? Now what? are you going to pout the whole week at work and wonder why you are doing the job you are doing while the men are moving on with their lives?
Your anti trump movement gave him a platform to artificially support the rights of women, you gave him a bigger voice now cause you know what..you enabled it. you have enabled him to be on the news even more, you have enabled him to be on our social media feeds, even more, you have made it so that CNN and FOX, NPR and NBC , can all use you and exploit you as a source of news to talk about trump.
while you are at work, just do your work, and complete above and beyond all the tasks you need to do to get ahead, or to get that award. work your ass off to land that lead, work your ass off to make sure you are home in time to play with your kids and show your kids that not only can you work, work hard, but you can balance that with your family life and love on those kids like none other.
On the weekends, do a service project and show your kids that not only do you work, and love them , but you love others. you love others enough to donate your time to help a stranger, or donate items to charity.
You show all of us that you are more than just a media hungry feminist boasting about women's rights when really all you want to do is make it in life and be seen as an equal. I promise you- I never had problems with my boss cause i worked hard to show him i was just as capable. and now I'm running my own magazine and he's shaking his head in disbelief that i paid that much attention.
You control you, you control how people treat you, respect you, view you. you do it only by you. you aren't working any harder or any lesser than men, we all have different ways and views on what success is. Work to fulfill your pride and your families needs. I've met so many women C level leaders that had it way more worse than some of us and manage to make way more than their male counterparts.
I am not telling you to get off your platform, but sometimes you need to think about your actions in how you move forward..that's how it helps everyone move forward. lead by example, and then empower the next woman, and the next and the next...quit being a catty whiny victimized employee (you know you are if you complain more than you work) and just do your work to move ahead where you want to be in life. We live in the United States of America. We have so much more freedoms than some and you should take advantage of what you have and be grateful for where you live. Let time run its course with this new potus, and respect the country you live in.
that is all. back to mommyhood and a crying baby.
