4. Sad but true.

Black men got the vote in 1870. Women did not get the vote until 1920. What a country.

Every major western democracy has had at least one female head of state.

Like so many other problems, you can trace this directly to Christianity. Not Christianity, per se, because Jesus empowered women. But a very large faction of people in the cult side of American Christianity are strongly racist (white Jesus and all) and ultra misogynist. And not coincidentally, these people seem to be OK with their pastors, preachers, and priests screwing young girls and molesting young boys.

I hope I am not talking about a majority of Americans, but it is easily 40 million that fit that profile. In a country with elections coming down to a difference of under 100,000 votes, we just can't afford to give away so many votes on the basis of gender. It is disgusting and shameful, but Mrs. Obama is right.

I hope to live long enough to see our first female President, but not until after we have beaten the MAGA cancer.
