I like your shirt. I almost went to the Walz rally on Wednesday but decided I could not stand for hours outside and inside. A friend went and waited over 5 hours. He still didn't get inside the auditorium. He was in a waiting area outside. Go Kamala!!!
I saw a woman of color wearing a really glitzy one in the grocery store last week. I gave her a hug! We had our own little celebration in the isle. She was so happy she almost cried....me, too. This is what Kamala will bring to this Country.
Mothers are woman, and always have been. Amazing that women are looked down upon as not being smart enough to run this Country. Most kids in my class that were A students happened to be girls, and turned out to be bright women...yet boys got the good paying jobs out of high school and were encouraged to go to College, unlike their sisters. Go figure. We were pretty much encouraged to work for men, as in secretarial, housekeeping, maid service. Whatever men didn't want to do, basically. Also don't see any men who might want to get pregnant and carry a baby for 9 months while their body changes shape. They would not have the courage. Women are courageous creatures, don't you think? When my boss was out of town, I knew where everything was in his office. I filed it....I typed most of it for the files. Women can type and answer a phone, both at the same time. Why is it so hard to accept that women are bright, intelligent people, for the most part. However, they seem to fit just fine in dumb blond jokes. Come on guys. Let a women get this country in civil order. Remember how your mom could whip up a meal for you? Or change your sloppy room into a suite at the Ritz by the time you got home from school? Heads up. Do the right thing while you all have the chance. The Queen was a woman. She did a darn fine job for many many years. Vote Blue! Vote Love and decency for your Country!! Vote for your Mom. Show her you love and respect her for what she stands for...being a woman and bringing you into this World.
Good comment as usual, Kate. As an adult, I had to unlearn a lot of stuff I learned as a kid. Strangely enough, though, I really never had any gender issues to unlearn. I just never thought of girls and women as being somehow “lesser”. I've had many female bosses over the years, I couldn’t have cared less about that. Certainly I had personality conflicts with a few, but it was never because of their gender.
I worked in a very male High Tech Company, and was the only female manager in Colorado Springs in a management weekly meeting of 18. No one to network with, I just had to wing it on my own. Those were the days when if you asked for a raise, you were told to "get married" and you wouldn't have to worry. I fought the glass ceiling for many years. I just hear, now, in politics, that the opposing side does not believe a woman can handle the Presidency. It came up when Hillary ran. She was bombarded with lies and prapaganda that had a lot to do with her loss. I'm not trying to say it is a gender thing, for sure, for all....but when it is with some, it is nasty and a tough battle. Women were said to not get along at work, they fought like cats, etc. which was never true. We just wanted fair wages that came with the responsibilities and for our job titles. Please don't take this wrong, guys. It's the empty drums that make the most noise. That's my target in these comments. I fought for my jobs and tried to bring deserving women good raises that worked in my department so when my daughter began working, hopefully I had put a few cracks in that glass ceiling. I worked often with wonderful male coworkers. I'm not a man hater, by any means. Quite the contrair. Just looking for equality for all.

I have three Kamala shirts I wear on my daily walks. I’ll wear one every day until the election. Just doing my bit to help.

What a cool interaction, Kate. Thanks for sharing it with us.
A smile, a knowing and a hug can go a long way. I still smile when I think of her. She was so surprised, and that made me kind of sad, in a way.
We are all human with feelings after all. We need to share and show we care.

I’ve never understood why “equality for all” is such a difficult concept for some people to grasp.
