My Senator, Claire McCaskill, helpfully tells me to shut up. Yeah, it's comedy! I get it. I just can't wait for hilarious bit where someone tells women to shut up.
As one of 20 women in the Senate, she wants more women to run for office, she said for Monday's Late Show, "but equally important is encouraging more men to sometimes just shut the hell up." She quickly clarified, sort of, telling the world's men: "It's not that women don't value your thoughts, it's just that we don't value all of them."What topics should men just shut up about? Don't worry: McCaskill had a list. An incomplete catalog includes "what women do with their bodies," "who the next James Bond should be," Star Wars, selfies, pantsuits, millennials, "Star Wars again," all art, carbs, and turkey brining. But she did throw in a little consolation prize for men: "If you can control yourselves and hold back from further expressing your opinions on any of these topics, we'll let you keep weighing in on marijuana legalization -- but that's a huge, big 'if.'"
I guess I shouldn't give this nonsense more attention, but whatever. I'm tired of men being constantly ridiculed.
