I know that I said there is a political moratorium happening here until I say otherwise, but I decided to tell myself to fuck off, I’ll do as I please.
I’ll follow that immediately with doing whatever in the fuck I want.
So, in the first bit of good news in Womankind since around 1992, South Carolina and Nebraska abortion bans have failed. Now, if y’all were here with me when I first started keeping an eye on the reproductive health issue, you’ll remember I came to you and said, “South Carolina just passed the heartbeat bill, and this is going to be a fucking problem”.
Here’s how I know factually I did that: the voting female member of the SC State Senate, Katrina Shealy, is a disgusting piece of human waste who literally traded her vagina to fit in with the boys’ club. I told her exactly that in a column that was picked up by Fearless, She Wrote, and went the entirety of Medium, as a site.
I wasn’t sure if I was proud or horrified.
Turns out, I wasn’t the only one feeling that way, and Katrina Shealy thought someone actually gave two fucks about her being harassed for her terrible choices in life. Spoiler alert: nobody did.
As we watched that foot in the door scenario turn into this nightmare we have today, I kept thinking, “I should have stayed dogging that bitch”. I should have written everything down to the size of her too conservative Hanes Her Way briefs and let it make its’ rounds, because once that shit caught traction, look at what they’ve done to us.
I know that sometimes I can be mistaken for a little on the neurotic side.
Shut up.
If you think neurotic is the worst fucking thing I’ve been called, you would be right if you meant called to my face.
Tuh huh.
Yeah, okay, I may have a tendency to get a little wound up. I may lean a little to the dramatically flaired side of things. I’m not going to apologize for the fact that I live my life like this is actually a live action event. I mean, if I wasn’t meant to act like the shit is playing out in real time, someone should have told me during dress rehearsal.
I digress.
Now, Meghan loves to tell me any chance she gets that everyone has to vote. Every time, not just the presidential slots, but every single election. You may not think that it matters who is sorting the library books down at your rinky dink ass City Hall, but remember, they go from City Hall to State Senate before you even realize what happened.
That’s how we got to this supermajority situation that is causing us this fucking drama today. The one thing that any judicial or political group has agreed upon unanimously in the last 50 years?
Take a fucking guess. Okay, let’s check your bingo card:
All of your Supreme Court justices agree they shouldn’t be reined in. Nobody needs to pay attention to their insider trading, bought and sold rulings, and other miscellaneous fuckery that is now so fucking blatant, they get to vote on whether or not we’re allowed to ask questions about it.
This is why you vote. Because even if they’re appointed, someone appoints them. And you don’t want the someone appointing them to be a fucking crook, because then the appointees are crooks too.
And, for the record, there were a few Republican SC Senate members who crossed party lines for the ban to be lifted. Guess who didn’t?
I mean, Katrina Shealy, is there nothing you won’t do to get picked by these men, you spineless sack of saggy tits? I’ve honestly been opposed to calling other women out in their job duties for a long time, because I know what the pressure can feel like, but bitch you had a chance to do right by us, and you failed again.
You better believe I’m going to post this one to every fucking feminist policy discussion forum in every corner of the interwebs. I hope you finally get the dick you obviously need so badly. Hey, you know, they used to let you go and get one of those surgically attached…you could have fit right in. If only someone had stood up for that.
Believe it or not, the shit you do matters. You’re not the only woman trying to live a fucking life out here.
Bitch.

Atta girl - knowing when to tell yourself and our politicians to fuck off is a whole skill set. You slay that one too.
