As a woman, I always heard growing up that my generation would be the first to have unlimited possibilities. It was all a lie.

The hardest working, most responsible, and most productive people I have ever worked with were women. Men get away with sloppy work, tardiness, and inappropriate behavior, while suffering no consequences. As Van Jones said about Kamala Harris recently, ‘we have to be flawless, they get to be lawless.’

And what reward do we women get for working our asses off? Lower pay and a longer lifespan, making it much more likely that we will have to live in poverty.

This country disgusts me. My only child has lived in Germany for more than a decade, and though she visits frequently, she does not plan to live in the US ever again. I am so glad that she got out.
