Right after the 2018 midterms, in which Democrats won the US House, the Democrats in the House put up the Equality Act. Every House Democrat voted in favor of the Equality Act when it was passed.

Right now, every Democratic Senator backs the Equality Act and Biden has said it's his number one legislative priority, so, women of America, be prepared to lose your rights, your safety and your sports, maybe as early as next year, if the Democrats win the Senate and the Presidency.

I loathe Trump and the GOP, but I'm sitting this one out.

You can always vote for a 3rd party.

Remember politicians are narcissists, no vote is a wasted vote because they hate it so much when you vote for the other guy, even a small party, they will try to win you over.

A like mind on the use of the vote! People have either hand-waved away, or sneered at, this use, which could be one of the most effective ways for citizens to assert their views!

I'm in a state where my vote for president won't count.

I will vote on other issues, and vote against Democrats in local races, and encourage everyone I know to vote against the Democrats (but not vote for the GOP) because the Democrats from the local level up in this state are all Trans, Inc., cheerleaders and are incredibly rude when I call their offices to protest.

I honestly don't know what the Democrats are thinking. Sure they're getting huge amounts of money from Trans, Inc., but women make up the backbone of the Democratic party, and women make up more than 50% of the US.

Piss us off, Democrats, and once we find out about the Equality Act and all the local legislation you've passed to destroy women's rights, safety and sports, you're going to have a nation full of angry women, across party lines, to deal with.

I have always considered myself to be one of the most fortunate women in history to have been born in the US just past mid-century, into a time while I grew up: birth control (!!!! Huge !!!), financial, property, education, and employment rights, to name the biggies. Now, less than 50 years after I bemoaned the failure to ratify the true Equal Rights Amendment, I fear the future of women in the US to be dire. "Worse-than-Sharia", here we come.

You are so right, so we have to fight back.

There are groups formed like WoLF and FIST. WoLF is doing amazing work fighting in court.

There are groups forming like WHRC, which will specifically take on the Equality Act.

There is OVARIT, where we can gather and organize. Although, I do think that we need to also post here (SAIDIT) there and everywhere and in forums that have nothing to do with women's rights.

And then TALK. I talk (before the lockdown) to people in the airport and Uber drivers. I talk to cashiers, and waiters and my mechanic.

We cannot, cannot, back down. Our daughters lives depend on us.
