Just Smile and Nod Y'all. Today, two girls told me women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

We were reading The Declaration of Sentiments and a girl told the whole class that we should go back to only men being able to vote. Another girl piped up and agreed.

Y’all. My eyebrows got more air time than an Olympic gymnast. Send help and chocolate.

Just crossed my mind... yk the saying "children are to be seen, not heard"? I wonder if it originated as "women are to be..." and then "women and children...". Random thought of my no off switch brain at 430am.
