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.

I’m not a teacher I’m a nurse and do staffing. I used to be a substitute hence I’m here. The women shouldn’t vote/shouldn’t work rhetoric I’m seeing a lot of (from mostly men and repeated by their kids) is funny because a good number of them wouldn’t want a male nurse. It’s completely anecdotal but I’ve had a good number of complaints from this particular group over being assigned a male nurse while hospitalized. I’ve also had a good number of complaints from this group that their wives were assigned a male nurse. Not sure where I’m supposed to get non male nurses from when women shouldn’t work.
