I mean, in the past week or so we've had the Cornell gang rape case (not much of a shocker to any woman who's been unlucky enough to attend a college with frat houses; the most surprising thing was Jane Doe having the courage to go after the asshats with civil litigation), the Trump administration's decision to emulate the Taliban by live streaming a public execution (I am moderately surprised Trump isn't pushing for holding said execution at Northwest Stadium as half time entertainment for a Washington Commanders game), Trump's ambassador to Greece being so blatant with her grifting (she sent text messages detailing her extortion attempts? Seriously? We all knew Guilfoyle wasn't real smart -- she was briefly engaged to Cokey McSniffles [aka Don jr] -- but whatever gets used as lip filler must have a side effect of rotting brain cells), and the list keeps growing.
*Trump cheering while 3 male MAGAts attempt to beat the crap out of a woman who had the audacity to wear an anti-pedophile tee-shirt, which kind of paints a clear picture of what a bunch of kiddy diddlers the MAGAts are. In what has to be a classic MAGAt move, one of the dudes involved bragged about assaulting the woman in a Facebook post. If we sane folk didn't know already that MAGAts live in an alternate reality, going public and bragging about attacking a woman for wearing a shirt that he didn't like would make it clear. What sane person is going to brag publicly about assaulting anyone?
*Trump's new press secretary, another Ivanka clone who can give Natalie Harp a run for the money as the most obsequious minion in the White House but apparently can't read words more than one syllable long -- her first outing at a press briefing was so bad that there are rumors she's going to beat Scaramucci's record for rapid firings. Every day brings another bizarre episode, something so unthinkable in terms of what passed for normal a few years ago that it renders me effectively speechless.
And it's not just Trump and politics. It's also people. While everyone is still talking about the Cornell 7, sexual abuse, and misogyny, Shane Gillis decides to do a woman-hating joke on national television. Dude might as well be wearing a I'm With Stupid tee-shirt with the arrow pointing at himself.
I definitely need to spend more time in the Woman Cave with soft rock playing quietly in the background from the local easy listening station. No news, no internet, just perfectly good fabric for me to cut into tiny pieces to sew back together eventually.
