I have a hard time not feeling hateful toward people who voted for this and don't see anything wrong with it. There are those who voted this mess into power and know they made a mistake, but the ones who think it's just fine, not a problem, or even exactly what they want? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THOSE PEOPLE?

Thank you for archiving these things. I'm always in and out of the country and it's mind-blowing coming back. And the other "feminist" sites that exist, don't even talk or list this stuff. I appreciate what you do, even though I'm not at all active on the site. Hell, it was listening to yesterdays Trump crazy UN speech that made me log in and say this. I listened to it live in French and thought..."Am I having a stroke and no longer speak French? Because, no way he's saying this!" I pulled it up on the BBC to hear it in English....what the...?
