"economic parity" will not make me any more equal than it will make a black woman or man equal. No minority will ever be equal.

I will not get shot in my car, I am white and privileged...yet I will never be equal.

Speaking for me, as a woman, it took us 72 years for the right to vote and in 2017 men are regulating what we should be paid and telling us that they alone make the decisions over our bodies. They don't use birth control and never needed an abortion so why the hell should THEY pay for it? Well you Boys...we don't use Viagra so why the hell should we be paying for your hard pricks that may result in a pregnancy that you refuse to cover.

Here they are...

Fuck them all.

Rant Off. OT. Sorry.
