(Opens with Rep. Proudie, D-Missouri district 53, bitching about spending $1200 on a suit and that she can’t wear it in the people’s House because someone (and it cuts off - the captions read ‘who doesn’t have the range tells her’… and we’ll never know, because we get stupid potato head instead))
Hey y’all, go watch that video. (No. Long awkward pause) We need to have a talk. (Stop calling these talks, they’re intellectually stunted lectures, fuckwaffle. Long pause) And this one is really hitting a little bit too close. (Long pause, deep breath)
Back last year when Afghanistan (pause) went back to being how Afghanistan had been (pause, deep breath) and I watched all those women running to the malls and the supermarkets (And I ponder how she managed this from Alabama - oh yeah, it had to be on fucking social media videos. Plus what Afghanistan from the past is she talking about? Surely not the Afghanistan from the 50s and 60s prior to the Taliban. Bet she’s not going to be capable of relating the suppression of women’s rights with the surge to prominence of the Taliban and the institution of Sharia Law. Deep breath, by the way) trying to find modest clothing. (Pause) But there wasn’t anyone at the stores and they were afraid of being punished. (Pause) I looked at my husband and I told him (long pause, head jiggle) we’re next. (I wonder how the FUCK we’re next when we aren’t federally allowed to apply Sharia Law. This dipshit once more proves she has no fucking clue what she’s talking about. Long pause.) United States, that’s gonna happen here next.
(I am sorry, the somewhat informed brain I have in my noggin is gasping for breath as it suffocates on the stupidity pouring from my laptop’s speakers. Pausing as I get booze. Which is fine, because she’s pausing, too.)
(and back.)
And I don’t think I’m gonna be wrong. (You are. Long pause.) And I hate it. I hate it with everything. (Long pause, licks lips, breath) I’ve sat and watched the last few months as more rules have been pushed in different states (Long pause as I wonder which states are following Sharia Law, and I think of things like the 2009 domestic abuse case in NJ where a trial judge deferred to Sharia tenets but the state’s Superior Court demolished that shit. But yeah, fuck her, she’s an ignroamus.) about what is and isn’t acceptable attire in the public (gasp) viewpoint (Oh, is this about New York saying ‘yeah, everyone can show their nipples!’ and most other states going ‘yeah, nah.’ Pissa. Nipple display for women is a relatively new thing, and covering the milk bags isn’t a new repressive state for most places in this country. I will also point out that only in the US do you see celebrities going out in assess chaps (THANKS LIZZO I NEVER NEEDED TO SEE THAT UGH) in public venues and twerking their cheeks in front of any who’d glance over, including possibly children). And the only thing I’m seeing pushed is what’s acceptable to white evangelicals (LOLOLOL no. Has this bitch never seen Pride in SF? That sure as fuck ain’t acceptable to white evangelicals, but they aren’t doing shit about it).
(long pause, angry shifty eyes) If we don’t stop (long fucking pause) If we don’t stop (sounding angrier doesn’t make you any less intellectually vapid or devoid of information, Pissa. I want you to list which states are pushing dress codes STATE WIDE for women beyond ‘cover thine boobies and thy ass in public’ - and likely, they also have in place ‘cover thine ass and dangly-bits’ for the menfolk, so equality, yeah?) We’re going to go back over a hundred years (pause) in time (so women are going to lose their rights to vote and their presence in the work place? Actually, if troonery continues, that may happen because biological men will force women out of their earned positions in the name of trans rights, but that’s a rant for another time. Oh, pause again) to how women were and how we were treated.
(I am now reflecting on how my Great-Grandmother GUSHED about the 1920s before the depression hit. Would that really be a bad thing? She made the roaring 20s sound pretty grand.
We are on the verge of losing everything and (pause) our (pause, deep breath) LGBTQ+, (pause) they’re on the verge of losing their own identities (pause) as well (LOLOLOL No).
(Actually, digging deeper, it seems that this suit… featured sequins. Which is not acceptable in a professional setting, and I’d expect House Representatives to be professional. The fuck. Also, the republican representative who supports the women’s dress code has a point - the men are required to wear a jacket, shirt and tie (and ties are THE FUCKING DEVIL - but are better than neck tabs, OMFG). If they walk in without a tie, they get gaveled out. So why do the women get to be special? The motion in question? Women having to wear a jacket with their ensemble. They can still wear dresses, skirts or pants, but they may have to wear jackets. The more I dig, the more my uniform-wearing ass of 20+ years gets pissed, because fuck off, the sexes should be treated equally, and if the guys HAVE to wear a jacket in the State House, guess what, ladies?!!? DO IT. You want fucking equality? Have fucking equality! WEAR TIES.)
(Sorry, tangent rant over)
A $1200 suit isn’t acceptable in a public view place (IT’S NOT A PUBLIC VIEW PLACE, IT’S THE STATE HOUSE. Pissa’s argument is invalid. Of course. No surprise. But I thought I’d point that out more clearly). In a meeting space that’s supposed to represent every single woman, child, adult, elder, every single person in the United States. (IT’S THE MISSOURI STATE HOUSE.) But only the attire of the white evangelicals (pause) is acceptable (white evangelicals don’t blanket-enforce neck ties for dudes, so you’re off on this - it’s professional attire). Think about it.
(I have, and a lot more than you have, Pissa.)
See, I grew up with men who controlled women. I’ve seen it my entire life. (You also are white trash that has no idea what professional environments look like, so your hot takes are baseless. Long pause and deep breath, by the way) And I come from a long line of women who were controlled (so you got a noodle-armed yap-dog in human form for a husband). From my great grandmother who had to have dinner on the table (deep breath) exactly when my grandfather walked in the door (??? So he was living at home while he was a working aged adult? That’s rare in those days, ain’t it? Oh, wait. Immediately correction) My great grandfather. (So the housewife was to have dinner ready when the working stiff dragged himself home. Okay.) To an aunt who could only bathe when her husband told her (gasp) she could bathe (okay, that one’s kind of creepy - it could be a water heater problem, or a creep thing, but yeah, this one’s a little more whack than the ‘housewife having dinner ready when field-worker dragged his beaten ass in the door’).
(LONG pause) These are their stories (and they kind of suck). And if we go back it’s a slap in the face to them (deep breath) for having to endure it. (Your wild tangent has been found to have zero relevance, Pissa.) It’s our turn to stop it. (By posting uneducated schlock on TikTok!!) We have marched (if you had, you’d be in better shape kek) we have wrote letters, we have petitioned (the only petition there’s proof of you signing is the one to remove us which is useless lol - and YES, I realize she’s saying ‘we’ as in women because we all know that Pissa didn’t do any of this shit. Pause here with a deep breath, too) What do we need to do to put this bed once and for all and pass once and for all? (That’s what the captions say LOLOLOL - AND IT’S EXACTLY WHAT SHE SAYS.)
(I am sorry. I am laughing. This fucking galaxy brain here. Pissa. You need to SCRIPT OUT YOUR THOUGHTS. You just sounded like you’re more brain-dead than my Grandmother, who’s been stiff in the ground for the last 3 decades.)
The Equal Rights amendments in our constitution. We need the ERA. (Shakes her head) We needed the ERA (and it cuts off because dummy rambled right to the time limit lolz)
