This was entirely inspired by Qasim Rashid. A human rights lawyer on the gram and now recently announced that he's running for congress in IL.
1776 – all men are equal in this institution.
But no women shall, draft or craft
this constitution.
1848 – the married women’s property act – women finally have the right to own property – only white women tho, all women are u crazy?
1920 – beating women’s finally illegal,
only took 144 years
after waving around famous bald eagle
1921 – women can vote – but only white women
Asian women have to wait until 1952
Native women have to wait until 1962
Black women? 1965
And finally Latina women- 1975,
almost 200 years of allegiance to the stars and stripes
1970 – no fault divorce
allows women to bounce, without having to say why
she shouldn’t have to announce, why she’s no longer your wife
1974 – equal credit opp act,
women can get credit
without their husbands or father’s approval
we finally said it
we don’t need the patriarchal ruler
1981 – first women appointed to the supreme court, 205 years after founding
1993 – martial rape is finally criminalized
Finally these cocky pensis’ can be penalized
2022 – roe v wade overturned,
years of work turned into heartburn
2023 – equal rights amendment
nowhere to be seen
which means,
we’ll continue to fight
until you’re forced to see me
100% presidents are men
98% of Vice Presidents are men
96% of supreme court justices are men
92% of the Senate are men
90% of HoR are men
90% of fortune 500 CEO are men
Yet
50% of the country are women
C’mon men
we can surely do better than that
