Sorry Bernie, I love you but even with your endorsement I will not vote for Hilary.

No. Just no. I am a woman who works in blue collar. I am the ONLY woman working in my department. You know what I refuse to do? Use my gender as leverage in the workplace. It leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth. That something I had zero control or choice in somehow makes me a better candidate for the job, the promotion, whatever, or has any impact on my effectiveness in the work place. My vagina does not add a different perspective or narrative.

You know what I do have to do? Bust my fucking ass with no lip, to avoid the stereotype being applied to me. Go the extra mile to prove my worth. Guard my appearance, my demeanor, my words, to prevent scandal. I cannot hand-waive this away when a woman is President, if it were Mother Mary herself.

I find it absolutely fucking disgusting that this vile woman, who has used her gender as a tool and as a weapon, should influence other girls and women to do that same. Having a woman as President would be amazing, but are we really going to say that Hillary is the right woman for this responsibility? I say no. And my vote will reflect that.
