I've seen a lot of strong sentiments this past week.

This post is my fight for the rights of the people in my life, and around the world.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fuck.You.

Fuck-bloody-you.

Fuck you anyone who, in the past week, has called women "Traitors to their sex".

Fuck you anyone who, in the past week, has said "This election is proof that Americans would rather elect any sort of man than a qualified and competent woman".

Fuck you anyone who, in the past week, has called people a traitor to their race, or a traitor to their class, or their religion, or their sexuality, or their political or social movement.

Fuck you you misogynistic, racist, self-pretentious fucks.

When did it become OK to define women solely by their Gender? When did it become OK to tell women that they're not allowed to have any other identity beyond what's between their legs? When did we stop fighting for the day that people would be treated fucking equally. For the day when gender was no longer an issue. For the day when the colour of your skin was just as unremarkable as the colour of your clothes.

You want to know why these "traitors to their sex" didn't vote for Hillary? Because they thought of themselves as more than just a fucking vagina. Because they had hopes and dreams and concerns and identities beyond their fucking gender.

What was the message of the Hillary campaign? "I'm a woman, you're a woman, vote for me or else you're a fucking racist, misogynistic traitor, how dare you even think of caring about anything else".

You're a woman, you're not allowed to care about rape. Look! Some women say that Trump sexually assaulted them. He raped a child. But let's conveniently dismiss the women claiming the same about me or my husband. After all, we all know that "those" women's claims shouldn't be taken seriously. After all I'm a woman, how could I possibly be involved in something like that (let's conveniently forget the time I defended that accused child rapist and reduced the 13 year old claimant to tears in open court.).

You're a woman, you're not allowed to care about corruption. You're not allowed to care that I've spent 40 years in "public service" but have somehow amassed a Billion-Dollar fortune whilst doing so. Nope. Not corrupt at all. I'm just a "Competent, experienced political operator".

You're a woman, you're not allowed to care about honesty. You're not allowed to care about that time I said, when I didn't think the common people would ever find out, "You have to have a public position and a private position". Nope, I'm as clean and honest as they come.

You're a woman, you're not allowed to care about democracy. You're not allowed to care that I colluded with my own party to undermine and rig the nomination. Those are just "e-mails", why on earth would you care about those.

You're a woman, you're not allowed to care about the economy. That despite all the economic growth, average wages haven't gone up in 40 years. The same 40 years I was part of the political and economic elite. But no, see here, I'm "totally" on board with Sanders' economic policies now. You can trust me. I'm a politician.

You're a woman, you're not allowed to care about your country. Or your borders. You're not Americans, you're women, remember, and if you care about your borders, then you're a fucking racist.

You're a woman, you're not allowed to want to be treated equally and with respect. Trump's an asshole. And a misogynist. He says terrible things about women. I mean, he says terrible things about everyone he's running against, he's really more of an equal-opportunity asshole, but we're going to single out women here. Never mind that his company has one of the highest rate of senior female executives in the world, or that they're paid equally. He says terrible things, and I'm a woman, so vote for me.

You're a woman, you're not allowed to care about the plight of girls around the world. You're not allowed to care that I helped authorise arms sales to Saudi Arabia. Or that they gave $25 Million to my foundation, you know, because they care "soooo" much about advancing the rights of women around the world.

You're a woman, you're not allowed to care about your family or your countrymen. You're not allowed to care about the war on terror, or the foreign wars and interventions I supported as secretary of State. You're not allowed to care about all the money the defence contractors have donated to my campaign. Or all the arms deals I helped authorise.

You're a woman. You're not allowed to think of yourself as anything but a woman. You're not allowed to think of me as anything but a woman. You've got a vagina, I've got a vagina, so vote for me. What qualifies me to be president of the United States? "I'm a woman".

Fuck. You.
