As a woman, being anything other than blue is not in my best interest. Voting for anything else is voting against myself, my daughter, and other women. In the past, I have filtered men of quality by their political party. Those that are red are most likely leaning towards misogynistic, patriarchal, and oftentimes predatory views. My best interests are not on their radar, only theirs are. If mine seem to be, it is under the guise that they "know best" as my "protector". Lies, control, and manipulation. Unfortunately, I can no longer use voted blue as a filter either. Many men have figured this out and are posing as "liberal" just to get laid, to get a foot in the door, when they can't even scratch the surface of what it means to be a woman, especially now. More lies. More manipulation. This is why I'm single: too many men want to figure out women so they can get laid and be nurtured without having to understand them or put in the real work. I know there are good, honest, safe, emotionally available, strong men out there. It's kind of like how I know there are snow leopards. I stopped looking. I trust they're there, but I only have so much time and energy. I choose to invest it in myself and my daughter. As they say, if a man wants to be a part of it, he'd better show up authentically and add not only to my peace but bring just as much or more to the table, not take away from it or stake claim for himself.

You, a fool: men are voting liberal to get laid (derogatory)

Me, a genius: men are voting liberal to get laid (celebratory)
