Three weeks ago, it was a New York Times op-ed asking if women ruined the workplace.
Two weeks ago, it was the President telling a female reporter, “Quiet, piggy,” when she was doing her job.
The next day, it was watching every question in a meeting be directed to my more junior male colleague instead of to me.
“Trad-wife” content continues to trend on social media. Our reproductive rights are under constant attack. The child care crisis seems irrelevant to way too many people in power (even though costs now surpass rent prices in most major cities!).
Every day, women in every sector and from every background are routinely undermined, overlooked, and “put in our place” by men.
Men are the default experts, the ones automatically taken seriously, and the ones whose needs are centered — while women are often sidelined, no matter their credentials or life experiences.
It’s 2025, and long overdue for this sexism (whether it’s subtle or obvious) to end. Because this is really about power: who has it, who’s been denied it, and who’s been constantly forced to prove themselves and their worth.
Women aren’t going anywhere, and we’re going to keep fighting back against this bullsh*t. We will take up space, demand respect, and do our jobs — because that’s what we’re here to do.
And you can be certain that it will be because of women — the work we put into organizing our communities, caring for our neighbors, getting out the vote, and running for office ourselves — when we take back the House in 2026!
I’m all in. Will you join me? Pitch in whatever you can before tonight’s end-of-month deadline to support my efforts to flip the House next year.
