i usually have no feelings about something after i write about it but this has just made me madder tbh — like, a third grader could say “my mom” to this question but by the time you’re in, say, eighth grade, that shit is HELLA embarrassing

The problem with Susan B. Anthony when she was on a coin (and I realize this sounds trivial, but it wasn’t, it took ages to sort out) is that she was active for such a long time that people complained that making her look young didn’t make her look distinguished enough but making her look old was too unflattering.

I’m starting to think that the Onion isn’t a satirical newspaper, but a time-traveler’s thoroughly misunderstood attempts to warn us of the impending apocalypse.

I liked how Cruz picked Rosa Parks because she “helped remedy racial injustice.” So apparently that problem was fixed more than half a century ago.

I’m kind of surprised Huckabee didn’t say Kim Davis.

No, to them, mothers and wives ARE the notable women. Taking care of their men. THAT’S what women do, so they are notable.

Mother Teresa and Margaret Thatcher: not American.

In true republican form, women only exist if they are some how related to them. Otherwise, a ‘woman’ is a thing that needs to be controlled and belittled.

as a person who watched the whole thing, because ?????

I think the ones who answered with “my mom” or “my wife” couldn’t actually think of any notable women in history.

It's like drunken mad libs.

I’m not convinced she’s not a robot. Some freshman Computer Science major wrote a program as a joke that generates Tea Party-esque phrases and then uploaded it into her mainframe.

That way, when you do go out to lunch with multiple coworkers and they start quoting Old School at each other (or whatever it is that men bond over), you can counter with your own shared interests.
