This has been my favorite internet picture circulating:
When I was 10, my social studies teacher told our class that “A woman will never be elected president because women don’t vote for other women.” Not having the finely-honed misogynistic-bullshit detector I do today in elementary school, I believed him.

How is this surprising? She has a British identical twin!!!
