My husband had a job that fired him for taking two sick days back to back, his first two ever in 4 years. He even missed the birth of his son as he had work so I just drove to the hospital, had a baby and went home in the mornng. It was awesome. /s Gotta love the American Dream.

The reverie was broken when Senator Murkowski proceeded to use her platform to say:

WORD. I love my husband and he’s mostly SUPER great, but if we both have hangovers (or are sick, or whatever), I’m the one simultaneously bathing the kid/vomiting in the toilet while he’s on the couch with the remote and a giant bottle of gatorade. Women get it done.

Exactly. This is the reason! They all would have been accused of being weak.

As a stay at home mom who could really use a freaking sick day today and isn't getting one, word.

They had the PERFECT opportunity to classify feminine hygiene products as necessary goods and remove the luxury tax! Why did this not happen!

And for most of existence, women haven’t had the privilege of not showing up. No matter how sick or busy, they couldn’t stop mothering. Women have been working around the clock, rain or snow or plague or shine, for millenia.

...and not a one of those senators who stayed home touched a shovel or vacuum cleaner.

Honestly, I think it’s because as a female you are worried you’ll be judged if you don’t show up. Dudes just take for granted that they can stay home when they are sick, their kid is sick, or it’s dangerous to travel.

Good cop bad neighbour.

He got the medal for dunking with a 30 lb belt on.

I agree, I hate when people say #AllLivesCanJump and don’t realize how demeaning it is to our movement, so ignorant

Cop: “Can you believe somebody called in a complaint about kids playing basketball? Can you believe that?”

unfortunately he came back to plant a murder weapon.

Now this is the type of police brutality I can get behind.

“I made a joke about dating, and then AMY made a joke about dating!! THEN I made a joke about boobs, and of course Amy went and made a boob-joke too! Then I did this whole bit where it would be surprising that I was being crass because I am a girl, you know? Guess what! AMY went and did that too! And Amy NEVER steals…

This storm should meet my good friend, Florida.

I also truly feel bad for Beernsten, the rape victim. She did nothing wrong and was failed by the justice system as well.
