We know history is sexist simply because of the sexism embedded in the English language.

But it's so much more than that.

Starting with the dialogue surrounding the Democratic candidates in the upcoming 2020 race.

Acknowledging these hypotheticals, he moves ahead to say that it's important to the discussion to understand what sort of reaction the country would have to the things women have already endured.


And it works across the board for more minority populations.

And you know what?

Women are done.





It turns out that this theory isn't something new, after all.

When European explorers came to the Americas, they forced patriarchy onto cultures that were often matrilineal, matriarchal or equality based.

Thousands and thousands of years of oppression have drained women of their patience.
