#NastyWoman Update: Ladies Don't Need To Be Told Anything, Thank You Very Much

If you log onto social media, you will find women incoherent with rage because a dumbass congressman from Texas decided to back up Trump’s nasty women remark with, “Sometimes a lady has to be told when she’s being nasty.

I’ll give you a minute to let your blood pressure return to normal.

We could go into a long discussion of all the ways that condescending little remark embodies the patriarchy — but you know what? Dude had his moment. I don’t wanna entertain his nonsense. Instead, I humbly submit some wise words from wise women. Savor these. Ponder them. Carry them into your weekend. Use them to arm yourself against future patriarchal nonsense.

You’re welcome.
