Women have come a long way since being allowed an education. They are CEOs of big companies, owning their own businesses, and running for political offices all over the country — and winning.

But a few old white men who remain in power are shaking in their boots with fear. Therefore they are trying to use their limited power to put women in their place, back in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant.

Well, it’s not going to happen ever again. Women have proven they can rise above this silliness of men trying to assert power.
