More Roadside Cavity Searches in Texas???

Mercy sakes. What the hell is going on in Texas? Why are cops doing cavity searches on women by the side of the road? I read yesterday, that a female cop who did this was reinstated on the force because the powers that be decided that in view of the fact that she's a trainee, it was the responsibility of her training officer to stop her from doing the cavity search.

SHE'S A WOMAN. SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.

I don't care if she was a trainee. She needs to lose her job along with her idiot training officer. Does anyone take responsibility for their actions anymore? What difference does it make if she was a trainee? Don't we want our police officers to have the intelligence to think for themselves? If she can't figure this one out without someone else telling her what to do, then she shouldn't be trusted to protect and serve. Because this doesn't serve the public at all. This was a criminal act. Just like in the military. It's no different.

Let's recap a little.. Texas has a problem respecting women. Whether it's the legislature, the governor, or law enforcement, for whatever reason, women are being targeted by abusive behavior. A woman's right to be safe from harm is being systematically destroyed by this state. But they're not alone in this effort. It's almost as if some of these conservative controlled states are vying for the most abusive state award. Their behavior is reckless and destructive.

Do we really need to have 50 states in our union? Secession is looking pretty good at this point.

Texas is screwing over women again..

The Texas legislature is trying to ban abortion statewide with HB60. Extensive testimony was given last night until it was stopped. Rumor has it they may actually vote on Sunday. This is a travesty. It was stated that the testimony was stopped because it was "repetitive". Nice. They didn't want to hear any more personal stories. Because that's what they were. Personal stories that were no doubt difficult to tell, but necessary because no one is listening to us.

Who do these idiot men think they are? You misogynistic assholes make comments as we walk down the street that are unwelcome. You come into our workplaces and make comments that are unwelcome. You continually craft legislation that will make life difficult for us. And yes, that's unwelcome. You control us in our marriages and partnerships because you can't stand the fact that we can think for ourselves and God forbid if that means we disagree with you. Boy are we ever in trouble then! But you know what? We do disagree with you. Vehemently. 

The Constitution says that we can have abortions if we want to have them. That doesn't mean that it's now time for states to decide how to circumvent the law and deny us what is our constitutionally protected right. You look like idiots. And women have had enough of idiots making their lives impossible and disrespecting their rights. I'd suggest that women in Texas speak up, but they tried that and were branded "repetitive".

I'm so sorry men didn't get the memo that we don't live in a patriarchal society. You don't own us. You never did. And you never will. Because eventually, life will get difficult for you. Trust me.
