Canada
So so so proud of Canada and Trudeau today, for appointing a cabinet that is 50% female and so much more diverse than before! But can we take a second to talk about all the white cisgender men who seem to be butt-hurt by this decision? Saying it’s not right that a woman got picked over a man simply because she’s a woman. Now, I’m going to go into the actual details of how small minded and stupid this thinking is, BUT look how much of a fuss these people are making BECAUSE THEY FINALLY HAVE A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE. Maybe now you can try to understand how it feels to ask yourself if you didn’t get the job because you weren’t qualified, or if it is simply because of your gender. Now you can look at the cabinet ministers and see that they are all qualified. Or go through history and see how so many of these old white guys that were the ministers before, weren’t qualified. You didn’t seem to care whether or not they were qualified when they were just old white men. As soon as cisgender white men don’t get what they want, they throw a hissy fit. “But I’m white and old, I should have power!”
