Helene Schjerfbeck, The Neck of a Little Girl
“‘ONE of the hardest parts of this,’ said Senator Elizabeth Warren, her voice shaking as she announced the end of her campaign on Thursday, ‘is all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years. That’s going to be hard.'” (Source)
This is one of the funniest things I have ever read. And it shows why Elizabeth Warren could not win. She’s out of touch with reality. Anyone who thinks eight-year-olds really care about politics is dumb.
Most little girls dream of being un-elected princesses. If not that, they’d like to be housewives pushing baby carriages and reigning over their own domestic kingdoms. If you asked most girls, which would you rather do when you grow up: spend your days filling out a lot of paperwork at a desk, shaking hands with other people who spend their days filling out a lot of paperwork at desks, and making decisions that will make you unpopular OR marry a man you love, take care of little babies, clean, cook, and make curtains for a little home, there would be no question, the latter would be the answer. However, it is true, that if little girls are told or given the impression that being a president is a matter of wearing nice clothes, waving to nice people and having your picture taken, they may prefer the former.
Thanks to political agitators like Liz, who is nothing but a traitor to the true interests of the female sex, many of them will end up as employed drudges with broken families and women presidents. Perhaps the lie of progress will help them forget their dreams.
