Women make up over 50% of the population, so how the hell can you call us a “special interest group”? Sure, we’re special, but don’t you think it’s about time the rest of you began thinking of us as, perhaps, just as important as you? Let me educate you on what’s special – and not special – about women. Read the rest of this entry »
