So, I got political with the Avon lady. She's clearly on the red side. I was telling her about the HandMaid's Tale and how we should fight the patriarchy. She asked me what are we going to do about all the immigrants crossing the border in Texas. I said, "What are you talking about? I haven't heard/read that. I'll have to look it up".
I did. This is where she gets her news. This is the only recent article I could find.

I'm hoping my short little bursts of conversations with her will open her mind.
@Jezibaba Thanks! She's not a hateful person I just think she's one o fthese women whose husbands hold a lot of weight. Like, she doesn't realize the patriarchy is holding her back.
@mistressticia teaching the patriarchy from the ground up is a daunting task I'm going to Triple my good luck wishes to you in this respect
@Jezibaba Thank you. If she cares- she may look up the Handmaid's Tale on the internets. If she doesn't, she'll just continue to live in her faux bubble. I also brought up climate change and she looked confused. Climate change is kind of real.🤷
@mistressticia I hear a robotic voice in my head says overload overload overload. Congrats to you for laying the groundwork. Hopefully a sister can catch on
@Jezibaba 😂 You definitely picked up on my imagery. I was just thinking to myself "she is pretty vacant". lol Nice person. Good heart though. I always thinkeveryone's like me and get shocked when I realize they're not. lololol
@Jezibaba I agree and I feel this.
@mistressticia I absolutely agree which is why it's more disheartening for me to run into internalized misogyny than it is to run into a complete chauvinistic misogynist
