Who Can Go the Distance?

We'll find out... in the long run.

We can handle some resistance,
if our will is a strong one (strong one...)

Say, did I ever mention that I've been called "stubborn" a time or two in my life? "Thank you," I've always replied. In the right circumstances, a little stubbornness in a woman is a good thing. And make no bones about it, plenty of us women are supporting Donald Trump for president. Some of us are even proud to share some of his truth-telling traits. Not easy, especially not in a woman, where so many are taught to go along to get along. To let their husband read and okay their copy before publishing, for example. (Gail Collins: I'm looking at you, lady!)

But call us non-women if you must. Traitors to our gender, if it makes you feel better...

Either way, we know who will help us, and who will lump us all in the same boat and tell us that it falls to us to carry the weight of less fortunate others, willing to weigh down the ship but not able to actively help the situation any.

No thank you.
Sometimes it's just better to jump ship: you can never fully bail out others in an overloaded boat, and if you are a strong swimmer -- and I am -- you do what it takes to survive.

Hillary Clinton is not on my side: we're not playing for the same team, sisterhood aside.
