3. The GOP considers women

nothing more than domestic and sexual servants, and unfortunately they are surrounded by women who reinforce those views rather than refute them.

The example that we had for 8 years of a President who surrounded himself with strong women and treated them with utmost dignity and respect, has turned 180 to a boy-man who thinks women only exist to satisfy whatever desires he has. No, he doesn't think violence against women is a crime, he thinks it is a birth right.

I grieve for the women and men who live utterly miserable lives due to domestic abuse. We need stronger education programs and shelters where the cycle can be broken, yet it is always low priority, underfunded and understaffed. I don't know what it will take to change that, but I fear it is about to get a whole lot worse.
