Up until very recently, the US was all but made entirely up of WPA hires. Thing is, the whole DEI vs WPA business entirely ignores the fact that Kamala has a curriculum vitae that anyone running for public office would envy. She talks the talk AND walks the walk. As a trial attorney, she either knew how to do that or she would not have survived that environment.

Which is why I will be watching the September 10th debate with Trump VERY CLOSELY ... and Trump had better have a change of undies waiting for him offstage!

I’m absolutely all over this! It’s certainly been WPA all my life. Guess that’s why there’s such a thing as the glass ceiling. Maybe we should change that to the foreskin ceiling?

The thing that makes me sad for my young self, is I was born in the 20th and thought by now, race hatred would be a problem of the past. (Also, as a girl from the suburbs, I was ignorant to how bad and how hateful people can be.)

Still, if we don't fight we can't win against the haters.

If Ken Leonard says that’s what’s happened, it’s done. Cool.

There is so much research that supports the notion that WPA get hired first over women, let alone WOC. CV written identically, the one with the obvious white male name gets picked for the interview. My fellow pilots get DEI accusations thrown at them all the time, even though I guarantee the plane has no knowledge of your dick status. Women physicians make less than the same specialty male doctor, even though they are, when surveyed, the better physician ( we listen better and are more empathetic ).

I am sending this to my fellow women…. Down with WPA! ( there is always viagra to fix that downward trend)

“ This plane has no knowledge of your dick status” is a sign that needs to be on the door of every .. . um, cockpit. Thank you as always, Judith.
