Looking for Something to Blame?

I’ve been studiously reading the Internet now for whole minutes and I am deeply and abidingly disappointed to not find even one mention of the singular most oppressive factor for me today as a woman in America. More over, it’s really the only problem that could be easily solved that would provide material benefits over the short And long term.

No, I’m not talking about doing away with all the men. I’m talking about once and for all Doing Away With Daylight Savings.

Admit it, you’re anxious about the looming horror of losing an entire hour in three short days. You’ve already had seven moments of panic as you considered what will happen, Again, to your body, mind, spirit, family, routine, coping ability, and overall happiness when the government for, as studies have shown, No Good Reason At All takes away the hour they purported to “give back” so many months ago.

And yes, this is an issue for the Day of the Woman. Men don’t need as much sleep. Men largely don’t have to keep infants alive in the middle of the night. Men don’t have the same juggling act as working women. So yes, it is a conspiracy, all the way from the depths of Sheol, to destroy the lives of all women everywhere.

If Mr. Trump and the Republican Party and the Democratic Party and all people in power really “loved women” as they say they do, they would get rid of this insane hour shifting oppressive ridiculousness that is completely insanely ridiculous.

I don’t know how to lobby congress and I’m allergic to my phone so I’m probably not the person to do the ground work. I’m just trusting that the power of this single blog post will Wake Up All Women Everywhere and that someone will start knitting hats and marching in front of a building somewhere. I won’t be able to do that because I’m about to lose a whole hour of my life.
