In this political season, I have three words to discuss. Strangely, they all begin with the letter W.
Woke — A political buzzword of the last few years, has been used by a certain party and many an elected official ad nauseam. However, that word was rarely understood by those who used it, and even those who heard it. Maybe, from their point of view, it just meant bad.
Weird — The newest buzzword of today’s politics was used by another political party to describe the strange comments made by a nominee for public office. Not sure why, but this word offends some of those who hear it. Maybe it means something bad.
Women — Jane Austen and Mary Wollstonecraft wrote that women are “rational creatures.” Today, women hold elected office across the land and can even be president. My youngest daughter, an intelligent, hardworking and caring individual, loves her two cats and has yet to have children. Why “childless cat ladies” would be a subject of political discourse is beyond me, especially since it does not gain you any votes. I think there are many more important issues to address this year. Plus, who ever said that is seriously weird.
