It’s threads like this one that make Twitter worthwhile. They may be few and far between, but when they rise through all the nonsense online, it’s suddenly totally worth it.
Author A.R. Moxon wrote a Twitter thread where he laid out an alternate history and future where the roles of men and women have been reversed. Moxon’s thread makes it abundantly clear that although women have made a lot of headway in recent years, we still have a long way to go and history has been one-sided in terms of power, to say the least.
Here’s the tweet that started the conversation. Let it sink in…
45 male presidents in a row…wrap your head around that. And think of how it must feel to be on the other side and be accused of “identity politics” for simply wanting to have your voice heard.
Moxon continued with his conversation.
There’s no doubt there’s a whole lot of controversy surrounding the Supreme Court right now. How will it look in the next several years? What laws will be passed?
Think about this: women in the U.S. have had the privilege to vote FOR LESS THAN 100 YEARS. Pretty hard to believe when you think about it. When both of my grandmothers were born, women were not allowed to vote. Sobering.
Would that be ok? I think we all know the answer to that question.
And there was more…
These tweets are all crazy hypotheticals, but let it all sink in and think about what women have had to endure in our country.
