There was a time that race and gender mattered to extreme within the workings and structure of society, but not no more. It has become isolated incidents, rather than life within a white man’s world. As such, having moved so far beyond those days, it is maddening and insulting to hear women, who have failed in their positions, claim that a call for accountability on their part is merely because they are women and/or women of color in America. Are they really suggesting that women are not able and do not have to do their jobs or do them well? Really?
I am a woman that spent most of her working career in a man’s field. I never expected to be treated differently than the men I worked with. I never asked to be excused for my mistakes because, after all, I’m a woman and as a woman – I shouldn’t be held accountable. If I screwed up – I screwed up and it had nothing to do with my race or gender. It had to do with me. It had to do with me – a person – making the mistake. PERIOD!
Likewise, I am sick of being accused of being racist for no other reason than of my skin tone and that I exist. Maybe I even gave an opinion about something that a progressive disagreed with and, of course, many radical libs can’t have that. When they have no legit argument, they go into insult mode and the attempt to destroy. After all, how dare anyone not agree with them?
People should not be “excused” or “protected” or “promoted” because of their race or gender. That is, after all, suggesting that the person is incapable of success in whatever endeavor and being given a free ride. That’s an insult – not a favor.
People should not be “excused” for stealing and assaulting and killing or for over-looking all the stealing and assaulting and killing. That’s irrational – not rational.
Women, of whatever skin tone, should not expect a free ride, but rather, show they are worthy of success in whatever endeavor they pursue. And if they fail – they should accept that their failure is theirs… and not accuse others of holding them accountable just because they are women.
The childish, spoiled brat, mentally-challenged behavior our society is infested with deserves to be frowned upon. It’s time to for the games to end. It is time for accountability.
