A woman can't be prez. Not strong enough. Would not be respected in the world. It's sad.

But looking at some of the stuff I've seen posted here, I don't mean things people have said I mean things people have reported, I think it's mostly the misogyny.

For a selfish reason. I don't think I could get out. I have no relatives in other countries, I'm too old for any place to want me for working, and I don't have enough money to buy my way in.

And it wouldn't surprise me a bit if they personally came for me. I want out, but I can't see any way I can get out.

I didn’t mean you stay and fight with people out to get you. But to plan and execute an escape you need your wits about you.
I have a feeling Canada will see an influx of new visa applicants from America.

Anyway I gotta log off for my mental health. Stay safe everyone.
