Mother's day

you all might know my feelings on the treacly shit holiday known as mother's day. But i'm nothing if not redundant. Mother's day is where we hand out flowers and hallmark cards so we can prentend like we actually give a shit about the women who literally are the only reason the human race exists. Throughout the world, women in general and mothers in particular do 90% of the work yet own only 10% of the wealth. Domestically, mothers face a much wider wage gap than any others group and only 30% of single mothers receive child support.
So thanks for the brunch, but i'd rather be treated like full human being than a sacred cow worshipped one day a year and milked for the other 364
