The girls get it, the boys can’t be bothered.

16 year old Naomi Beinart wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times on what it was like to experience the day after the election.I’m 16. On Nov. 5 the Girls Cried, and the Boys Played Minecraft.We girls woke up to a country that would rather elect a man found liable for sexual abuse than a woman. Where the kind of man my mother instructs me to cross the street to avoid will be addressed as Mr. President. Where the body I haven’t fully grown into may no longer be under my control. The boys, it seemed to me, just woke up on a Wednesday.Her experience of waking up last Wednesday to a whole different future than the boys in her class. At school the boys were going about their day as if nothing had happened while the girls were visibly shaken. The one boy that noticed didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. The boys simply don’t consider girls issues as their own to worry about and they don’t understand how this election will impact them. It’s a certain kind of privilege to be secure in the fact that no matter who is elected their lives will continue as is. My heart breaks for these girls who know their future could be very different than the boys in their schools. I have always thought I would leave them a world better than the one I was born into.Now I have no doubt that at least some of the boys will understand what this election means in terms of civil rights. Will tfg make good on his promises to do away with the EEOC and education parity laws. Is everything we have worked and fought for in the last 100 years about to be wiped away. And what the hell is it going to take to get the people to rise up against the GOP that would prefer the world go back to 1890 when the robber barons where king and there were no rights for women, people of color, lgbtq, and workers?
