Because once a room full of six year olds were gunned down and the over-all reaction was “thoughts and prayers” and not decisive, impactful, and immediate legislation, that was the end of the gun control debate.

No one ever mentions to you as a young girl going through puberty that there’s another one coming in your late 20s-early 30s that will cause you to subconsciously stroke your neck/chin upwards and make smirky faces in your mirror to catch all these hateful manly hairs.

I do this and I see women at stoplights doing this all the time now. But no one clued me in to it as a preteen that it was coming, and that’s rude.
