hager

As a cis-gendered female living here in the great land of Aotearoa, I am going to go vote next Saturday. I will not be harassed, I will drive myself there (probably) and I will choose who I want to run this country. My vote means the same as the kabillionaire that lives in Remuera, as well as the person living in poverty across town in Otara.

This is democracy.

My sisters in Saudi Arabia will only have this right from next year (having only been “given” it from 2011) and, no, they will not be driving themselves there.
