Life The Bullying Tactics of Hillary Clinton and the Group-Think Feminists
First the radical feminists came for the conservative women, but you do not speak up because you aren’t conservative. Then they came for the pro-life women, but you did not speak up because you aren’t pro-life. And now they’re coming for the rest of you non-conformists. Welcome to purgatory.
