Gendering

Two candidates ran,
one, a crass white ass,
the other, a woman that could
not be loved.
Yes her resume was of great
consequence,
(if only it had been a man's
but that is anathema to the hillbilly mind).
She should have been elected
to the highest office of the land,
but alas, she wasn't 'likeable' enough.

She couldn't be likeable you fools!
She wasn't permitted the room to be likeable,
not in these times!
A woman must be tougher than a man,
a woman must be intellectually stronger than a man,
but never, NEVER, affront the fragile psyche
of the not so sophisticated first world male;
and to be Secretary of State?
— double it if you are a woman.
And people say she wasn't likeable enough.

So now we have that hillbilly billionaire
running the world
and a civil war of sorts exists
between the hearts and minds
of America's two solitudes.
