Women's Organizations Get Thousands of Donations in Response to Gaetz's Bizarre "Overeducated Women" Tweet


     Matt Gaetz is part of the Sedition Caucus, or, as it should now be called, the Sexual Deviant Caucus. There's Lauren Boebert, whose husband is a registered sex offender; Jim Jordan, who, as an assistant wrestling coach, covered up the sexual abuse of his students by the head coach; Madison Cawthorn, the lingerie-wearing, crotch-groping, naked gay sex-having, cocaine-orgy attending representative from North Carolina who has been accused of sexual assault by a sizable chunk of the women he went to college with; and then Matt Gaetz, who is currently under federal investigation for sex trafficking. 

     Gaetz, who, again, literally raped an underaged girl, celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade by stating that it was usually "overeducated" women who were unhappy and came home to cats and Ramen noodles who were upset that Roe v. Wade was being overturned. Of course, Gaetz has never had sex consensually, so women being "overeducated" makes it harder for him to drug or pay women to take his two inches. That's not even the only white guy from Florida who made a similar statement. Senator Marco Rubio, for example, wondered how people could get pregnant if it was women who got pregnant: well, Senator Rubio, it helps to think of women as people.

     Still, it was Gaetz's comment that got more attention and Gaetz's comment that served as the inspiration for one activist to start a website: overeducatedwomen.com. Complete with inspirational quotes by Malala Yousafzai and even old African proverbs, it starts off with a direct rebuttal of Mr. Gaetz; "Sorry, Matty, but there is no such thing as 'over'-educated women. It then provides descriptions of and direct links to established organizations that advance women's rights. These include Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Malala Fund, the National Women's Law Center, Girls Who Code, and the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center.

     This site has gotten viral attention on social media, with thousands of people making donations to the organizations listed above in figures that we'll never be able to count exactly but will likely number in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Women's groups and Democratic candidates have gotten tens of millions of dollars in donations since the Roe v. Wade case was leaked. I'm calling on Americans to make it $1 billion so that we can elect pro-choice politicians, codify Roe v. Wade into law, expand abortion rights in states where they are safe, and fight like hell to defend them in states where they are under attack. Again, that's overeducatedwomen.com. You have a voice, you have the power to choose which direction our nation goes in, and the only real option we have is forward.
