It’s election time in U.S.A.
The candidate
who sees women as sex objects
cannot win.
In America of 2016
these views are intolerable,
except maybe
in MTV music videos,
cartoon superheroes,
the ads of your next
Caribbean vacation, Calvin Klein jeans, or
Axe deodorant,
and when keeping up with the
Kardashians.
Are the results out yet?
