Seahag Feminist Jessica Valenti Connects The Concept Of ‘Hard Work’ To Racism

If you’re still not familiar with repugnant feminist hag Jessica Valenti, allow me to introduce you. She’s triggered by the term “partial birth abortion.” She doesn’t see the difference between giving birth and donating a kidney.

If #MarchforLife folks believe in sacrificing bodily integrity for ‘life’, where are the signs calling for forced kidney donations?

Same thing.

She really loves abortion. Like a lot. She encourages women to vote with their ladyparts. She also wants free tampons, because #equality. She currently writes for a bunch of sites like the Guardian and Marie Claire. And pro-tip: Never stand too close to her on any sort of public transportation, because she’ll totally stalk your social media accounts over your shoulder and tweet about her findings and somehow make it a lesson on “passive sexism.” 

There’s your brief recap.

To completely understand the nature of this insufferable feminist, you really need to go to her Twitter feed. Today’s nonsensical rambling should go down in history as one of the dumbest diatribes on the entire internet.

Basically, Valenti is upset because Sen. Ben Sasse suggested that parents have their kids work over the summer, because it builds character. We should instill the value of hard work in the next generation (not sure if there’s any hope for my generation) and encourage them to go out and do things of value– read, play a sport, help someone with a project. Anything.

Cue perpetually offended Jessica Valenti.

As someone who had a job starting at 13 out of necessity, lemme tell you: it’s not that great https://t.co/hnVBLI1wZJ

Yes, I learned a great work ethic. I also watched HS & college friends do better in school & develop interests that would shape their lives

I had to turn down unpaid internships that would have been great for my resume, and spent hrs I could have been studying working instead

I used to feel SUPER defensive about this (especially as a parent) & insisted I would want my kid to pay for their own edu

Because it’s easier to make this about pride rather than admit that my more privileged peers ended up with a better edu & experience

So yeah, work ethic is good. But when Republicans say young people need to work harder, I think we know which young people they mean

There it is. This is about RACISM! OBVIOUSLY that’s what Sasse was getting at. Republicans just want poor minority children to work while privileged white people (yes, they’re ALL privileged FYI) have their mommies and daddies pay for their schooling while they study really hard and get good paying jobs that will allow them to continue to oppress the minorities who started working young.

That’s the mind of a liberal for ya.

I grew up in a solid middle class family. My parents had no financial help from their parents when they got married and had me. They struggled. They weren’t rich. My dad was in a road band and quickly made the decision to let that go, because he wanted to be a constant for his small family. My mom worked whatever jobs she could, and no. They weren’t glamorous. As we I grew up, things changed and I watched my parents climb up the ladder. Nothing was handed to them. They worked their butts off for everything they have, and I admire their work ethic and determination. My parents made a conscious effort to instill those values in me and my siblings as we grew up.

One of my first jobs was weed wacking for my dad. I did a terrible job, but my dad was determined to teach me a lesson in hard work. When I turned 16, I got my first “official” job at women’s gym. I watched kids in the nursery, did laundry and cleaned off sweaty gym equipment. It wasn’t a bad first job. And as much as I’d like to say I understood the value of a dollar before that job, I can’t. I didn’t. I’d buy a Starbucks frap and think, “This was almost an hour of work!”

Throughout college, I did my time working in retail. If anything, that added fuel to the fire. Every time I’d complain about school, my dad would say, “Well, you can always drop out and work in retail your entire life.”

Nothing shut me up faster.

I learned a lot working those crappy teenage jobs. I remember those days– waking up at 6:30 a.m., sitting through classes from 8 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., running to the car, driving straight to work, counting down until 9:30, getting home at 10, eating dinner, having a shower and going to sleep.

I hated those days with every ounce of my being, but I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I needed them and learned so many life lessons.

Shame on Valenti for making this about something it’s not.
