I have a hard time putting it together. Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing has been a fog on a week that has infuriated me. I was scrolling Instagram and EA Sports posted about the women’s players’ ratings in the upcoming release of FIFA 21. I made the mistake of reading the comments, and they made my blood boil. “99 in kitchen skills.” “Who cares.” “99 in sandwich making.” These were among many quotes by men disparaging the inclusion of women in the game. I had a lengthy rant I was going to post about, but I’m subdued because of the Notorious RBG. Tonight, she is my inspiration. I could have picked any of her memorable quotes, but I am using this particular one, because it shows her humility and grace in such an eloquent way.
I look forward to the day we have real equality for everyone, and we move beyond the fights over fundamental human rights.
