There’s A Glass Ceiling That MUST BE SHATTERED…. OMG Smash The DOG Patriarchy!

I don’t know if you realize this, but it’s hard out there for a bitch.

People are SUPER sexist towards female dogs, and it’s TIME WE SHATTER THE DOG GLASS CEILING.

You think I’m kidding? Well… I am. But these weirdos aren’t…

Dear God Almighty, give me the strength to not QUIT THIS IDIOTIC WORLD.

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS NONSENSE.

This is a real headline:

THIS CANNOT POSSIBLY BE REAL LIFE.

Someone call Hillary Clinton!

Anyway… here’s what they’ve got to say, because I KNOW you’re curious.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – After the German shepherd Rumor won the top prize at last year’s Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York, she had her first litter of puppies and retired from competition, like many female show dogs.

By contrast, most top male show dogs can keep competing for years, and it is no coincidence that they also win “Best in Show” in the prestigious annual competition far more often than females, breeders and handlers said as they prepared for this year’s show, which opens Monday, Feb. 12 in New York.

“Now she won’t show again, she’s done,” said Gail Miller Bisher, a spokeswoman for the Westminster Kennel Club, referring to Rumor. “But males can keep going. They can be used as stud and continue showing and keep their coat and keep their shape of body and all that.”

Wow. This is SO Patriarchal. Why can’t the males stay home and shed their coat?!

WHY MUST WE PUT THESE GENDER NORMS ON DOGS. SEX IS JUST A CONSTRUCT. THIS IS TERRIBLE.

Female dogs, known in pure-bred circles as “bitches,” have snared Best in Show at Westminster 39 times since the award was first given in 1907. Males, known simply as “dogs,” have been victorious 71 times, almost twice as often.

A dog’s peak age for competition is 3 to 5 years old, which also happens to be prime breeding age for females, said Kimberly Calvacca, a professional handler and breeder from Westbury, New York.

The Best in Show winner crowned Tuesday night takes home a trophy. But the real reward is the increased value on the breeding circuit, which is one reason victory can end a female’s competitive career.

“People don’t like to campaign females because they don’t like to jeopardize their breeding program,” said Calvacca. “Males can be used to stud anytime, and still show and breed at the same time.”

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED A GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED PUPPY LEAVE PROGRAM BECAUSE BITCHES SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE IT ALL.

This is dog patriarchy at its worst.

As a consequence, females are less likely to compete at Westminster, the second-oldest U.S. sporting event after the Kentucky Derby. Ahead of this year’s opening day on Monday, there were 1,220 female competitors and 1,699 male challengers enrolled in most categories, including vying to be named top dog on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.

A female competitor’s “heat” cycle brings changes in temperament and hormones that can also hurt its chances of winning the world-renowned show for pure-bred canines.

Many handlers and owners will not show a female during its cycle, which comes about every six months, because “they’re moody,” said Wendy Kellerman, a handler and breeder from Hauppauge, New York.

OMG OMG OMG OMG HOW DARE THEY CALL BITCHES MOODY?!

This is EXACTLY the kind of sexism and MISOGYNY that lost Hillary the election!

THEY CALLED HER MOODY, TOO!

In the end, a male Best in Show winner can bring a bigger payoff than a female because a male can breed many times, and even have its sperm frozen, while females can produce only so many litters and puppies, said WKC’s Bisher.

“The males obviously have an easier go of it, whereas the girls having a litter is stressful for everybody,” she said.

WE MUST STOP THIS INJUSTICE NOW!!!!

My hope is that this is all just a teaser set up for Best In Show II: Smash The Dog Patriarchy… because how AWESOME would that be?

I’m thinking I know who would be the Patriarchy Smashers:

YAAASSSSS.
