This postmenopausal grandmother is happy to see that Taylor Swift, self-professed childless cat lady, has declared her intention of voting for Kamala Harris.

We’ve been given this one life and intend to enjoy it to the fullest now that we’ve been liberated from the burden of childbearing, childrearing, and child caring — caring for and rearing everyone around us #postmenopausalwomen

More about #Roman Priestesses

An ancient priesthood of #Hera at Olympia involved “sixteen elderly women” (Connelly, 45), based on a “board of #FemaleElders once chosen from sixteen cities” (Connelly, 45) who negotiated “#peace between two cities’ (Connelly, 45) who had been at war.
 
“Priestesses seem to have initiated and negotiated #laws, #amendments, and penalties for transgressions” (Connelly, 214). Some priestesses wielded enormous influence: the Pythia of Delphi “could move scores of people to action” (Connelly, 219), and a #Pythia “is credited with having provided #Lykourgos with the #Spartan system of government”.
