Token - updated
Not a specific woman. And nothing about the merits of who will be chosen.
No, there will be a woman on the ten dollar bill because she is a woman.
With one move, the Imperious Leader’s administration tokenizes half the human race.
Because the reason she will be on the bill is because she is a woman.
Not because of what she said.
Not because of what she did.
And certainly not because she is as worthy as a Real American Man™.
No, the paternalistic, compassionate, powerful government will elevate a woman.
Because everyone knows she couldn’t have gotten there on her own.
No matter who the politicos pick, she’s always going to be known as a token woman.
She will be put on the bill because she’s a woman. She has no other worth to the Imperious Leader.
They say as much.
❝❝The debate over who should be the face of the new $10 bill could become part of a wider conversation about the social and economic progress of women. Selecting just one person for such a symbolic role may involve trade-offs, forcing officials to decide which major milestone in American history to highlight.❞❞
They’ve literally reduced women to tokens to be spent on the political appearance.
Why should any American woman tolerate that?
