"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured." That quote, often attributed to American author Mark Twain, describes the modern Affluent White Female Urban Leftist (AWFUL) movement perfectly. The AWFULs are angry, and I have no idea why.
Well, that's not entirely true. I have an idea why, which I'll elaborate on shortly, but to set context for this, I need to share this eardrum-shattering video of how AWFULs in America marked International Women's Day yesterday. They went out in public to scream and "let their rage out."

The Left loves to lecture us on privilege, especially "white privilege," and yet you'll find no demographic more privileged than the AWFUL class. They live in the freest country in the world, at a time when life could not be easier for them. But perhaps comfort breeds complacency, and the historically illiterate AWFULs have no context for which to compare their perceived hardships.
Looking back in time, it was clear that American women faced real struggles at one point. From the 1840s to the 1860s, women who traveled the 2,000-mile Oregon trail faced death from diseases like cholera and dysentery. They gave birth without medical care, walked for miles behind the wagons, and faced threats from weather, Indian tribes, and accidents.
“I would make a brave effort to be cheerful and patient until the camp work was done. Then starting out ahead of the team and my men folks, when I thought I had gone beyond hearing distance, I would throw myself down on the unfriendly desert and give way like a child to sobs and tears, wishing myself back home with my friends and chiding myself for consenting to take this wild goose chase," wrote Lavina Porter, one of those women.
Not long after, women faced the horrors and struggles of the Civil War, including widespread poverty, food shortages, and the deaths of husbands, fathers, and sons. Women had to run the farms, businesses, and households while the men went to war. And while those men had the harder job, today's AWFULs wouldn't be able to last a day if they had to step up during a time of war. Thousands of women served as nurses or aides on the battlefield, witnessing the horrors of war firsthand.
From the late 1800s to the early 1900s, many working-class women endured brutal labor conditions in an industrializing nation. This included 12 to 14-hour days, dangerous factories, and low pay. In 1911, 146 people — most of them women — died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Some of them were just teenage girls.
In the 150 years-plus since those times, American women have obtained the right to vote, they can hold jobs, get lines of credit, and make decisions without needing the approval of their fathers or husbands. They have the technology that makes the hard labor of the past, including housework, as easy as pushing a button. Medical advancements have eradicated many of the diseases that killed us, and advancements in childbirth have made having babies far less dangerous.
As a woman, there is no place on earth I'd rather be than here in America in 2026. I know how good I have it. So why don't these women? Well, it's because they've been told they need to have rage, and many of them are genuinely angry because they've been lied to and misled by the Democratic Party and the American Left. They're also too proud to realize and admit that, of course.
But the Left has told women they don't need husbands or children. In fact, the Left makes a point of telling women their liberation comes from how easily and often they can abort their offspring. Democratic Congressional loser Aftyn Behn even said that women who get married and have children are guilty of uphold "deeply patriarchal structures." When women do choose to have babies, they get attacked as Second Lady Usha Vance and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt — both of whom are expecting babies this year — have been.
The Left also tells women to go to the office and work 40, 50, or 60 hours a week to find fulfillment. For some women, that does it. Even that isn't devoid of outrage-bait, however, because the Left then tells these women they're getting paid less than their male counterparts. That wage-gap myth has long been debunked, but why let facts get in the way of a good narrative?
But for many women, there's a void that's filled only by family and, far too often, those women only realize it when their biological clocks have expired and long after eligible men have married better women.
Then they tell these women they are victims. It tells them they're victims of the "patriarchy" which, as the Left defines it, doesn't exist. It tells these women Republicans are going to take away their right to vote, as they are with the lies they're pedaling about the SAVE America Act. It tells them Republicans are going to outlaw birth control and tampons, too, as they did when Mitt Romney ran for President. It tells them Republicans are going to turn America into Gilead, where women are forced to get pregnant and have babies while chained to the kitchen stove.
To put things into even more stark contrast, we don't even need to look back through American history to see how fortunate this rage-filled AWFULs really are. In Afghanistan, women aren't able to work, they have no legal rights, they cannot get an education and they don't have access to medical care. In Iran, women are jailed, raped, and beaten for showing their hair. In other countries, rape, abuse, and a denial of basic legal protections is the reality for far too many women.
So when these women go out in public to scream out their rage, the rest of us need to see this for what it is: a performative political stunt carried out by incredibly spoiled people who have no concept of reality. The AWFULs who are so angry have no idea how good they've got it. The toughest thing they'll ever face is the fact that Donald Trump was once their president.
Forgive me if I don't pull out my violin for them.
