WTF??? What's the deal? Do they think a woman can't handle it?

Why is there a need for a man to be on the back of Harriet Tubman's twenty?

Andrew Jackson gets moved to the back and the new girl gets the front?

How about we get the slave owner off the bill entirely? Is that too much to ask . . . . . . or is that the price to get a woman of color on the front?

That's just ridiculous.

And why was it even necessary to keep Jackson at all? Women are second-class citizens, even on the currency.

Lighten up just a little. We're on the same side. The writing style should have been a clue for you.
