“It is not in keeping with the nature of philosophy, especially in the field of pure reason, to take pride in a dogmatic procedure, and to deck itself out with the title and insignia of mathematics, to whose ranks it does not belong, though it has every ground to hope for a sisterly union with it. Such pretensions are idle claims which can never be satisfied, and indeed must divert philosophy from its true purpose, namely, to expose the illusions of a reason that forgets its limits, and by sufficiently clarifying our concepts to recall it from its presumptuous speculative pursuits to modest but thorough self-knowledge.” — Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason (via philosophybits)

Women always make up more than half of the electorate in national elections.
But when it comes to donating to presidential candidates, they usually account for a minority of donations, according to the available donor data. And this year is no different — at least, thus far — according to a recent analysis from the Center for Responsive Politics, a think tank that tracks money in elections. That group attempted to use donors’ names to analyze donations by gender. They found that men thus far account for around 57% of donations to presidential candidates.
“One way we think about this is thinking about the activation of women — in what way do they channel their political enthusiasm or engagement?” says Kelly Dittmar, assistant research professor at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “And it hasn’t been money. That hasn’t been a primary route for them to do so.”
Based on the data we have thus far for 2019, relatively few candidates have received most of their money from women. Here are a few of the lessons we can glean from the center’s data.

Up now on my eBay! Rare 1970′s anime production cel from Toei animation! This cel is from Starzinger and features Don Hakka! Also up for grabs: my superheroine comic collection (70’s-80’s stuff), random Radio Comix books and various indie comics! My house is super small, and I am still selling off thirty years’ worth of collectibles to raise money for ongoing back taxes & various upcoming large expenses, so every little bit helps. Thanks for looking & sharing!
