Please celebrate responsibly!
Seriously, I was thinking about this all weekend.
I realized that this a political movement that is splintered so deeply. For every active feminist, there's a Phyllis Schlafly or Laura Schlesinger trying to undo the progress that's been made. There has been one seminal piece of women's legislation (Roe v. Wade) that people have been working to systematically dismantle since it's been law. The Supreme Court is being assembled to specifically undermine this ruling.
Insurance will cover Viagra, but not bith control. Teen pregnancy rates are on the rise. Pharmacists can claim moral reasons not to dispense Plan B to scared, young women. Sexist language has crept into the vernacular so stealthily that people don't even recognize it.
When I look around our cities, where are the Margaret Sanger statues? Where are the Susan B. Anthony or Elizabeth Cady Stanton Boulevards? No, as feminsts age, they are dismissed and marginalized.
It worries me.

Roe v. Wade has been such a vital piece of legislation for the women's movement, though not so good for the unborn females but hey. :mental:

I could really go on and on about how the current women's rights movement would be an embarrassment to those who began the original movement, if they were alive today. The current movement is all about trying to dominate men (that's my personal view of it), rather than actual equality.
But I really would rather have my blood pressure stay low, so that's it in a nutshell for me. :p

Would that it were actually legislated rather than bestowed via judicial dictat.

What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?
Nothing, you've already told her f'n twice.

That's okay, Kevin, my husband laughed at both of these jokes. He's a pretty good guy too!

A- Who cares? :lmao:

If you have be made aware of the contributions of certain people by shoving it down your throat for a month. Then apparently, they haven't really contributed that much, or else you would notice it on your own. IMO.
