i have been sober a very longggggggg time. first i learned i had to change my thinking. instead feeling sorry for myself, i needed to get out in the world and see what i could give back. do with whatever you want with that thought.

I also have seen women make bad choices. Putting the needs of children first often means the mother convinces herself that something will be OK when it isn’t.

I know the choice of not eating for my principles was an immensely different decision before I had children.

Models and actresses are the ones that allowed themselves to be filmed and photo’d like this with no thoughts to the consequences of their actions for women.

Madonna/Cher were the ones leading the pack. They thought it made them look like they were the one’s in control of their body, their sexuality. It didn’t then. It still doesn’t today. It makes women look like sex toys, objects. Not humans or even equals.

Women have had to do whatever for their families because they saw those paths as their options. They also made choices to have children despite being uneducated, unmotivated, and unemployed because they could claim welfare as their “career’.

What I am speaking to is choice AND responsibility.

After spending decades in the public school systems spanning from the late ’70’s when the dumbing down of school curriculum was beginning to 2003, I saw what avenues were opening up and what wasn’t. What I did see was the rise of the “Victim Class” rather than the rise of the “Independent Self determined Class”. If one more counselor, with their steaming mug of tea, comes to the staff of a school and excuses behavior in the name of victimhood, the complete demise of self determination in imminent.

So the more it is promoted that women are victims of someone else instead of their own choices instead of requiring them or anyone to be responsible for their own choices, we are going to continue the vicious circles.

There were many times I had to choose between eating and buying gas to get to work the last week of the month. Don’t tell me about sacrifices or hard roads. I never thought I was a victim. No, I thought I needed to make better choices and be self determining. That’s my point.

Hey women can make a lot of money by baring it all! What? Drop the clothes, hang around a photo shoot, make tens of thousands? Why not? Blame the men! Blame the men! Isn’t it possible that women make those choices to pose with their own brain power?

I guess you missed the part with the Fortune 500 statistics. And the part with women heading up families. When you have to feed your kids you do what pays and if people are blocking your path upward, your only direction is down.

Sorry you don’t get it.

There is probably a study out there saying Moldova has more “equitable” healthcare too, but I had the misfortune of receiving stitches there and it was a do-over the instant I got back home, with tetanus shot to boot. So much for universal care.

I can immediately solve your teen pregnancy issue, as well as drastically reduce infant mortality. We could simply make fetuses citizens at conception. If mothers didnt take proper care of them, mothers could be detained for the duration of the pregnancy. There. Fixed. Then we could Norplant all girls at puberty and remove the Norplant at 20. There. Fixed. No more teen pregnancy. But at the cost of the rights of women and girls.

I agree that women are always at the bottom of whatever society they live in, but watch where you get your information and which problems you wish to own and fix in the name of feminism.

Our standards were dropped in order to make all feel accepted. We didn’t ask anything except for everyone to be liked. We embraced the negative because OMG someone might be offended! It’s okay to express yourself as a gang member or a thug because Oh God you’re such a victim! Just ask Rev. Wright or Willian Ayers! WWWWAAAAHHHHHH! Where are the warm fuzzies and cookies?!

No one can get a promotion in the New Haven fire department because those with extra skin pigmentation for whatever reason didn’t score high enough on the test. Everyone loses. But, by God, we’ll all bend over in order to be “fair”!

Let’s subvert photos of women because it’s one of the last bastions of freedom to express without ramifications. It sells, sells, sells! Our standards of how we view women fell with everything else. Of course it would. We chose to push the down button so that everyone would be equal without effort. Choosing to push the up button in the elevator would have required the victims to do something called helping themselves.

This is what we have. Do you like the results?

Maybe WE are now the REAL 3rd World Banana Republic, ya think?
