Did you march for women today?
Do you want Progressive Thinking Marchers?
Here's input from me:
I am not a "disgrace to women" because I did not support the women's march.
I do not feel I am a "second-class citizen" because I am a woman.
I do not feel my voice is "not heard" because I am a woman.
I do not feel I am not provided opportunities in this life or in America because I am a woman.
I do not feel that I "don't have control of my body or choices" because I am a woman.
I do not feel like I am "not respected or undermined" because I am a woman.
Well ...
I AM a woman.
I can make my own choices.
I can speak and be heard.
I can VOTE.
I can work if I want.
I control my body.
I can defend myself.
I can defend my family.
There is nothing stopping me, to do anything in this world but MYSELF.
I do not blame my circumstances or problems on anything other than my own choices or even that sometimes in life; we don't always get what we want.
I take responsibility for myself.
I can be a mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister, a friend.
I am not held back in life, but only by walls that I choose to not go over which is a personal choice.
Quit blaming.
Take responsibility.
If you want to speak, do so. But do not expect for me, a woman, to take you seriously wearing a pink va-jay-jay hat on your head and screaming profanities and bashing men.
If you have beliefs; speak to me in a kind matter, and I will listen. But do not expect for me to change my beliefs to suit yours. Respect goes both ways.
If you want to impress me, especially in regards to women, then speak on the real injustices and tragedies that affect women in foreign countries that do not have the opportunity or means to have their voices heard.
Saudi Arabia ... women can't drive; no rights and must always be covered from head to toe.
China and India ... infanticide of baby girls.
Afghanistan ... unequal education rights.
The Democratic Republic of Congo ... where rapes are brutal; their women are left to die HIV-infected, and left to care for children alone.
Mali ... where women cannot escape the torture of genital mutilation.
Pakistan ... in tribal areas where women are gang raped to pay for men's crime.
Guatemala ... the impoverished female underclass of Guatemala faces domestic violence, rape and the second-highest rate of HIV/AIDS after sub-Saharan Africa. An epidemic of gruesome unsolved murders has left hundreds of women dead, some of their bodies left with hate messages.
And that's just a few examples:
So when women get together in AMERICA and whine they don't have equal rights, and march in their clean clothes after eating a hearty breakfast, it's more like a vacation away that they have paid for to get there...
This WOMAN does not support it.

Wouldn't be nice if this was just a fantasy?
