Time Out
Posted by janisstrope on December 1, 2008
After considerable thought, I am going to put this blog on hiatus. I simply do not have time for making my original vision come to life. I still think that women must come together, find common ground, and stop sabotaging each other. We need to speak up and stand up to sexism and misogyny and demand better. I hope it happens but I don’t have much faith right now that it will. I still see women writing articles a month after the election, bashing Palin while they wrap themselves in the cloak of “feminist”, because the writers think abortion is the number one cause of feminism, and it doesn’t even make my top 10!
Top 10 Reasons to Embrace the Term Feminism
10. Women are still paid less then men.
9. Reporters and writers can slam women on TV and in print with impunity
8. I’m sick of young women growing up believing this is “just how it is”
7. No woman has ever won a major party nomination for president
6. Only 2 women have EVER been on a major party ticket as a VP candidate
5. Institutionalized sexism and woman-hating defeated Clinton and Palin, with women colluding
4. Women undermine other women more than support them
3. Women are in danger of rape and attack every time they leave their homes. Think I’m over-reacting or kidding?
2. Beating women is still called “domestic violence”, like that makes it understandable/less appalling than what a similar assault on any other person would be called
1. Women together can do anything
