Okay, so…
I just talked to my granddaughter a little while ago. She said she’s afraid to go out alone. Everything she sees and hears, tells her more women are being raped, or murdered. Men are breaking into houses and not caring who sees them. She said, it’s terrible. So many women are afraid. No place is safe. She said she only goes out when her boyfriend is with her (they live together). She stopped swimming, taking walks or doing any of the things she loves to do.
It makes me sick. Really sick, to hear her say things like that. I’m SO enraged that women are forced, by evil and hateful men, to live like prisoners. Living in constant fear is unhealthy and it KILLS DREAMS. It literally kills females, of course, but no one really seems to care. If they cared, something would be done to STOP it from CONSTANTLY HAPPENING. Fear destroys their innocence, their trust, their freedom and their hopes and DREAMS. FEAR makes the lives of women SMALL.
There was NOTHING I could say to make her feel better without putting her in DANGER. I couldn’t tell her NOT TO BE AFRAID. I couldn’t tell her she would be OKAY. I couldn’t tell her that NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN TO HER. All I could tell her was that I understood and that all women live under the constant threat of violence.
I hate this. Everyone female alive should hate this and even those who are dead should hate this. And every single male, who is not violent and insane, should hate this as well.
This is the world we ALLOW to exist. This is the never ending war between women and men. This is the true and played out hatred of an entire gender, by the other half.

Wheels, gears and cogs…a poem
the wheels
and gears
turn
but we don’t get
any smarter
not about what matters
we build better
THINGS
like guns
and other weapons
instead of building
TRUST
KINDNESS
and
EQUALITY
sadly
I don’t think
our species
is capable
of those things
on a grand scale
we are death
to living things
as the wheels
and cogs
gears
and guns
keep getting made
because that’s
what’s important
to the men in charge
to the men
we have allowed
to threaten
and destroy
all life
on this planet

GENTLEMEN…a poem
the word
kind of defines itself
don’t you agree
GENTLE
men
I know they exist
it’s not as if they’re just a
myth
I had one of my own
and I’ve met a few
at least I think I have
I guess one never knows
for sure
but men who are
GENTLE
are expected
not to hurt
women or children
animals or the land
it seems
however
that
GENTLE
men
don’t seem to be
in positions of power
and they don’t seem to be able to
stop the NON GENTLE
men
from beating and raping
and killing and destroying
EVERYTHING
do you think
that’s just because there
aren’t enough of them
or do you think that
like all the other men
GENTLE
men
don’t care
either
Man…a poem
he was falling apart
like all the others
it was to late
to change the past
he thought he should
feel sorry
for what humankind
had done
but he didn’t feel anything
then he realized
that had been the
problem
all along
no one felt anything
so he stood there
calmly
watching Death
move across
the Earth
and simply waited
for his
turn
Okay, so…choice
Here’s the thing. Anyone with a working brain cell knows that people cannot be stopped from doing what they want to do. Think prohibition. Think anything you like, even speeding. Nothing stops us. All the morons who make the rules do, is drive things underground. Nothing STOPS because they say it should.
Few stopped drinking, during prohibition, but the speakeasies and the mob made a lot of money, of which the government surely got its cut. Prohibition just made a lot of people rich. It also made drinking more exciting and dangerous but it didn’t stop it.
The government will NEVER stop women from having abortions. Before Roe v Wade they had them. They’ve always had them. They will NEVER stop having them and they will die having them, if proper medical care is unavailable, which is the price women are expected to pay for having sex in the first place, even if they are raped. The miserable, ugly, mean, disgusting, hateful, controlling, horrific, males who are in charge of things have no right to tell a woman which medical procedures she can, or cannot have. That’s between a woman and her doctor.
The right wing morons blew up medical clinics last time, even though clients went there to be treated for cancer and other diseases. They harassed doctors, blocking their home driveways and threatening them, as well as their families. They KILLED doctors. Blew up office workers. See, they don’t actually care about the fetus, or life in general, they care ABOUT CONTROLLING WOMEN.
The fewer women who have control over their bodies the fewer threats the miserable morons will have to fear. And really, this is all about fear and freedom. Handmaids Tale was no joke. Margaret Atwood also said, ‘MEN ARE AFRAID WOMEN WILL LAUGH AT THEM AND WOMEN ARE AFRAID MEN WILL KILL THEM.” Well, they will kill them and they won’t care. It’s once again, PUNISHMENT for having sex. The men in charge are immoral human beings, who feel god-like and hand down edicts to the masses as if they have the right to do so.
This country hates women. We are always at war, even if some women have been trained and brainwashed to reject that truth. Everything that happens here proves how much we are despised. We are not in the Constitution and the ERA has to pass in one state at a time, if that state feels like letting it pass. We have no laws that punish men for rape, beating women, killing them, not paying child support, or paying them less for the same work the men do. The things they call laws are as useless as the non-bullying rules in schools. They’re a joke. Men literally get away with murder.
So, hangers and knitting needles will come back. Back alley abortions will return and the ugly, miserable hateful, ratbasterds will sit back and smile at how many of us they kill. Young girls will die. Becky Bell, the teenage girl whose name is on the bracelet I wear, died from an illegal abortion.
MEN DON’T CARE THAT WOMEN DIE THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT CONTROLLING THEM.
Women are abused by the society in which we live, at every turn. Brainwashed into believing that WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING, while men are told they can do as they please.
The first rule of FREEDOM, as far as I’m concerned, is having the right to do what you want to do with YOUR OWN BODY.
THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT OWN US. WE DO NOT BELONG TO THE GOVERNMENT AND THEY DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL US WHAT TO DO WITH OUR BODIES.
Kids will die. NOT THE BOYS, of course, BUT THE GIRLS WILL START DYING AGAIN.
The kids of those who vote to kill R v Wade won’t die. They can get as many abortions as they like because they don’t have to live by the rules and stupid illegal laws their ugly, hateful, disgusting fathers hand down to the masses. Their mothers can have as many as they like as well.
I believe that every woman who dies from an illegal abortion should be placed on the lawn of the White House. Seeing is believing. We aren’t numbers and statistics. We OWN our own bodies.
I made the t-shirt (above) last time they messed with us in ’89. They treat us like cattle because that’s what they believe we are. I’m going to wear my shirt again. I thought I wouldn’t have to do that but I’m getting all my old Choice shirts out AGAIN. Because WOMEN HAVE NO VOICE AND WOMEN HAVE NO RIGHTS.
Poor women are going to have a bad time of it again. They always do but the ugly, disgusting, morons in washington don’t care about poor people, THAT’S WHY POOR PEOPLE EXIST.
MEN NEED TO FIGHT TO KEEP WOMEN AND GIRLS SAFE. But they won’t. They never do. This isn’t their problem. They don’t get pregnant. They get to walk away, like they alway get to walk away. They never die because they are desperate and afraid. NEVER.
NOT ONE SINGLE MALE HAS EVER DIED FROM AN ILLEGAL ABORTION! NOT ONE.
Think about that. Males are making the laws for something that has absolutely NOTHING AT ALL to do with them, or with their bodies.
