Too many busy women think that the feminists “have our back”. and they’ll take on our issues without our help. Besides, all too often, their relationships with men leave them battle weary for much else, what with trying to argue away his desire for porn, overly flirtatious behavior toward ALL other women, overtly ogling every pretty woman in the room while dining with us, full on cheating, ….then there is the other continuum of abuse that is wearing in its verbal state, all consuming when they resort to violence….WELL what I’m GETTING at is that ordinary women are wading in a world of misogyny, and NEED to band with the likes of you and demand that the world change its view of us. Our quality of life, and at times our very lives depend on it. By the way, I am NOW married to a saint, so I am not to be perceived as a man-hater, but I live in a nation where the (Google this) “Leading cause of death for pregnant women” is domestic violence murder. Every day three to four more die. (YouTube.com/acctivism007)
I can’t remember how I stumbled into your site, but I wish you all the best in your efforts. I’m a little overwhelmed right now, but I have some activism work to get to too. I’ll be pulling for ya. ONE THING…just a thought—how can we find a way to merge people of faith, and feminism? HUGE progress could be made if there could be a merge.
Not sure if you were expecting feedback from unknown people, but I highly enjoy reading your blog. It has been one of the only truly stimulating reads for me in quite some time. When most people can’t even consider some of the stuff you’re discussing, it gets to be rather depressing for someone who thinks these matters are important. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the web.
