I wonder why conversations about U.S. specific sexism and misogyny always/often turn into conversation about global sexism and misogyny and focusing on issues "over there".
I still contend that women/girls ARE *still* seen as baby makers, and I also still contend that they're groomed to be such the second they come out of the womb in this country...this one, right c'here.
I also still contend that this originally stems from thousands of years of religious tyranny, and that it is fully perpetuated in children's television/advertising/clothing options/etc.
I would also like to add that the Sacred Mother b.s. is what keeps many women covered in burqas and such (which many people on this site find offensive to women, yet some of those same people don't see how we do the same thing in this country to 'protect' our women).
Dylan...intrigued by many things today
P.S. If someone would please change the weather in Austin to something more pleasant, I would immediately get offline
