Women Say No To Abuses From Conservatives And Male Partners

More women need to take up the mantra: "How can I hear what you say when what you are keeps ringing in my ear?" If they did, fewer women would love and sleep with men who do not respect them, invade their personal space, deprive them of their personal rights, and abuse them. And fewer women would vote for politicians who do the same. Sadly and inexplicably American women continue to vote for right wing conservative politicians who are active participants in the rampant GOP war on women and who pointedly refuse to support the best interest of women, especially...

Women Are the Key To Human survival On Earth

The survival of the human race cannot rest in the hands of men. If the human race will escape extinction, then a successful destiny for our species must rest in the hands of women. On the surface, placing the mortal fate of our race in the hands of women seemingly makes the redemption of our species even more of an impossible task, and our eventual extinction a fate we cannot avoid. With few exceptions, for most of Earth's history, men have forced women, both young and old, to serve both secondary and inferior roles to men--as inferior companions, compliant sexual... Read more →
