Hi. [View all]

I'm yardwork. I hope that it is ok for me to post here. I started posting in a thread here yesterday and ended up interacting with several folks, so I thought I'd tell you a little bit about myself. I'm not very familiar with your group.

I'm a woman. I have two sons. I was married to a man for many years, until I realized that I am a lesbian. He and I had an amicable divorce and we get along very well. My sons get along with their step-mother, their step-brother, and my partner. I love my sons and my partner. I can say that I love my former husband, too. He is a wonderful person, and I'm glad that he is the father of my children. I am very lucky.

I am a feminist. To me this means working to achieve a world where women have equal rights with men. I believe that we have a long way to go in that area. I also know that we have a long way to go to achieve equal rights for all people - women, men, and children. I know that there are a lot of men in the U.S. and the world who do not have human rights. I don't think that men should suffer in order for women to achieve equal rights. I think that improving human rights for women will help everybody. The goals all complement one another.
