Women's Rights & Issues

it bowled me over when she thanked me for fighting for our rights as women back in the "old days." As a veteran, I've gotten used to people saying "thank you for your service" and anymore, it just sounds like mouthing words. Maybe it's just the cynic in me. But this young woman was so sincere, and it was (to me, at least) even so much more important. I'll not soon forget the encounter, and to think it all started with my BP being high! (LOL) It just shows you can start to have an impact on someone with the least little encounter!

I agree with whomever said many of these young women haven't really sat down and thought what it was like for their mothers and grandmothers, and what it could mean for them going forward if T gets back into office. She was sufficiently blown away by not being able to have a credit card... and jobs not being available to women because of possible fetus-interruptus... that it did have an impact on her. From here, it will travel to her group. Hopefully from there, it will travel to groups her friends are involved with that go beyond her. THIS is how you build a movement. And it taught me to keep my eyes and ears open for the least kind of opening. OUR TRUTH means something to these young women. All of us minorities need to promote our rights, but more than that, we need to stick together and stick up for each other. And we need to be willing to pick up the banner for the other, while they pick up our banner. That's the way we knock these cruel, evil people off their thrones! (IMNSHO)
