In Memory Of~Betty Friedan

We're all in it together.When did being male make me less human.i for one didn't leave a trail of pregnent women behind.My son was diaper trained when i met his mother.i now have two beautiful grandchildren.Thank woman my wife didn't abort him when times were tough.Abortion is only a bandaid for deeper economic issues.It has nothing to do with woman's rights.Actually i got my morals from my mom..She made a career out of teaching the mentally handicapped and was a strong opponent of abortion.Did i say she was also a woman?

 

Ditto shameless and sloth. Legislating morality is something usually practiced by the CHRISTIAN MORAL MAJORITY....... Not exactly your common HIPPY thought process. I think we have been invaded. Ouch! Fire bad!

CHRISTIAN MORAL MAJORITY====Aint those the same guys who are all about using war to get what they want?

 

Sloth Outta Here!

 

don't accuse me of being a christian war monger.Let me put it another way.Nothing makes killing another human being wrong except our morals.i don't know if they are christian morals or what.i didn't make them up,somebody else did.The same thing for stealing,child abuse,woman abuse and on and on.Now if i decided these morals didn't work for me,would i have a right to do whatever i wanted.It's my body and it has a right to your stuff.Actually the biggest liberator of woman alive today was g.w.(groan) when he invaded Iraq.Vaginal castration as bad as it is was nothing compared to how some of the women in that part of the world were and are treated.Not sure how abortion's supposed to stop that.i was raised with strong women.Like i said we're all in this together,men,women,and babies...

 

this topic was about Betty Freidan and i feel i should wish her well on her journey.She did give many women a voice.

So now Sloth is going to assault me with a baseball bat. Well!


What more can one expect from someone who believes in killing the unborn and calling it a "right"?

Didn't Hitler kill the Jews and call it a "duty"?

BTW, I worked in a mental hospital(Norristown State Hospital, in Norristown, PA) from 1992-1993 on the maintenance crew and was in every ward doing work. Sometimes, I would leave the building with tears in my eyes, but I didn't want to euthanize them as you obviously would.

Also, incest is not spelled "insist".

Finally, I'm not a member of The Christian Moral Majority and attend no church--I'm merely a human being who believes in morality.

Anyhow, George Bush will soon end this baby-Holocaust.

How do you like that?

 

Drink one for me...

 

:sunglasse now this is really something

 

My generation benefits from the examples of women who have struggled to be recognized as people who are moral and intelligent enough to make decisions about their own bodies and their own lives. Women's rights has come a long way since when Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, and it's mostly due to people like you, Shameless, Sloth and Earthmother. Still, there are some women who allow themselves to be dominated by the men in their lives (or the men in Congress), and so suffer through painful abortions and unwanted pregnancies in secret, or abuse from husbands or boyfriends or fathers. And there will probably always be men and women who don't think that other people are smart or moral enough to make important decisions for themselves without interference from the government, or the perceived moral majority. Women still have a long way to go, but I'm glad that my generation has the guidance and examples of women like Betty Friedan, and all of the other intellectual, fearless, beautiful, assertive, creative and dignified feminist women =D

 

a struggle we all face,even the unborn.

 

Sloth Outta Here!

oh and welcome freaky lady..sorry for the short stuff but i am typing one handed..the other is under my blanket, 8' here this a.m. cold all day.but glad to see you. and the art reminds me of a fellow artist i know...lovely

 

this is good a place as any

 

Geez...I seldom venture anymore into the "public forums prefering the personals as usually much more free from abusers of all levels

Being a man... well not all come from the same places
And beleiving in womans rights in the Now, over the rights of what mayor may not be - the right to say what happens in their bodies - Abortion - shit nobody like it and when we have better means we use it... but sometimes a woman makes a choice and often is pushed into it byothers... And sometimes the worst thing that can be said is that woman are the real upholders of the status quo the real educators, the real movers and shakers - and sadly the ones who really help continue us on this sad road of annihilation of the species.- and I have even worse to say about man
Generalizations never work - AND when we consider individuals I have little but praise for all when they follow their own drummer rather than marchin lockstep with any "majority"

Buttos get pushed every day - don't mean we have to respond in kind ??

Now usually I just lurk around and keep y mouth shut - don't know what happened this morning. hmmm.....

Think highly of you all for sayin your piece, just wish we could spell it peace
And even during the free love season many did not partake - or maybe it was just a few - some of us who were called hippy were much more seekers, trying to find our own Way within, rather than following the popular crowd of the day.

But that's OK ma....- I never did fit in much of anywhere - just happy to be able to call you friends, and not takin it personal i don't have to bleed all over you
- Have a great day
lovin you all
Kepp on a growin - really don't have to be painful - an be a joyous project - but sometimes being man (generic for the species - sorry ladies) maybe the bumps and falls make it easier to remember - just that some of the mistakes are pretty damn hard to get over, and the ramification of the mistakes being made to the planet could well spell our doom.
Change she is a comin
praise the dear lady earth - that she will survive and continue - though man may not -

o I just love the puns we can make with this man as a species thing - we can lay it all at man's doorstep hehehee.... I am not man - I am Spirit who has incarnated in this Now as a man for the lessons it I can draw better to myself within that orientation. As a woman ... well you'd best not fuck with me because you'd end up a hurtin. I will be no ones victim - especially not my own !

Ok Ok See y'all in the by and Bye
