Clockwise Cat Strikes Back

It's the same kind of thinking toward Planned Parenthood. Just mention the word,
'abortion" and some people go batshit crazy. They don't see anything beyond that point or
don't even want to hear the truth.
The women of the 60s and 70s often found their sexual liberation unfulfilling. They had
to deal with the increased risk of pregnancy. They had to deal with no economic equality
or security. Women ended up bearing the costs associated with pregnancy, motherhood,
and abortion, and often were forced to turn to welfare to support their families.
Planned Parenthood offers choices. Gee, what a concept--that women have choices.
The movements of the 1960s and 70s all did something, made changes, but I am not sure
they did enough. It's not enough because women keep getting knocked down--over and
over. We keep getting labeled and pushed to the back of the room. We're whores, sluts,
loud-mouthed bitches. We're men-hating feminists.
Bullshit. It's all bullshit.
My idea of feminism is doing away with all the stereotypes. I am an intelligent human
being first. I don't have a grudge against men. I don't want to be a man. I love being a
woman.
Feminism means educating both men and women about the proper treatment and respect
of one another. Why do we even have to continue to fight for the right to control our
OWN bodies? Think about that.
One of my greatest journeys in life has been overcoming an insecurity that never really
belonged to me in the first place and learning to truly not give a shit about all things that
don't matter.
Nothing really matters until we ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in all states. That is
when change will come and they will stop using us as pawns. When we finally have the
ERA in place this shit will finally stop.
I want our movement back. A movement that is huge. Something powerful, hard to stop.
I want a movement into love. I want a movement in which we can all inhabit this planet
together as brothers and sisters, in peace. A movement in which you learn to love
