We knew as soon as we gave women the right to vote, things were going to go downhill. Now they are taking our jobs, leaving our children with strangers in daycare, and think they can tell us what to do.
Alabama, Georgia and Missouri are getting it right. They are helping our cause in letting women know who is in charge. They can’t just go and do what they want with their bodies without our permission. This is just the first step.
Next we’ll make sure they can’t get birth control. Next will be a man’s right to work, meaning if a man can do a job currently filled by a woman, he can take her job. And since we all know women have issues with figures, we’ll make sure her husband, or if she is unmarried, her eldest brother or other male relative, will take care of all her finances. It may be a cliché, but if we continue at this pace, we’ll have our women back making a home for us and our children. Our daughters and sons will know the natural order, females obedient to men.
You know who thinks like this? Very insecure men. Very insecure ignorant men.
Isn’t it time women, and men, who are supporters of moms, daughters, aunts, grandmothers, nieces, and women friends, stand up for the rights of all women.
We men do not have to agree on the choices and decisions made by the women in our lives, just as we don’t have to agree with the choices and decisions of the men in our lives. That does not give men the right to tell women what they can and can’t do in their personal and privates lives, and men most definitely do not have the right to say what women can or can’t do with their bodies.
Men, if you love the women and girls in your lives and believe not you, nor any man, should be able to control women and girls, then stand up and say so to all of your elected officials, from the local level all the way to the president.
And women, if you love yourself and the girls in your lives, and believe no man or woman should be able to control you, then stand up and say so to all of your elected officials, from the local level all the way to the president.
Even more important is, when you go to the polls, vote for a man or woman who will lift women and girls up.
Don’t vote for very insecure mnn, very insecure ignorant men. If you do, don’t be surprised if you wake up one day to the above scenario wondering how it happened. But the truth is you will have known, and you did nothing to stop it.
Will you be able to sleep at night knowing you didn’t help stop it?
