Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsNote to the patriarchy: pissing off cranky old women is not wise. Some of us have
nothing left to lose, and zero f's to give. You do not frighten us. You do not intimidate us. You remind us of young children, overtired and throwing temper tantrums, and we are inclined to deal with you as we do those young ones, on an adult level.
The world has changed beyond your sad, limited ability to cope with it. Those whom you have always looked down on, denigrated, ordered, enslaved, isolated, beaten, starved and killed, are rising up despite all your frantic efforts to maintain your illussory safe and comfortable and in-charge world.
May you never know a moment of peace, comfort, or ease. May your dreams be frightful. May you know dread, and fears, and panic, and terror, all that you have inflicted on others, every moment, waking and sleeping.
I AM WOMAN!! HEAR ME ROAAAAAR!!!!
SO MOTE IT BE.

I gave them the finger as I drove by, but half of them thought I was waving in support.
Some days you feel like you can't win.
But the campaign to set the clock back and put us back in our boxes is doomed. That advanced age of EVERY member of the group protesting today made me realize that.
PS - I'm old, too, but I'm not a troglodite.

The phrase has been taken up by neopagans and they use it in a similar way in their ceremonies and rituals.[3]

That women take it over is a good thing, though, right?
niyad
(113,596 posts)language is a good thing. Just as is reclaiming names, titles, etc. My favourite response, head tilted, puzzled "you say that like it's a bad thing."

So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floatin' like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (you'll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (yeah)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (you'll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar

May all your family interactions be infected with the fear that one of them will out you as a maimer or murderer.
May all your interactions with the Police be fraught with confusion as to what they actually picked you up for. May your whole life revolve around the stupidity of using a gun against another human.

(3,089 posts)Looking forward to being more active here. I've had some career change issues and, as you know, Covid issues. When I here about things like this Texas abortion law it just depresses me and I want to bury mt head in the sand and not deal with it. But that does not help anyone. I am feeling better and I hope you are well also, niyad.
