Let's talk, ladies!

I love the sentiment behind these lyrics!

I'm sensing a cultural turning. I think we are beginning to understand that men are are also hurt in and by the patriarchy. Evident in a thousand ways..you know them. I was recently very moved by the award winning show Adolescence on Netflix. It goes to the heart of how both young men and women - boys and girls especially - but, indeed all of us, are hurt by the "manoverse."

I hope my sense is correct!

…but women have been gutted already, healthcare funding, the roe v wade debacle and this doesn't even count the gutting the second T administration has carried out. Women in the military, government jobs and as follows, private jobs are being taken from women. Our right to vote has been threatened and more. I’ll weep for men when we get our rights back. When women get full citizenship back! All women in the US are a heartbeat from being hostages. Sorry but women fought for the rights that have been ripped from them and most males have stood silently by and done nothing to stop the attack from the right. Yet….the comedians are given full support! Im for equal rights and equal protection under the law but sick and tired of always being pushed to the back of the line.
