11. WOW! I just finished reading the whole article!

For the first time in what feels like forever, passion and fury were being loudly, proudly given in a full-throated voice, on behalf of women – women as moral actors; women as citizens with rights, health, bodies, freedoms; women as people with families and economic concerns.


It was a long article and so good, that I didn't want it to end!



YES!!!!! Finally finally FINALLY, mass support, respect that cannot be hidden beneath layers of partisan media or lurid fascination with women's sex-parts for the purpose of titillation/marketing or simpering concern for our "natural role" as mothers *coff choke*. REAL support for women as REAL people, with lives, individuality, diversity, and a massive admission that conservative ideology is out to HARM US.

Thanks to such massive action on the part of so many people, and to the power of the intertubes, this movement CANNOT be subjected to the censorship effect that relegates most "ladies' concerns" to women's magazines, amid the ads for mascara and yogurt that helps you crap .
