68. We Know It's Flat-Out Wrong

Tue May 20, 2014, 11:07 AM

May 2014

Aren't we still waiting, somewhere inside us, isn't some part of us holding our breath waiting to see what will happen in Nevada?

Will there be subpoenas? Arrest warrants? Will cops come in & smash them all to the ground? Or more crickets?

Whereas we don't need to speculate on what would happen to a group of women who loudly protest the crippling effects of unregulated capitalism. I keep saying this, & am willing to repeat myself: the demotion of women to punching bags, empty vessels, sluts, & people who are to be controlled by men, is but one of the steps to fascism. Court-sanctioned brutality against young women is an especially telling step at that.

As far as I can tell there's no way into this world for our species other than the birth canal. When a culture turns against women, it's turned on itself.
