11. We might have FINALLY hit the point where we we show our power we don't get destroyed.

I never have understood why men are so afraid of powerful women that they have to forcibly stop us whenever we begin to show strength. We get beat, burnt, raped, sold, viewed as objects that can't be trusted, as hormone driven, weak minded, petty, simple, stupid property. We're hated for being longed for and looked down on for that magical thing we can do...make life.

I've read a lot about what women throughout history have had to do in order to make our abilities acceptable to men. If we could just be, just each do what we can do in the ways women do it, we could...we CAN make this world anew.
