"the group think in all of this, so interesting, and others turning on friends and family to save themselves" is still very much true overall.

And while women may not "burn as witches" we still suffer the stigma of being women who will not bow down. (Funny, though, how some of - you know - those posts about our little group - refers to us as a "coven".

People fear what they don't know. People fear what they can't comprehend. People fear those who are not like themselves. People hate those who have courage they don't posses.
