I AM WOMAN… HEAR ME ROAR…..

I AM WOMAN… HEAR ME ROAR….. 

Thru the years for a 100 years.. we have heard all the stories of woman fighting for the right to have rights.. All rights, besides voting rights.   Some woman died.. A lot of them were beaten.. and even thrown in jail. 

It started out with a day March 8^th and then a week.. for woman and in 1986 it was changed to a month… WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH. 

So now we have March… Women’s History Month.  I am hoping there will be programs on tv about the hardships that women before us went thru.. Some only know of those of the 1970’s .. not knowing about the ones in the 1880 and 1900… of the beating and etc.  

As I champion women’s rights.. the right to vote, the right own own land, the rights to work and get a decent wage (still working on that one) the right for respect, the rights of equal in a marriage… it totally saddens me to see some woman today, who disrespect everything all these woman stood up for..  

One of the greatest disappointments are the woman who champion Trump.  How can you even give that man a thought?  The nastiness of his remarks… “grab them by the pussy, they like that.. just go up and kiss them, if you have money you can get away with that,” he remarked....  The nastiness of his talking about strong women.  He gave token jobs to some women, but only those who praises him.

There is so much nastiness of this man, that was showed even on his own television show The Apprentice… way before he decide to run.. so it was nothing new…  But I am not going to go there any further.. just disappointing.. 

There are the women who work and turn their paychecks over to their husbands or boyfriends.  Saw a lot of that when I was working. In the days before auto check deposit, the company handed out payroll checks at noon. There would be several men in the parking lot, waiting for their girlfriends or wives to come out and hand over their checks.

Talks of drunkenness fights that night..  Seeing some of the results the next morning as they came back to work.   

Those of us over 45, would ask, we worked hard for woman’s right for this?  As there weren’t many who stood up and dumped the guy.  Sad… 

So hopefully you all will pay attention to the programs that will be on thru March..   and understand what it cost many women, so you all can get the jobs you got, the vote that you should be doing, the equal of your marriage.

I use to tell my daughters.. you can do anything you want to do, be who ever you want to be, work at any job you chose.. BUT you have to work hard for it. You have to want it bad enough to stand up.  The only one who can stop you is YOU. 

NEVER THE LESS, SHE PERSISTED…  

"Nevertheless, she persisted" is an expression adopted by the feminist movement, especially in the United States. It became popular in 2017 after the United States Senate voted to silence Senator Elizabeth Warren's objections to confirmation of Senator Jeff Sessions as U.S. Attorney General. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made this remark in defense of the silencing, during his comments following the vote.

It did not silencer her..

 

I HOPE YOU TOO WILL…. NEVER THE LESS, PERSIST..
