I wish I could bring myself to write pages and pages about how I feel about the current assault on women’s reproductive rights and sexuality, and the bullying tactics used the world over to shock-and-awe us, but I just can’t. So instead, I will try to simplify how I feel by saying:
- Picture a woman. Focus on her face, her body, her clothing. What does she look like? What color is her skin? Her eyes? What are the first words out of her month?
Now, clear your mind.
Picture a strong woman. Who is she? Hold old is she? Can you describe her appearance? What does she say?
Repeat the exercise for a sexy woman. An intelligent one.
Are these women the same? They should be, because they are.
- Mood: It’s early yet. Wait until I wake up.

Yeah, that about says it all.
I was raised by my mom and older sister. There are those who would say since my father was only present in my life for a month or so in the summer that I was doomed.
Yet somehow, I ended up a balanced adult going on 20 years with my wife, who is the woman I pictured above 🙂
The men I’ve seen who don’t have respect for women are often bitter, unhappy men — which is fine. Until those men begin getting pushy…especially as legislators!
