I think the war on women is a diversion from what needs to be talked about, the failed policies of Barack Obama. There is a lot of that going on.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying. I don't know much about Religion. I know a lot about the Word of God. If you are talking about dressing in a manner to call all the males of the neighborhood to attention, etc. I do think they need to be helped, not hurt, yelled at, put down but kindly and with encouragement let them know what this action draws, and why one should not draw than en-mass. If you leave God out of it you can wear anything you want and many may get hurt for that. There are places here in the US where you can go nude. I do not believe that is right in a Christian or an un-Christian way. It is dangerous! Have I missed all together what you were talking about? Thank you for commenting. Love you!

Yes I agree with you totally. We do not need to have government tell us what our children should eat and they need nothing to do with day care you are right. I could go on and on but they need to work harder on the men dominated side of the offences to women that will clear us up to do whatever it is we do best. Yes Kabu we agree....

Keeping religion out of it would be a great idea and personally I feel it's for a woman to decide not, men, churches, religion or politics.

WELL I don't understand these young girls, but I suppose when one sees one's mate in a nice house with freedom. Why sit at bench all day and never afford anything better than a squalid flat. Every thing is on offer today without thought of the consequences.

I am thinking that you and I have much in common re women's issues
after all we were right in the women's movement; all be for me it was more a watch and read than participate.
I believe that when we allowed male dominated Government departments to become involved in the running of issues like day care for the children the quality and the costs...everything became institutionalized and consequently, our decisions our ability to care for our needs was eroded away.
I don't think many girls these days have much idea of how hard their Grandmothers worked for equality and the right to choose for themselves. They take their education and careers for granted and are not watching vigilantly to keep control of their choices. for example...it has become almost impossible to live a comfy middle class life on one wage. Instead of choosing to work out of the home, women have to work out side the home. How glad I am that I was home when my boys were preschoolers. I fought hard though to get into the work force once they were older.
I just feel sick when I see men on TV or wherever pontificating about issues that women should be thrashing out. ...or are private matters between a couple.
Yes, I believe in marriage between a man and a women and all the values that I was brought up to honour. I am sad that there are so many single Mothers and I think that they probably get too much help and again....I believe universally in our Western world that Government has too much to say.
i could go on...but I do think that if we were sitting down with coffee and something delicious from your Kitchen that we are pretty much thinking alike.

Get as carried away as you choose. I have no problem with men understanding our issues; however, those of work, equel pay, academic opportunity are not made better by leaving men out but by women standing up and getting them right. These sorts of rights are not what this post is about, it is about women giving away all their rights due to sexual involvment without even making them an issue and before they understand what they are doing. When they do understand they tend to allow men to leave them holding the bag on all sides.
I am sorry I am not sure what you are seeing red about here. I would like to hear more from you. My post is about women taking their rights into their own hands outside marriage. In marriage they need some preparation so they can together set up an agreeable plan. The idea of a woman making hard decisions that involves her issues is what this is all about. I would like to know more about what makes you see red.....
I love you tear away at anything I write until we have it down to the shreds of understanding and hopefull agreement.

I appreciate long comments. The clothes of today leaves those little young bodies uncovered from there to way passed. They are so incredible delicious looking to young boys who are little less than roaring rivers of testosterone. They feel they have the permission of society to try out anything they want and they do.... Again thank you.

Oh, and as for political parties deciding women's issues --
I agree with Kabu. I don't want Uncle Sam in my bedroom, my doctor's exam room, or deciding whether or not I need birth control. That's personal.

Re: Justi
I am not supporting abortion at all. I am saying that is what is being chosen when they don't want the responsibility.

Justi, you've opened a mighty big can of worms here - and good for you!
According to statistics I've heard, the birth rate among single teen-age girls is way down over the past decade. Doesn't mean fewer girls are taking those important steps too early, it just means they've got access to birth control. Fifty years ago when I was in high school, it wasn't cool to admit it if a girl was having sex. These days it isn't cool to admit you're a virgin. Even so, at least half the girls in my high school dropped out, got married in a hurry and delivered "premature" infants. Many of them were grandmothers already at our 20th HS reunion.
As you said, the difference is they did marry. I happen to feel the institution of marriage, the rituals of courtship, engagement, wedding, setting up housekeeping, etc., build in stability as expectations are established. I agree with you that we should respect ourselves more, and at a minimum expect respect and loyalty from any man we share ourselves with. There's more, so much more, than sex involved in a partnership of equals, (a.k.a. marriage) and it takes time to get to know one another's character, motivations, plans.
Sorry for the long comment, but you started me thinking. Way to go, Justi! :)

darlin' I say all male Politicians and other men in a position of Power,
should keep out of Women's business. The only man I would have discussed such a subject with would be my husband since it is his pregnancy as well. I wasn't much of a woman's liberalist I suppose but the right to equal pay for equal work, for equal work opportunities, for the right to choose whether to work in the home or in the work force, for equal academic opportunity and the right to make choices for her own body based on a belief that a woman is comfortable making and is at peace with After proper councelling....these things I will always stand up for. i don't care what side of any fence or divide a man is standing I see red when they start to pontificate about women's business!!!!!! sorry love, I got a bit carried away.

RThis is your specialty on commenting love. However I believe that alternatives to abortion need to be presented to women. I can’t support abortion. BC-A.Bill’s R®st.

Personally, I think there is no longer any rhyme or reason when it comes to relationships, marriage, and child-rearing. Everybody seems to feel that they know what's best for themselves, or rather, what they would rather do with their lives. Most traditions seem to be going the way of the Dodo, and this is one of the few things that is truly equal between men and women. Every aspect of our society is crumbling right before our very eyes, and marriage and relationships are just another casualty in everybody's claim to what's supposed to be traditional and what can be altered to satisfy their particular whims! It's time to stop the finger-pointing. We are all to blame!
