Yes, we do need to discuss who we are because we just do not know anything...not even our role in his-story.
For the love of Mother Earth...isn't it time to stop this beating around the patriarchal/fascist bush?
Oppressed and desperate women know who they are. They also know that the women who are "educated" and the feminists who are co-opted do not speak for them nor are they interested in real changes. They made it in a male's world and to hell to the others. Our 'celebrities' actions speak louder than their words.
Where to now? More marches? More social teas? More yoga parties?...while the "New" Patriarchal Male Order sends us back to the middle ages?
IT S TIME TO RISE UP FROM UNDER!
We need to take political power; we have the economic clout -we are the ones the advertisers focus on to sell the goods that corporations say we "need".
Why are we so afraid to re-start the WOMEN'S Political Party?
Just IMAGINE what we can do once in power? We can dismantle the entire military industrial complex by just not funding them instead funding schools, hospitals, cleaning the environment, housing...Just IMAGINE!
A progressive women's party...could just start dismantling the MALE-GOD image burnt in our minds during the Burning Times when 9 millions of our sisters (duringt the space of 300 years) with their children were burnt during the Catholic Inquisition. OUR HOLOCAUST!
It's pay back time!
Slavery is outlawed yet we still are slaves - Prostitution is slavery and it's against the law yet millions of women/young girls are still beaten and drugged and killed to serve the Phallus-God.

It's going to take courage to unite and to create our own political arm...There is no limit to GOD/Male violence but we can do it because there is not one female who doesn't see the injustices and the oppression of women. (Even the whores-likes of Madeleine Albright and Margaret Thatcher know this that's why they preferred to join the Patriarchal Power Machine)

We will need no guns- just our consumer power will be enough to bring the changes that are so badly needed.
The new women's progressive party must arise from the ashes of the old co-opted women's movement.
The 21st century must be WOMYN'S if the planet is to survive!

It's our capacity to love that will give us the courage needed to rise up from under!

is this not just helping further repress the womans movement
by claiming discrimination that we cannot substanciate. do we now look like fools for doing so? how much has this hurt our cause
