Get out of my WOMB!

It's been a while since I've posted  - mostly due to health reasons but the past couple of months a number of issues have cropped up that have pushed me out of my cocoon of self absorbed introspection.

While I was attempting to heal my body someone declared war on my sex....
Things like this (see URLS below) have been popping up all over the net and I find it disgusting and frightening.

I think it's time for women to stop being nice and start being heard.
We make up more than half of the world's population but control only a tiny fraction of it's wealth. We work, we pay taxes.....why are we considered to be less than our brothers?

I think it's time for a bit of peaceful revolution.
Men haven't been doing a good job running things maybe it's time we took over.

Or at the very least maybe it's time we stood up and took back the rights that are being pulled away from us.
Brave women stood together and fought for us to be heard as valid voices ....I think it's time to remind the boys that we're here and that we are their equals.
