Where's The Love?

Perhaps I should keep my mouth shut. Is that really me? I went to bed Friday night woke up and the country had gone crazy by Saturday morning. No wait, the country went crazy awhile ago but overnight full blown insanity set in. My oh my!

I couldn't believe my eyes as I read some of the signs women were marching with in DC and other places yesterday. Are you kidding me? Surely this is a joke? If it's not a joke then I must be the stupidest woman alive. I guess I really am a dumb blonde because I'm totally confused what exactly were they marching about? Some wore costumes made to look like female or male external genitalia while carrying signs with words that are ACTUALLY DEMEANING to women. Did anyone clue into the amount of wordage being used by these demonstrators that is demeaning to all females? Didn't anyone teach them you don't use certain language to demean yourself? Among the sea of signs with demeaning wordage were of course signs protesting Trump, as well as signs about equality, and "girl power". Um, okay. Lots of issues rolled into one!

But please, because I'm apparently a dumb blonde...please someone tell me how women in America are so suppressed? As a woman what am I not allowed to do?  I need to know because Piper my little cat-daughter and I need to start complaining to the 2 male pugs and my husband we live with. LOL!

In all seriousness...
We are free right? Women are free. We can come and go as we please each and every day or am I wrong?

We can go to school: elementary, high school, college, grad school. Not like women only get educated thru 12th grade and anything higher is reserved for men only. And might I add women are even allowed to graduate at the top of their class. Becoming a valedictorian or a salutatorian isn't reserved for just boys! :)

We can drive. And we're allowed to drive at the same age teenage boys are allowed to drive.

We can buy alcohol and cigarettes too. Just like men.

We can vote. We've been able to vote for years now. Nothing new.

We can hold down jobs of any kind. We can even become CEO's of companies. I'm CEO of a small company I call Fur-baby Inc. Lol! As I type this, one fur-baby sits in timeout.

We can even pursue careers in pro sports. Okay, so aspiring to be the next Peyton Manning if you are a girl might be a stretch. But hey it's a stretch for the majority of men as well! 

Women coaching men in pro sports, can we do that? Yep, women can even do that. San Antonio Spurs have a female assistant coach. My hometown team the Arizona Cardinals as well as the Buffalo Bills have female assistant coaches on their staffs.

We can marry whom we choose. We aren't sold to the jerk down the street for two calves once we reach marrying age.

We also have the right to choose our sexual orientation. Actually we even have the right to give up our gender, have an operation and join the boys.

We can choose to have families and a career. There's also no limit on how many kids we are allowed to have.

We can worship as we want.

We can dress as we choose.

We can enlist in the military.

And yes, are you ready for this one....we can even run for President of the United States. The woman didn't win but she was permitted to run wasn't she?

I know this list isn't complete, yet I feel I've made my point. Therefore, clearly I must agree with all those protestors from yesterday...American women are very oppressed. NOT!!!! Go be a female in Beirut or how about Pakistan? Or maybe being a woman in Syria or Iraq is more your thing?

Last time I checked America was still quite high on the list of places to build a life. I was raised in an American city that is overrun by illegal foreigners desperately seeking to have the American dream. From where I sit, America still seems to be a desirable nation to move to if you happen to be stuck in an undesirable nation.

I should probably stop but let me briefly add, or rather question where is the love? Groups that demonstrated yesterday said they were doing so to spread love not hate. Okay, so Madonna said what she said about the White House out of love? She better be REAL glad she is a famous celeb because if I had said that or you had said what she said yesterday we'd be behind bars with NO bail set. Nope, my husband wouldn't even have a chance to bail me out. I'd be charged with all sorts of things and likely never see freedom again. An additional anecdote, let me tell this story from a few months ago when Trump was elected. A Republican man that had just got done voting for Trump at the polls was pulled out of his car and beaten. I'm sure those particular protesters did that out of love, right?

What are we teaching our next generation? What are we demonstrating to other nations? Come on get a grip people. This isn't about Trump. Organizers of these protests are using people's dislike for Trump to get people's attention, to help get more people out to their protests. Look deeper, this is a super feminist super liberal movement. Wake up...evil is at work in a new wave under a new disguise of so-called LOVE aimed squarely at women.


****If for some reason you didn't catch what Madonna had to say in DC yesterday as she hyped up the crowds. Here is a link to the video at yahoo... https://www.yahoo.com/news/madonna-at-womens-march-i-have-thought-an-awful-lot-about-blowing-up-the-white-house-200716914.html ...Just in case this link changes or doesn't work you can go to yahoo and search "Madonna at women's march". The part towards the very end about the White House is most noteworthy!
