women are pawns because there are too many of us and we are in competition with each other, we have value in this society exactly as long as we are young and beautiful, and then it's gone unless we have money which most of us will never be able to earn, since the highest paying of jobs are overwhelmingly given to males
you know this, so i'm not sure why you're asking the question
powerless people rarely rise up, they are too busy trying to survive
there will never be a global revolution because the youngest and strongest figure they'll be the lucky ones who can parlay looks, beauty, and youth into riches and once they find out the old truth, that they are a disposable toy, and that nothing fades so fast as looks, beauty, and youth, it's too late, the attention has passed to the next generation
i'm tired of fighting for young women who don't care about abortion rights because, to them, having a baby is a way to get DNA to sue a man for $$$ and they are too ignorant of basic math to notice that the money they get from the man is NEVER enough to cover the real costs of having a baby/losing their looks/losing their career
there was a brief moment in the 70s when women stood together, but individuals decided there was too much money to be made selling their sexuality -- nothing has so brief a lifespan as sex appeal but if you try saying so you're put down as bitter and jealous so every generation has to learn its own lesson the hard way
those who are incapable of learning from the bad experiences of the past then get to enjoy those bad experiences for themselves
there is no benefit to being a "majority," if women were truly rare and precious, perhaps we'd be treated better, but we're a dime a dozen, if you don't want to clean some creep's toilet, there's always another woman who will, ever notice that?
how many bright, intelligent, won't-take-shit women do you know in great relationships? how many bright, intelligent, won't-take-shit women do you know who are single? the women who are losers often times actually get more men (of course the quality of the men they get they'd prob. be better off w/out)
if you want to change things for yrself, get $$$ any legal way possible, if you want to change things for women, help yrself and other women get $$$ any legal way possible -- but it's surprisingly difficult if you're not plugged into the old boy's network
we live in a capitalist society, if we want to be taken seriously as adults, we need to get our hands on some damn $$$
and if you want to defend the rights of religious hysterics to force women into wearing hijabs/head scarves/burqas by all means...get some counseling...because that is not empowering to women...france is right on this and you are wrong
