"Unsex me here"

Shakespeare.

It's a line from Macbeth, where Lady Macbeth, prepares to commit murder. In her preparation she decisively removes all feminine quality about her. It seems Lady Macbeth, is of the opinion only men can murder. 

The TV series Snapped, has proven otherwise.

I am more severe and judgmental of women than men. Being a woman, I judge women more. I'll let men take the time to judge each other.

However you pass judgment is your choice, and your right. But don't lie to yourself and say you don't judge others. Judgement is how presidents are elected, contests are won, verdicts are formed, how lovers find one another, and laws generated.

I am an advocate of freedom and equality. But make no mistake when honoring both liberties, comes responsibility. Responsibly many women in this day and age refuse to accept, while taking every grain of privilege.

I have been asked (repeatedly) how it is I spent a lifetime in these "arenas" on my own, and my response is this...

In my 20's I concluded; my money, my body, my wins, my losses, my sickness, my health, my life, my death. Mine. 

Is it a hard way to live? Sometimes. But I refuse to share my money just because we're sleeping together. I share it with whomever, whenever. You have your money, I have mine. You live your way. I'll live mine.

And...

I have been rather successful in this campaign. 

I don't fear hard work or long days, as the end of my 15 hour work day finally ends. See  you again in five more hours!

Friends and family don't bear any burdens. Not with me. Though I have in the past done rather deviant things, I never sought, or will seek traditional love in these arenas. 

Foremothers for women's liberation have fought for equality. Fought. Marched. Litigated. Won. Lost. Were beaten down. Tortured. Died. All so women today may earn equal pay, equal rights, equal recognition, and equal treatment. But as far as I can tell, the reward for all those women who suffered and died, to better their lives and ours, has been stripped, raped, and pillaged by selfish women of today beyond all recognition.

You have sex with random strange men while you're pregnant? Seriously, what's wrong with you?

A (male) real estate agent, after swapping marital status, once said to me, "I would never marry a woman from this country." 

I wish I could say I didn't understand what he meant. But I do.

Maybe (a) solution is to start over. Take away all women's rights, and force us to earn them all over again. Because reminding women to respect their rights, isn't working. 

Oh, and...

FACT

Challenge accepted.

I'm not a Republican, but I'm voting for Jeb Bush. If he drops out I probably won't vote. It's all bad. Really bad. But Jeb is the least annoying to me.
