(20,582 posts)to women regarding women's rights to their own bodies per the vaginal probes, mandatory ultrasounds pre-abortion, etc, etc., and that aspirin thing between the legs just floored me, but trust me .... we are with you on fighting backward ideas like this, I've voted in every poll in articles I've seen and signed anything I could find against it adding my own (often not-so-nice) comments. We can't do much at all to help, but we're there with you in spirit and would desperately like to help!! Otherwise, we face the same challenges as far as assault, rape, harassment, etc. Personally I've been very, very lucky and can't say I've worked in one job that I haven't been paid as much as any man - and I've worked in many. I've also never been discriminated against for being a woman. In that sense, possibly we do have it better - I don't know about Australia, however. But fighting for women's rights and the rights of all human beings is something I'm very concerned about, as well as is Violet, as I know from reading her posts over the years.
If the booze makes us too talkative about things we just can't possibly understand, we could always just discuss other things ... like what the hell are we gonna do when we run out of wine, whiskey and beer!
