I'm really tired of women getting the shaft by the right wing.

I don't understand what is wrong with our society. Women are paid less than men for the same work, treated like pariahs when they are successful but liberal (Martha Stewart) and are the object of most right wing crusades (against family planning for women, including safe and legal abortion, against the equal rights amendment, etc.)
The more "religious" the society, the more limiting to women (burkas, stay-at-home moms, home schooling the children, etc.)
How can women stand to put other women down? How can a woman be a republican? What is the problem here? Is it just my problem? Or can others see it?

I'm hoping for a new wave of global feminism.

I re-read some notes & quotes from many moons ago that still have some punch:

"Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, only she managed it backwards and in high heels."

It should be comprehensively illegal to underpay women for doing the same work as men.

but a lot of them come around when the hubby runs off with some young chick he met at work and leaves them alone with those homeschooled kiddies and no way to make a living.

That there's tension between stay at home moms and those who go out and work for a paycheck is only because of media fed guilt on both sides. Few women get to make the choice, but the guilt is still there no matter what happens.

The bottom line is that women are human beings and some of them are going to be consistently wrong, judgmental, narrow, nasty, bigoted, belligerent, and unpleasant to be around. The GOP is rewarding those women. The balance will eventually tip in the other direction.

At my age, it is almost too late to help me (I'm 54) but my daughter should have a better world.
The thing that pisses me off is, I never found a man who would take care of me the way so many of these right wing women have.

Just once I'd love to be pampered and petted and not have to worry about the next paycheck or how I was going to pay the mortgage.

this coming from the mouths of my female relatives prior to the election. I don't understand it and still don't. I'm not sure of how the rwingers have gotten so many women hoodwinked into voting to cut their own throats, but there sure are a lot of them in my neck of the woods.

I dropped out quite a while ago (NOW) because I felt (probably ignorantly) that it was moving toward Lesbian rights too heavily. I didn't feel (probably ignorantly) that the group spoke strongly enough for all women. I'm thinking of rejoining some group and my husband is with me as well. After all, my shitty salary and workplace discrimination (which I luckily don't encounter)effects him too.
