I am going to continue...

[sheshe2]

The children are our future. With the Madison's of the world we will never be denied. We need the next generation and damn Madison you may help lead the way once again. Some of us are getting old and tired, we need you and others to continue the fight that we should have won so long ago. You inspire me Madison.

Our future and our right!

1. Tell it like it is! nt

[sheshe2]

7. She is 12 years old MADem...

And has far more knowledge, insight and strength in her beliefs than anyone member of the GOP.

She is our future. Women like her will get back all that we have lost. Out of the mouths of babes. We are truly blessed.

[MADem]

11. Old soul!

Maybe she can get the ERA passed before another hundred years go by...!

[sheshe2]

18. I believe she and others like her can.

There are remarkable young women out their, remarkable children that understand.

They are not going to be silent and they will not shut up!

I like this, I always have...

[MADem]

20. Incredible--when I read your OP that song came to mind! nt

[sheshe2]

21. It is a favorite and I posted it many times.

Good to see that people are not tired of it.

It will always be about dignity. Ours, our childrens.

Thanks MADem!

2. OH FUCK!

I wanted to be the first K and R!

[sheshe2]

9. Thanks Skp!

Appreciated more than you know!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. She is so amazing. And she's only 12.

I feel sad, though, that she needs to fight this battle.

We should have won it by now.

But we couldn't, so it falls to the next generation to finish what we were unable to finish.

[sheshe2]

10. They will finish it once and for all!

Thanks Peggy!

[TeamPooka]

4. K&R!

5. I am astonished that it has not been ratified yet.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

For all what America is supposed to stand for, this is a black eye shining brightly.

Teen Girl Defines Feminism To Phyllis Schlafly In Awesome Open Letter



Madison Kimrey first made headlines as the 12-year-old who would "restore your faith in the future of politics" when she called out North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) for dismissing teens in a powerful speech last fall. Now, the teen is back -- and this time, she has a few words for Phyllis Schlafly.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/22/madison-kimrey-phyllis-schlafly_n_5192278.html

Her Letter in part.

Dear Ms. Schlafly,

I’m a teenage girl who has been reading about you quite a bit in the news lately. It seems to me that you have absolutely no idea what women of my generation are all about. I can understand that because I often deal with older people who think that their generation is superior and my generation is the worst thing ever just because we’re different. Really though, I think since you want to be all up in the public eye, it would really do you a lot of good to understand things from the perspective of one of the young women who will be taking over this country soon.

I’ve been thinking about how I can explain what feminism means to my generation in a way you might not have thought of before. I wanted to try to work from something we have in common, and it’s been kind of hard to find something I have in common with you. Then, it came to me. I bet you wear a bra.

I was reading recently about a company called Yellowberry that was started by a young woman because she took her younger sister bra shopping and her sister didn’t like any of the choices. None of the bras fit her, and she felt the selections were too sexual. So she started a line of bras so that girls would have more options. As for myself, I shop at Victoria’s Secret. It’s not because I want to be sexy or have any grand delusions of looking like one of their models. I shop there because they have different styles of bras so I can find something I think is pretty that fits me. I don’t know where you shop for your bras, but I bet you have a favorite one. I bet you have that one bra that’s comfortable and goes with just about everything. I bet the last thing you were thinking about when you bought that bra was what a man would think about it.

Well, making choices in our lives as young women is kind of like finding that favorite bra. Not all of us are going to fit into the same kind and not all of us are going to find the same style attractive. We all deserve to have as many choices as possible, and as women, we shouldn’t be judging the choices made by other women. Choosing a bra is a very personal choice and is none of anyone else’s business. We should be, as women, looking for ways we can expand the choices both for ourselves and other women, just as Megan Grassell did when she started Yellowberry. Equality doesn’t mean women will all make the same choice. It means women will be treated the same no matter what choices they make.

Equality for all William, that is what it is all about. Your fight is my fight, mine is yours. Together always~

[Half-Century Man]

6. Ms. Schlafly, you've lost.

On the bright side, because of Ms. Kimrey and others like her, your life has become better and you are treated with more respect.

[Cha]

12. Madison Kimrey, 12 years old, is exponentially smarter and knows

more about life than Phyllis Schlafly could ever hope to learn. I'm so grateful she has written this open letter to her!

"..But I believe that my daughters will look at history and see women like you the same way I see women who tried to prevent us from getting the right to vote.."

Amazing!

http://samuel-warde.com/2014/04/open-letter-phyllis-schlafly-12-year-old-madison-kimrey-guest-post/

Thank you, she!

[sheshe2]

14. To our daughters or

or nieces or our feminist nephews. They will fight the fight for the future generations.

Sadly it has to be fought again yet a child/ woman like Kimberly can do that. On the brink of becoming a woman and she has far more insight than many of her elders.

Thank you Cha, she is amazing. She and others like her, our hope.

[hopemountain]

13. the youth are our hope

and we must do our part today to insure they have future.

[sheshe2]

17. Spot on hopemountain.

I believe that we are doing that, yet again we can push harder.

Together, because our future is their future. We are in this together. We always have been.

15. K&R!

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: Why Equal Pay Is Worth Fighting For

I honestly can’t believe that we’re still arguing over equal pay in 2014.

When I started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. Women have made incredible strides since then. But 40 years later, we’re still debating equal pay for equal work.

Women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they’re taking a hit in nearly every occupation. Bloomberg analyzed Census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. In 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. That’s not an accident; that’s discrimination.

The effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. Today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. Pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. In Massachusetts, the average woman who collects Social Security will receive about $3,000 less every year compared to a man in a similar position, because benefits are tied to how much people earn when working.

[lovemydog]

36. Thank you sheshe2

& thanks for posting the beautiful Whitney Houston song above. As a guy, I stand with you and millions of others in favor of raising the minimum wage and ratifying the ERA.

[sheshe2]

37. I will say goodnight now.

It is late for me.

Yet I wanted to thank you, lovemydog. It is about women. Yes it is. However it is the men that love and respect us that will make this work. Whitney's song is powerful, the same way your support is.

It means a lot to all of us!

I thank you.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

22. Ask around. It's stunning how many women believe it passed back in the 70s.

[sheshe2]

25. Who What When and Where?

Who believes that?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

27. Try here:

[sheshe2]

31. Not sure what your link is trying to tell me. HSN?

It's about fashion and shoes and a lot of airhead comments. What does that have to do about what I posted!?????

Not a thing!

This is a fight that we have damn well been fighting for years. Over and over again. No we have not stopped and never will!

I don't believe that we are the ones that are unaware. It's is the fricking GOP! Maybe a few others too.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

32. It has plenty to do with what I posted....

A bunch of women who probably think the ERA already passed.

[sheshe2]

34. Would you give a more supportive link to your findings?

The talk about @ your link

Want beautiful skin?

yesterday

I practice what is called Dry brushing. What this is is a natural brush like you get for showering, start brushing your legs in an upward motion, each leg, clear to the hip always brushing toward the heart, then brush the arms in an upward motion toward the heart also brush the belly. In several days at once a day you will have skin like silk. This dry brushing removes the dead skin and helps move the lympfatic system. So you are prettier and healthier

HSN, What happened to my score???

yesterday

I just got 127,830 on Monkey Gems. My score totaled up and thankfully, I wrote it down. Then the screen went black, stayed that way for a long time and then a page appeared showing a variety of items. My score isn't showing on the leaderboard! Can this be fixed?

Thank you for your help!

I am a tad confused here... there are no links to women believing that it passed in the 70's?!!!!!!!???? WTF does this have to do with womens equal rights under the law!

Would you please explain why you posted this link?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

39. As an example of a place where you can find people who are oblivious.

[bettyellen]

23. she reminds me of my niece, so eloquent and strong.

[sheshe2]

24. Yup!

She reminds me of a niece of my own. I love her to pieces!

Thanks bettyellen!

[bettyellen]

I know I am, LOL!

[sheshe2]

It is almost time for us to pass the baton, however not quite yet. We still have work to do, Madison and others, they are taking up the call for us. My niece is one of them. I will be happy to leave it in their capable hands.

[niyad]
