http://mic.com/articles/88277/23-ways-feminism-has-made-the-world-a-better-place-for-men

Well, until it is time to battle.... Ah ha. I am in a peculiar mood. For sure

[Uncle Joe]

44. I hear you, peace, love and the righteous fight.

peace within love beyond justifiable anger toward the narrow minded culprits and the righteous fight against those opposing us there will be casualties along the way, but this will inevitably lead to the misogynists surrender and the American People will be all the better for it.

[seabeyond]

[sheshe2]

103. I will...

and here's to you~

[SwampG8r]

55. thank you feminists

for helping to shape a society where women in general and my wife and daughter and now granddaughter call their own shots
thank you for not making me live in the world my parents did and suffer for it as they both did
thanks for shaping a world where we can just be us and enjoy that
thanks for all the other causes you have given your strength to through the years
thanks for keeping fighting even when it looks like you wont win, don't ever stop fighting

[seabeyond]

60. ahhhhh

grandaughters, too.

congrats.

i live in a world of boys. what a different world of girls. i would like a little of that. though, i do love my boys.

[CTyankee]

63. maybe you'll have granddaughters!

I have three...

[seabeyond]

66. wowser.... wouldnt that be a hoot

a lifetime of boys, to then shift to girls.

i always figured it was best and i would really screw up a girl. i have two nieces from different brothers. their mothers werent around. i did most of the mothering. i look at them now, at 21 and 25. good, strong, informed, vocal feminists they are. and a decade prior, they merely rolled their eyes.

imagine my surprise.

life ... directs. and they had the foundation and awareness to pick up on it.

thanks ct...

hubby doing better after his visit yesterday afternoon? wiped out?

[CTyankee]

84. he slept a good long time...but he is not very hungry...

I have a suspicion that his doctor told him to lose some weight...he's been eating far too much lately and gained back all the weight he had lost when he had is back surgery a few years ago.
Of course, he wouldn't listen to ME. I hope the doc read him the riot act. Funny how that works...

[SwampG8r]

70. we had2 boys and 1 girl

so a nice mixed bag
my good friend and his wife had 3 sons
the wife was a little disappointed because of it (not in a bad way more of in a wistful way)
she now has 3 granddaughters
she is in heaven

[seabeyond]

71. ha ha. i think it all works out exactly as it should.

i was in a family. two boys and a girl. i was also the youngest. talk about a "special" world to live in. lol

[seabeyond]

72. hey...

werent you looking at the nw? was that you, remembering correctly? did you make it?

[SwampG8r]

73. i think you have me mistaken nt

[seabeyond]

74. k. i was thinking i may be wrong. no swamps in nw. ;) .

[SwampG8r]

75. thinking back

my wife is a nurse midwife and 2 or 3 years ago she was looking for a gig and one of the places she was investigating was in Oregon or Washington
so on second thought you may be right
we went to the us virgin islands instead for a year instead of the Washington job
they had a greater need unfortunately funding in a territory is not done rationally and the programs were unfunded
back in beautiful humid swampy florida now

[seabeyond]

76. yes. that was it. i was right. remembered correctly. that is something for my brain.

and now that you mentioned it, i recall you went to us virgin. read some posts. ok. thank you. cause i was gonna waste time trying to pull up who i was thinking of.

[Heidi]

56. Kick!!!!

[raven mad]

57. At almost 60 (next week!) I still won't quit the fight.

[littlemissmartypants]

64. Happy Birthday and

Thanks for your post.

[seabeyond]

68. at this point, what do we have to lose? i need that tshirt. nt

[niyad]

81. an early happy birthday, and keep up the good work. I have no plans to give up, now

or into my dotage.

[calimary]

94. Happy Birthday raven mad!

Love your post - downloaded a copy of it. Cuz it perfectly describes me, too!

Yeah. I'm a feminist. And I'm damn proud of it! DEAL with it! And you know what else? A BIG part of our activism won rights and protections for YOU, too! DEAL with THAT, too!

[IronLionZion]

65. Cheers

[McCamy Taylor]

77. Clinton/Castro 2016! K&R for the win!

[thucythucy]

78. K & R K & R K & R.......

[DesertDiamond]

79. Hugs and kudos to all who have made causes for equality. Special thanks to those who have sacrificed

for the sake of equality. And a special thanks as well to all men who support equality!!!

[seabeyond]

83. that really is true. there was another thread i believe....

and that was my thought. oh. ann richards.

speak out at whatever cost

if it comes from the heart

i believe.

and there are costs. always costs.

and then you bring it up. at this time in my life, i have learned, that is the reality of so much of this. and that is ok. i am good with that.

[niyad]

80. k and most assurely R for this very necessary thread!

[JackRiddler]

82. From each according to her ability...

to each according to her need!

- Equal rights, duties, privileges, liberties and opportunities for all. Under the law and in all the institutions.

- Freedom for all from proscribed gender roles and conditioning.

- Equal respect and rewards for traditionally "feminine" labor and roles in childcare, schooling, household and the reproductive sphere.

It's such a simple set of ideas, and yet so drastically misrepresented -- in part by some of its adherents who reduce it to the idea of success for some women within a neoliberal order, but mostly of course by all the world's reactionary yahoos.

[Lifelong Protester]

85. Here since 1970s

On the front lines, old, maybe, but not ever giving up!!!

[BainsBane]

86. 96 recs!

I guess we can't be so bad after all!

[wryter2000]

87. Here's something I can K & R

So I did.

[JNelson6563]

88. To all my DU sisters!

Julie

[WCLinolVir]

89. Right on!

[cyberswede]

90. K&R x 1000

[TBF]

91. Another kick -

it is really nice to see socialists and feminists on the top of the greatest page. It has made my Saturday!

[AAO]

92. It's amazing how things can change in a few generations

And now to have to do it all over again is just unfathomable to me. Please do not vote for any republicans at any level of office. It's the only way we have a chance.

[Hekate]

93. KnR my friends

[littlemissmartypants]

96. Kicking for my amazing niece.

Voted most likely to become president.

We rise.

#FJL

[smirkymonkey]

97. K&R!

Thank you!

[BainsBane]

99. Sisters

[seabeyond]

100. Wow. Too cool. Never heard it. That is great. Nt

[Kath1]

102. Isn't that song and video awesome?!

Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox - just f*cking great!

I used to blast that song in my car on my commute to real crap job. Strong coffee, Marlboro Lights and "Sisters" full blast would get me to work every day!

[BainsBane]

105. You never saw it before?

That surprises me. It was a big hit in the 80s.

[seabeyond]

107. i kinda knew

who franklin was. lennox? clueless. hubby did show me a video of hers not too long ago. she does songs making a statement and he got it for me. but, i am not recalling her at all. enjoyed it though.

[BainsBane]

108. Lennox was in the Eurythmics

Last edited Mon Jul 14, 2014, 02:33 PM - Edit history (1)

You "knida knew" Aretha Franklin?

[seabeyond]

109. i certainly recognize the name and the greatness of who she is. i do not follow or retain

entertainment at all. not even a little. for a lifetime. it is a hoot. love music/dancing/singing. love specific music. my boys gather my playlist cause they know the names and titles. i am clueless.

eurethmics, i barely recall the name.

i will be listening to a song, oh i love this, i will exclaim. look at the artist (my car shows artist and title), and say, man, i do not even recognize the name of the band, but love the song. cream. lol. isnt that like clapton? so it is a hoot for the boys.

the most popular and well known, they will cover the title as i am singing away and ask who sings it. uh... uh uh.

i often will get beetles, i can hear springston in song and one other i forget. that is about it.

[BainsBane]

110. Here's one of their hits

Eurythimics, Sweet Dreams

Annie Lennox had a long and successful solo career too. Note both John Malcovich and Huge Laurie are in this video with a Dangerous Liaisons theme. I love this song.

[Kath1]

101. Love you, too!

Peace, equality and choice - these are things worth fighting for!

[etherealtruth]

106. Equality for all!

This is for the women that have come before ... upon whose shoulders we stand
