the Dumb and the Dynamic

Dumb:

Ann Coulter-

1. the backbone of the democratic party is the ‘typical fat, implacable welfare recipient.;
2. ‘Clinton’ masturbates in sinks!
3. ‘If we are so cruel to minorities why do they still keep coming here?’
4. if we took away a women’s right to vote we’d never have another democratic president
5. God gave us this earth.  We dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees.  God said, ‘Earth is yours.  Take it.  Rape it. It’s Yours’

Favorite all time dumb as a stick and stone warfare in the middle of Harlem during a heat wave with no accessible fire hydrants:

 ”I’m a Christian first, and a mean-spirited, bigoted conservative second, and don’t you ever forget it.”

Dynamic:

Gloria Steinem-

1. “Once we give up searching for approval we often find it easier to earn respect.”
2. “we are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud”
3. “Empathy is the most radical of human emotions.”
4. “We’ve begun to raise daughters more like sons… but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.”
5. “The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.”

During Feminist 101 camp, Women’s Music Festivals and Lesbian Rainbow hikes, I had spotted a t-shirt that boggled my radically fit for the land of ‘misfit’ toys, way of thinking.

I had often given this well known saying, seen across the clothed breast of women I would meet.  I dare not ask the obvious, ‘what the fuck does that mean?’

For I yearned to earn my stripes as a cadet in the march on up to Free Thinker Hill.  To me the statement seemed so out there, yet so, obtuse…it must have a very slight meaning and a very heavy connotation.

I grew.  I danced naked with vast amount of varieties of women listening to the Indigo Girls near Black Mountain, North Carolina.  I trudged up Mountain Washington, New Hampshire to set my stake, as many have before me, a stake of rainbow pride.

Well traveled and thoughtlessly not as well versed as I thought.  Gloria most poignant statement to any woman.  Any young girl with pride in her G.I. Joe collection.  Any pre-teen learning to play, ‘I am Woman’, on the piano…

To any of us who care to change from within an accept that the obvious oblivious in society is something that can be changed:

“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.”

-Gloria Steinem

If I had to I could do anything…I am proud to be a fish out of water and am in no current need for a man’s help or a bicycle!
