The Heritage Foundation has come out with a little paper (approx. 170-some pages) on how to proceed in this country with "Saving America by Saving the Family." The plan is to take away as many rights from women as possible to force them into an early marriage and have babies. Anyone who is in a male/female marriage is not considered family. And they are hoping that corporations wil offer more paid leave so women can spend more time at home.

One women is killed every 10 minutes, globally and the number continues to climb higher. Why is it that men think women are so disposable so many of them feel entitled to kill us. It's the culture!

A synopsis of the show "All Her Fault" and how women are held to entirely different standards from their husbands when it comes to taking care of the kids. And just about everything else.

Women's clothing for work purposes is constantly getting less and showing more. That's not the case for men, though. Men are considered human beings while women are considered sexual beings.

Women are being denied easier, less expensive and less harsh treatments because it doesn't profit doctors and hospitals as much as traditional radiation treatments.

Work like a man? Is that an assumption that men work harder? I'm confused. The difference in how men are perceived at work vs. women.

Women, we are in grave danger. A federal takeover of Washington DC is a major step in Project 2025 which plans for a Christian Nationalist State for the entire country. Women are in danger from a recent EO that criminalizes homelessness and mental illness. They can be committed to institutions if someone deems you have a mental illness. That's all it takes.

Not only is it okay for men to lie, betray, cheat, manipulate and make false promises to get women into bed, it's actually encouraged. If women fall for it, then they are the fool, whore, should have known better. It's absurb and it's what is considered normal in this society.

Shaming of girls starts early and it continues into adulthood. Women are shamed for their natural bodily functions, appearance, interests, etc. It's endless.

Adriana Smith, from Georgia, has been kept alive for the last three months in spite of her being declared brain dead. She was only two months pregnant when that declaration was made so she would need to be kept alive through machines for at least the next 3 months.
