I Thought "they" hated women and we're trying to reduce our place in civil society. Now, it is beginning to dawn on me, it is really about the men.
Over the past week I read a couple of news items. Miss Universe Nevada is a transgender, Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition had a couple of transgender models, now Playboy is considering a transgender for the cover. In the past we have watched movies like Some Like it Hot (1959), tv programs like Bosom Buddies, The Drew Carey Show, Nash Bridges as well as others that all had cross-dressing characters. The characters were either trying to get closer to women or run from the bad guys or just stand out. Sometimes it was described as a life choice.
I see our possible future as the utopia envisioned in Demolition Man. Sex was all "virtual", no touching, no fluid transfer. IF you wanted children, it had to be state approved and impregnation was done in the medical setting. Doesn't that sound like fun? I don't see a logical reason to emasculate men or turn women into males. Let us acknowledge and celebrate the truth. God gave each of us a sex for a reason!
Just pay attention to what is being presented as the norm. You are not the weirdo, reactionary, neanderthal that "they" are claiming you to be. Speak up, take care of your family!

I am sick and tired of enforced compliance with government edicts propagated by a bunch of elitists who have never lived in "my" world. I am tired of both sides. "They" curry favor with empty promises
leading up to the next election. Sanders and Warren have announced a "new" plan to save social security and improve benefits. Wow, I am so surprised, "let's get the old farts on our side". Of course I would like
to see higher benefits ($2400 a year for everyone immediately) a new and improved means of calculating cost of living, a way to provide long term viability. BUT the devil is in the details which is sorely missing.
It seems that day by day every single thing in our country is being polarized and politicized. We need to speak up and not be frightened into submission. We owe that to those that come after us!

I do believe that it is past time that parents reclaim their children! Many of our ancestors educated their children at home, teaching them to read, write and do 'rithmatic. My husband and I determined over 20 years ago that public schools were not the answer for our child. As there were no private schools in the area it left us with the option of homeschooling. It was a rewarding and frustrating experience. But we are SO glad we did not listen to family and friends! Our son has grown into a bright, articulate, loving, caring, God fearing man who has achieved success with his own business.
Each of us must define our own vision of the future. What is your definition of success? Stop letting others define your world. Pray like it depends on God, work like it depends on you! My advise to those that ask is always the same, take back your family, get out of debt (step back if necessary) and prepare for the future.

When are we women going to get our collective dander up? I question the "suburban housewife" and her ability to make informed decisions. Look folks, "they" are gutting Title 9, allowed the Taliban to waltz back in and strip away any progress of Afghanistan's women, caused skyrocketing prices of the basics, reduced our schools to little more than daycare and inclusivity centers. We are now experiencing shortages of baby formula, food, feminine hygiene products etc. I really wonder if those elected representatives have a clue what we, the average people, really believe and desire. The song used to be "I am Woman Hear me Roar", it now sounds like "I self identify as a female who may or may not whimper".
Sometimes all of us need to stick our head up above the fray. Take the time to think beyond the current talking point. What is really going on and how will it affect you and your family? As for me, I continue to speak my mind and pray. FERVENTLY!

Oops, it didn't exactly stick. My father decided I needed riding and jumping lessons, loved it. I skied in the winter, played golf and tennis, worked in the garden, drove the tractor. I wasn't very good at sports but had some fun!
You are wondering if this is going anywhere, I know. Well yeh it is. My father also taught me how to change tires. He wasn't going to have any daughter of his get stuck on the side of the road! Oh, if I can avoid it I will but I KNOW I don't HAVE to depend on anyone if I have a flat. I also learned a little self defense. Your heel or knee to a certain portion of the male anatomy can be quite effective.
The truth is, we have a RESPONSIBILITY to teach our children some BASICS. How to change a tire, how to kick where it counts, how to cook a basic meal (from scratch), how to mend a hole. It is time that we speak up and not get lost in the weeds.
