binders of women

"Biology is destiny." various white males

i know i know, have been lax is writing of late.
many many reasons-failing health,doctors visits,
driving SM to doctors visits,weekly physical therapy
etc etc etc.

i want to write about stuff i do ido
but every time i think about writing about politics
and drone strikes and faux CLEAN COAL b.s.
i just want to scream and curse.

the election looms and soon i hope to get back
on some sort of regular posting.
Z Man gripes that i post too many links
but he is young and unaware of my health limits.


but that is NOT what i wanted to write about today
"binders of women"
the phrase that lingers
PATRIARCHY has been a worldwide
binder of women;
burkas,Chinese foot binding,
traditional Japanese bonding of female breasts to
make kimonos hang flatter,
female circumcisions
denying females education
MALE dieties
fashion
anorexia/bulemia
psychological crippling vanity.
we are not a society which can afford to
discard half of its collective brainpower

witness CLIMATE CHANGE
and its deniers.

there is a Brit TV series
on LinkTV
"Global Wives" i think
(only saw two episodes)
which puts Brit wimmin into
native societies for a few weeks
a realish "reality series"
and it becomes nakedly apparently,often literally,
the roles wimmin play in stablizing any society.

without wimmin men devolve in warfare
and posturing and cruelties.

we have to do better
Rhandi Rhodes the talkshow host
describes Mittens as a "douche"
something worthless that is sold
as being good for you...
i couldn't say it any better
could i?
