PUSHING THINGS OUT OF ME

I sorta like Facebook.

In my current life, it's most of my social contact during the day. Really.

And I do have a lot of conservative, Republican friends, both on Facebook and off.

And I just can't keep quiet sometimes.

So here is an example.

Dear Women's March,

As I sit here watching the news, I'm trying to wrap my mind around just what it is you're marching for.

Perhaps, in your mind, there's some "noble cause", perhaps you feel the need to be a "voice", or maybe you are in desperate need of attention (nothing like wearing a vagina hat to accomplish that goal).

I'm trying to understand just what "rights" you think are or will be taken away from you.

As a WOMAN, I understand that I have rights as well as RESPONSIBILITIES.

For instance, I have the right to vote; however, it's MY RESPONSIBILITY to do so.

I have the right to work; however, it's MY RESPONSIBILITY to go to work.

I have the right to birth control; however, it's MY RESPONSIBILITY to purchase and take them and/or use other measures.

I have the right to free speech; however, it's MY RESPONSIBILITY to use my words with caution in order to protect other's rights.

I have the right to assemble; however, it's MY RESPONSIBILITY to assure I'm not damaging other's property in doing so.

You see, there's a difference between "fighting for rights" and shifting RESPONSIBILITY and it seems to me and the majority of the free world, that shifting responsibility is your true goal.

Tell me, what "right' has been or will be taken from you?

Clearly you must have voted....didn't you?

Clearly you assembled.....didn't you?

Clearly your freedom of speech is intact, as you marched around in vagina hats shouting absurdities showing the nation your lack of tact and self respect...but hey, that's your right, you go girl.

Make no mistake about it when I say, YOU DO NOT REPRESENT ME nor the many women I know.

So here is my reply:

I have the right to vote; BECAUSE WOMEN VOTE FOR THAT RIGHT.

I have the right to work; WE ARE PROTESTING FOR YOU TO ALSO GET PAID EQUALLY FOR THAT WORK.

I have the right to birth control; DID YOU KNOW THAT MEN GET VIAGRA COVERED BY THEIR MEDICAL INSURANCE?

I have the right to free speech; BECAUSE WOMEN FOUGHT FOR THAT RIGHT.

I have the right to assemble; BECAUSE WOMEN FOUGHT FOR THAT RIGHT.

You see, there's a difference between "fighting for rights" and shifting RESPONSIBILITY – AND NO ONE IS TRYING TO TAKE THAT RESPONSIBILITY FROM YOU, SWEETIE.

I MAY NOT REPRESENT YOU – but I’d like to. If you’re content and happy with lesser pay, lesser opportunities, and can settle happier for the fights WHICH OTHER WOMEN HAVE WON FOR YOU, that’s great.

I want more for myself, my daughter and my granddaughter.
