61. +1 zillion!

I don't know why we don't fight for these things. Women's human rights have always been lesser, not talked about, as if it were some embarrassment. "Women have it great, there's no discrimination". Bullshit! We are disregarded and dehumanized in a way that is....gee, I am suddenly at a loss to explain it.....

This may seem small, but I keep comparing how media handles black History Month and Women's History Month. (Basically, women's History Month is invisible. There are NO public Education Spots introducing various great and talented women, women who influenced our cultural, scientific, artistic and/or intellectual heritage)
