Re: African-Americans Are Boycotting The Oscars
There is indeed a war on women, and a lot of the ones waging it are women. There are young'uns out there saying things like "I don't need feminism because I can get a great job and support myself." Um, duh, honey. That is what we fought for. In my lifetime we couldn't wear pants to school, had separate help-wanted ads for male & female, couldn't get a credit card, buy a house, or get a lease without a man's signature. I am incredibly fortunate and grateful that these things changed, or should I say unfolded, just as I was approaching the age to need them! (Except getting my tubes tied - I tried that at age 27 and was refused!)
What a lot of today's sentiments stem from is egotistical thinking. "I feel so wonderful when I see the color blue, it should be everyone's only color choice, and they will feel as great as I do, and I have to make sure everyone knows about it." - only with religion.
