Women Continue to be Unhappy with America
I read an article today revealing that most women in America are unhappy. I don’t believe this is news. I was a hairstylist for 20 years. Most of my clients were women of all ages. As we became more than ‘patron and service provider,’ they talked to me about things which were uncomfortable within their families and even among most of their closest friends.
First of all, no, I am not gay. However, most of the men who worked for me in my salon were. What I did share with my gay friends was a genuine concern for my customers in both their desires for a more appealing hairstyle, but also as people who needed to be heard.
The last four words are more important than you might think. Most of the women I became close to had the same complaint: “no one really listens to me. They want to ‘fix my problem,’ when all I really wanted was to be heard.”
In 1619, the first African slaves stepped onto American soil. Republicans would like to remove all facts about slavery and racism from our history books. This form of extreme racism continues in parts of America today, and the primary reason the United States has never been a great nation.
Women have been treated as second, and third class citizens throughout history. Some could be placed in the category of ‘indentured servitude.’. Marriage is a contract between two individuals, and when the expectations of that contract are violated by one party, this is cause to end that contract.
A recent Gallup poll discovered an alarming statistic. 40 percent of all women said that they would happily move to another country if the opportunity presented itself.
If you compare the guarantees in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution with reality, it is an undeniable fact that most women continue to fight for equality in America.
On June 24, 2022, six corrupt members of the Supreme Court removed the rights of all women to make choices related to their personal mental and physical health. The repeal of a decision made by a legitimate Court 49 years ago, known as Roe v Wade, revealed a total lack of respect for more than one-half of all of our nation’s people by our federal government.
Women’s displeasure with America escalated between 2016 and 2018 with the long overdue emergence of the “Me Too” movement and the election of confirmed sexual predator, Donald John Trump.
When I was a child, growing up in Los Angeles, my father’s actions of domestic violence greatly disturbed me. This was in the early 1950’s. I kept dimes in my pocket to use when my father became especially violent: usually when he was very drunk. The police did come, but never entered our home. At this point in American history, domestic violence was not considered a crime.
This problem has grown immensely since.
[An average of 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States — more than 12 million women and men over the course of a single year.]
My opinion about rapists, and those who commit physical violence against anyone incapable of defending themselves is a matter of record.
When a woman is raped, or a man, woman, or child, suffers physical violence repeatedly, a life is altered forever. In most situations, the physical damage will heal over time. However, the psychological damage is irreparable. The victim’s life has been taken away from him or her. This is tantamount to murder, and should receive punishment equal to that of someone who intentionally took the life of another.
For me, it makes no sense that women are forced to continue their fight for equality and respect in a nation which claims to place human rights in priority number one.
I am obligated to tell the truth. I am 79 years of age, and I no longer recognize the country in which I live.
I continue to find it an unimaginable crime that the worst man in the world was allowed to wear the title of President of the United States for a second time. His attacks on the very soul of America are crimes which must be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
