it saddens me to think that as far as women have gotten, it is not far enough.
I feel that the society norms which tells us that women can not trust other women, and can not deal with "stress" in the work force, and we are supposed to be these skinny sexy things, and yet fear sex.
I feel these do not help in fact they just demoralize us more.
I am proud of women who stand up and wont take the crap whatever that crap entails.
I am so proud of my mother who has worked in highway construction since the 80's and she still is doing so today, she still fights the boys club, and at time the girls club, who really expects it all to be fixed now.
I will always stand with women who are real.

Every act of strength and authenticity is important, no matter how small.
