Stand up girl! Let's hear your voice.

It is disturbing to me to see that women health rights are berated and discounted in the Republican Party. The mainstream Republican leadership not only ignores the rights of their own women but deny any medical rights to all American women. Pretty much like the Taliban in Afghanistan.

I personally would like to hear more from women. Women in America need a louder voice. They need more representation in congress and in state legislatures. States need more women governors and attorneys General. More women in city and county governments. After all, women make up about 51 or 52-percent of the national population. But only have a ten or fifteen percent representation. Why?

Women! Where are you? Speak up! Shout! Start pushing and shoving. Get in the fight. Take off the gloves. Scratch. Pull hair. Kick’em in the groin. Make your presents known.

Failure for women to get involved will only result in less and less attention to women’s medical needs and rights. Go gettem girl! Smash the glass ceiling. Break down the sexist barriers. Make men pay you respect. Scream! Fight! Take your share of the civil and human rights.

Parents, it’s time to teach your girls independence, self-respect, and a greater self-worth. Give them the emotional and moral tools to make it on their own. Of course, this is done by respecting their gender and stop “girlyizing” them. Treat them to be adults, not love objects or possessions.

Dads! Treat your girls as you treat your sons. Show them how to be tough. Life is not easy. Also dads, teach your sons to respect women. Keep your sons busy and their minds off sex. Yes, it can be done. Moms, teach your girl children to say NO! No sex until the right time.

Women stand up! Unite. Collect your voices and shout, “I Am Somebody!” Get out there and shove and make your way in the sexist world. You are woman. Hear your roar!

Most of all men need to stop making laws and policy for women. Let women do that. Women! It’s your turn to make policy and laws. Go gettem girl!
