What the hell is going on in the world today? Really, I am trying to figure this out. I am not sure if it is because I am getting *ahem* older that I am paying more attention, or if the world is really changing that much and it's all rearing its ugly head this election year. There are so many of them I don't know where to rant first.
I am not a political genius, I wouldn't even venture to say that I am politically well informed (yes I realize the irony) but I am trying hard to understand why the government is so hell bent on telling us
A. what we can and cannot do with our bodies
B. who we can and cannot marry (they get the licensing fees regardless of sex)
C. what should and should not be covered by insurance companies
D. what does and does not constitute a slut.
Really the list could go on and on. I saw today an article about a Republican Senator spouting about single mothers causing child abuse by not being married, REALLY!?!? How on earth does the blame not fall on the father's as well for starters. Also, are we going to begin charging them with child abuse? Sounds crazy right, but at the rate the insanity is spreading it doesn't seem all that far off.
What's even funnier to me is, the government is extremely vocal about abortion and the evil's of it , they don't want women to take birth-control pills, they don't want anything other than abstinence only sex education in the schools and NOW they want to blame the women for being single-moms too??
Is this some sick sadistic not so passive aggressive punishment women had coming to them for that evil women's liberation movement. Is it a ploy to beat us down, and force us back into the kitchen and out of our dastardly free thinking ways. Is it because *GASP* women starting expecting equality in the house as well as outside of it?
I am so perturbed this election year, I'm not sure how much more campaigning I can handle.
