What’s up Bitchfaces? Family? Dirty hos creeping on me in the back row, keep being pathetic, but pay attention. I’m here to do some schooling.
Y’all know I normally don’t do Women’s Day, because every day should afford us equal rights and all that feminist shit I spout off about. This year, I’m jumping in like double dutch, and y’all know I mean business when I say that.
It’s been a rough year for us, and I won’t deny that. Losing autonomy, our own kind turning against us, legislation to force us into marriages we can’t get out of, Sis, I feel it. I won’t say it doesn’t sting, the slow march backward.
But, where we were few last year, when there were only a handful of women like me out here pulling bitches from the trenches, now there are hundreds. In my network alone, we span half the globe. We didn’t shrink under the threats, we grew bigger and ballsier and nobody I knew gave up the fight.
When they said they would shame us, we networked harder. When they threatened to jail us, we raised bond. They martyred a few of us, less than we expected, though, and we’re still here. Still working through this oppressive time, still seeing the next woman out of her nightmare.
Reproductive rights were never my fight, but women are, so here I am. And so are you, and we will make it. We lived through worse, some of us immeasurably worse, but we’re all here at tea time, and in fancy hats and all.
You’re important, and so are your dreams, and if you don’t have any, well, that’s okay too. Even if you don’t have anything to fight for, no reason to get involved, at some point you will. If you stand up for yourself today, you won’t regret it. I can’t tell you if you would if you fold, simply because I don’t know how to, so I never have.
I hope we see improvements soon, and if not, know that we’ll build another way out. Support one another in the interim, because we’re all we have. You should see that by now. It’s beyond plainly written, it’s the bold italic.
I know you already know that I care for you, but I’ll tell you again because I do. I’m for women being better women for the sake of bettering women, always have been. Take care of yourselves, ladies, and any other lady you can take care of, do that too.
Love

And speaking for this man only, I can throw in my hearty “amen” because we’re - quite literally - no where & nothing without women. Please do carry-on.
