Last edited Sat Sep 20, 2014, 11:09 PM - Edit history (1)
We come in many shapes and sizes~
Our color may differ yet we stand as One Woman~
Two feet firmly planted...will be joined with others~
Now we are many voices standing for our rights~
Together we sing and our voices rise in harmony ~
We are Strong. We are invincible. We are Women~
And~
We are Women- Watch us Soar~
Truth!~
I Am Woman
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am woman
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can face anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am woman
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

This is for seabeyond and bainesbane who seem to be IMHO alert stalked here. And for the loss of redqueen, you too Whisp. Stop silencing our voices. There is no need to talk over us. There is no need to shut us up or shut us down. Our voices and our goals are for our future, our childrens future. Why are you so afraid of us?
This is for every Woman on DU and beyond. This is for all the men that love us and fight for us every damn day. We are Women and we will not sit down and shut up. Some try to make us. Funny thing is, they have no clue who they are dealing with.

I have a question. Are you telling DUers not to alert on specific DUers no matter what they say?

That seems to be what she's saying, which is why I asked her a question about it..
