(34,107 posts)that song came out my first year in college I believe, 1971. It got me through so many break ups, disappointments, being told that I should go home and get married and have babies rather than go to college even when I carried 18 hours and made over a 3.0 grade point. Being paid less than the man I was training. Oddly it still rings in my mind way too often. I had thought back then that it was only a short time until we could put our struggles behind us because, WHAT? How could anyone not see the importance of letting us participate? Well there ya have it. At 60 I am tired of it all and angry, downright damned angry that it is really not a whole lot better than it was then and maybe not at all. Not where it matters anyway.
Thank you to you sheshe2 and all the others that fight it here every day. My fight has been elsewhere because I thought I already did this one and quite frankly I am sick to death of having to prove I should be allowed to exist unmolested and uncontrolled by others notions of what I should be. Keep it up ladies. It is a long and hard struggle.
