Putting the patriarchy to bed Yeah you heard right, thats what I said To many kids dead or aint been fed To many indigenous have bled
Yeah we're putting the patriarchy to bed The one outside and inside our head We planned it all we've made our own bed Time to awake, evolve and defend I'm not saying no men will lead There are many in power that we need To be way showers to the light, show they integrated the feminine sight Cause something has not been right U can feel it even if you aint been paying no attention It shows up in everything you mention and feel, you are an extension of what is real of collective consciousness - invention we planned this now time for intention how that for indigestion, now let me deal and make a suggestion to clean the wounds that have been festering, forgive all - who u won't mention and who you hate, forgive the wrongdoers and the fakes, send love to every soul, from pole to pole City to city, mother to son, and young to old No need for pity, we are all one, break out this mold Give back what you stole, Admit it when we lie, its burying you inside Be willing to be wrong, stop worryin bout looking good U don't have to be strong, or hurrying to be what you think u should U r whole perfect strong powerful Reflect that in the world and u will live long Loving, harmonious, and happy Its stunning, when all of us r sappy Full of passion and lacking greed But still human yet perfect indeed But when we admit our downfall Suddenly we feel that we belong To a universal force that holds you up Keeps you on course with no remorse
I honor each of you, for all your darkness and your light And the integration can now begin, this night
This is one of my favored YouTube guys. He's an affluent Queer from Northern California who went to Occupy Wall Street, stayed several weeks, and produced video blogs of his experiences. He's on his way home now, by bus. I highly recommend subscribing to his channel.

Highly recommended related watching: Do not waste your time watching this video. Instead, watch these:
A tremendously powerful, moving (though extremely depressing) scene from a movie I mentioned in my LGBT In Cinema video called One Night Stand. RDJ plays Charlie, a gay man dying of AIDS, and his friend Max (Wesley Snipes) returns to New York to come and help out when it gets really bad. I wanted to put this up because I think it's a fantastic scene and combines several things: a working example of how gay people are usually portrayed in films (ie. diseased, dying, 'cursed' somehow for their societal transgression), but a particularly *strong* performance/portrayal of a character in spite of that unfortunate storytelling choice by writer/director Mike Figgis *and* it also is a wonderfully strong atheist message. Be afraid, sure, but don't lose your courage. And, as well, this movie and Charlie as a character get an honorary mention on a list video I'll be doing soon about movies that do it right when it comes to lgbt characters. That'll be coming soon (maybe this weekend, if I'm feeling not-lazy).
This is transformational. It's like something Ursula K. LeGuin might have conceptualized. I think this is groundbreaking and I would love to see it applied to other, physical sciences.

Rogi Equality RiverstoneI don't give a rat's patooty what men think is attractive; that's torn the spirit of women for countless generations. I cane about women not hating ourselves, accepting ourselves and loving ourselves. I care about women living healthy, whatever their bodies look like. It's not a "hey, ladies, DUH!" thing. Most of us aren't stupid, you know. But I also know I modify my appearance to ward off PHYSICAL ATTACKS AND HARASSMENT from insecure, frightened men who don't seem to understand that adult women have body hair, that older women have facial hair, that body fat is normal, that physical disabilities are NOT an excuse to hurt me and that the images in magazines are so air brushed and photo shopped, they don't even look like the real women who were photographed. Men wanted prepubescent, hairless, scrawny, flat chested lolicons so badly, and madison avenue pushed the trend. The more women hate ourselves, the more of their garbage we'll buy, trying to feel better. they create, and feed, addiction. now, ask yourselves: why is the ideal of womanhood these days to look like a prepubescent lolicon? what does that say about men?
Dominique, nique nique over the land he plods along and sings a little song Never asking for reward He just talks about the Lord He just talks about the Lord
At a time when Johnny Lackland over England was the King, Dominique was in the backland, fighting sin like anything Chorus
Now a heretic, one day Among the thorns forced him to crawl Dominiqu' with just one prayer, Made hi hear the good Lord's call (To Chorus)
Without horse or fancy wagon, He crossed Europe up and down Poverty was his companion, As he walked from town to town Chorus
To bring back the straying liars and the lost sheep to the fold He brought forth the Preaching Friars, Heaven's soldiers, brave and bold Chorus
One day in the budding order, There was nothing left to eat, Suddenly two angels walked in With a load of bread and meat Chorus
Dominique once in his slumber Saw the Virgin's coat unfurled Over friars without number Preaching all around the world Chorus
Grant us now oh Dominique The grace of love and simple mirth That we all may help to quicken Godly life and truth on earth Chorus

Dominique, nique, nique S'en allait tout simplement, Routier, pauvre et chantant En tous chemins, en tous lieux, Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu, Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Share| I think the dominant problem is listed in the headline: the idea that someone can own another human being. By use of the possessive word, "your," all AJ has done is reinforce that concept. Women are not pleading with men to "give" us equality; that will never happen. What women need to do is support our sisters toward self-empowerment. It has nothing to do with men, directly, only on misogynistic impacts of men on women. You leave women out of the entire discussion by the very use of the headline. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem, AJ. Epic FAIL.
If you are not innumerate, you can start a business. If you are not living in mortal fear of rape and beatings at home, you can organise your community to dig a new well. If you are not subjecting your daughter to traumatic genital injury at three and marrying her off at ten, she can go to school. And, when she does marry and has children of her own, they will benefit from two educated, employed parents, which means twice as much literate conversation in the home, twice the contacts, and twice the encouragement to succeed. Educated, pushy mothers make all the difference.
As US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton put it in the Newsweek issue, "The world needs to think more strategically and creatively about tapping into women's potential for growth. Studies show that helping women access trade and grow businesses helps create jobs and boost incomes."
But on Planet Worst, forcing terrified, uneducated women to remain at home is more socially acceptable than facing the fact that this means choosing to drag down incomes for everyone. It is time to stop tiptoeing around the poorest countries' responsibility to do something essential about their own plight: Emancipate their women.

Decoy (also titled Decoy Police Woman) is a groundbreaking American crime drama television series which was created for syndication and initially broadcast from October 14, 1957 to July 7, 1958, lasting for thirty nine 30-minute black-and-white episodes. It was the first American police series with a female protagonist.
The series starred Beverly Garland as Casey Jones, a female police officer who is often assigned to work undercover (hence becoming the "decoy" of the title). The cast changed each week with Garland the only main continuing character, although there were several recurring characters, mostly her commanding officer and immediate colleagues.
The series was inspired by Jack Webb's Dragnet and used a similar format to that series, with Jones being portrayed as a serious, by-the-book, yet sympathetic cop with no personal life outside of her job. In the episode "The Sound of Tears", she reveals that the man she loved was a police officer who was shot and killed by the man he was sent to bring in.
Decoy is of historical significance as it was the first American television series to focus on the work of a female police officer. The series also featured early performances by actors such as Larry Hagman, Peter Falk, Al Lewis and Martin Balsam. Each episode was dedicated to the Bureau of Policewomen of the New York Police Department.
Many episodes focused on females being victims of crime and most episodes ended with Garland breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to the audience about the case just solved.
