Herstory

I love the feminist movement. It started with giving women equal rights to vote and own land and work and now it has turned into a colossal mess. Yes, all "men" were created equal in the eyes of God and therefore should be given the same rights as the next man. Should that sentence read, "...all men and women were created equal in the eyes of God and therefore should be given the same rights as the next man or women.?"

It has been harder for women to move up the corporate ladder than it has for men. And I think that women are generally stronger than men emotionally and spiritually! But for God's sake isn't changing the word history to herstory taking it a bit too far? Isn't having to add the word "women" or the word "she" or the word "woman" to every sentence getting a bit redundant. People knew what Neil Armstrong meant when he said "One giant leap for man." He meant all of humanity. I mean the guy just walked on the moon (allegedly) and he has to worry about some feminist group suing him for not including women in his speech! That is completely ruidiculous!

So I am proposing something new and I think that all men in the world and most women could care less either way. Let's change it to herstory and she and her and womankind! I don't give a damn. There are far more important things going on in this world to worry about, and offending a small population of women who think that I, as a male am somehow exerting my dominance over women by peeing standing up or saying mankind or opening a door for them is not one of them.

Men and women are different in many ways and that should be celebrated. I mean thank God that women don't look like men or the human race would quickly die out! I for one am a big fan of women! For me chivalry is not dead... far from it! I will continue to open doors for women, treat my future wife, sisters, mother, mother-in-law and all other women with the respect and dignity they well deserve. Not because I feel dominant over them or wish to exert my power over them but that they deserve to be pampered. Women rule!

Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily this is not difficult. -Charlotte Whitton
