Feminism..?

Girl power whoo hoo!

Sometimes it baffles me how the achievements already made become so undervalued.

You don't just like a person or support a person just because they are female and it is supposively a female forward way of thinking....

You support them or like them because of the person they are and their values and their achievements, and it is that more amazing when they are women, because of all the obstacles they have faced back then... Back then. (as opposed to obstacles facing women now... accept that we have come pretty far compared to then, do not invalidate those achievements by saying we are still "repressed" like we were back then, we just have STILL a bit more to go, but acknowledge we are not like back then).


Wow. 1979 as Prime Minister of UK.

1979 people!

Just think about it.

I shamefully didn't until now. But more so now, it is ever more important when people are putting value to people who do not exactly have the best character but only just because they are "female". When people are filling "quotas" of gender or nationality, rather than based on qualifications. Equality is not about one aspect of a person, its treating the person on even plane on all aspects and respecting the differences.

Anyhoot, I will stop blabbering and fill the rest of this post by quotes from the late Margaret Thatcher, that a friend emailed me :


"do you know that one of the greatest problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas."

"we want a society where people are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. This is what we mean by a moral society; not a society where the state is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the state."

"I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand 'O have a problem, it is the Government's job to cope with it!' or "I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!' "I am homeless, the Government must house me!' and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through the people and people look to themselves first... There is no such thing as a society. There is a living tapestry of men and women and people and the beauty of that tapestry and the quality of our lives will depend upon how much each of us is prepared to take responsibility for ourselves and each of us prepared to turn around and help by our own efforts those who are unfortunate."
