Ideology, Minority be damned: Be all that you are, be WOMAN!

BettyJean Downing Kling

Do not let anyone, or any sub group divide you from the greater, more powerful group you belong to – it diminishes you to do so. Don’t buy it. Be all that you are.
Be WOMAN!

Organized religion just like organized political parties must keep their people in line- particularly their womankind. We are the majority after all. What would happen if the majority were to become empowered? Why they might try to think for themselves and get uppity enough to demand …

You get the point?

Anyone or any organization who wields power is not likely to easily give it up so they must find ways to convince those they want to keep down to stay in line! Having said that- we find that most folks women and men alike are happy to belong to a group and remain ensconced on one side or the other. Moreover, security in numbers, they are willing to surrender their souls (pardon the pun) to be part of a chosen group as opposed to “the other” group. It’s a shame that humankind has an “it’s me or you” mentality – but that is the way it is!

Just like the great wonders of the world and the great leaders who are credited for building them – it was really great management i.e. be it the strong arm of politics/big business keeping worker drones working, or slaves indentured or the deliberate threat of hell fire behind the faithful, working their way to heaven making to make God proud.

Without the faithful group members of any organization there is no organization! Think about that! Think about the majority- we women- and how the organizations have polarized us into Conservatives and Liberals in order to divide 52% of the population over a few issues and prevented a majority force from organizing and demanding equality!

Humankind are not much different than a pack of wolves at times, unfortunately with some women it’s more like a pack of cats! The pack’s survival instinct is to be ready to pounce or full out attack anyone who is different. We are women – not wolves or cats and we are the majority – acting like a minority. Moreover we divided down into even smaller minority groups making us even less effective. WHY? Wouldn’t we be more effective as the empowered majority?

Have heart- more and more of us are becoming independent thinkers! It can’t come soon enough for women to wise up and turn their backs on both organized religion and political parties both of which have emotionally abused women and left us behind in every way even now in 2011. We are not well represented and when we try to run for office we are ridiculed relentlessly because we are women and for no other reason. Both political parties and the media are guilty and apparently our voters are not yet enlightened either as evidenced by the treatment given Hillary and Sarah in 2008 then all the women running in 2010.

I’ll end as I started with this question?

“What would happen if the majority were to become empowered? Why they might try to think for themselves and get uppity enough to organize and demand equality and the end to sexism and misogyny, unfair DV laws, etc. etc . etc.?”

The Majority United – Ideology and minority differences be damned!
Empower Women to Unite & Mobilize!
