Julie gets it.
Julie,
Your comment on a previous post (copied below) has blown a breath of fresh air through my life. Never before have I heard a Kiwi woman state the reality I’ve lived in nz for over 20 years so clearly, honestly and powerfully…..
movement. But now us women are in control. We are calling the shots. But while we are calling the shots, we are destroying our men. Not only are we saying that men are horrible human beings but we are telling them they should be something they were not born to be.
We are telling them that we as women are not just important and that our feelings are not just important but we are teaching our young children that that if they are males then theirs are not important. And we are doing this by the power we are controlling and by the funding we are receiving.
Basically, we are out of control. We have taken so much power that we have forgotton that maybe men need some power.
I’ll continue to dream of the day when it’s commonplace for women in nz to express such sentiments publically.

Stephen,
This is your work for not giving up on us females. When this changes I think you should give yourself credit. But you will never get the recognition that you deserve, there will be no shrine, just a hand full of people will lift their glass of beer to say ‘Good on you brother and thanx for your persistance.’
I try to imagine what it must be like for you to have spoken to so, so many women what seems to be so basic to me now. We must have driven you near to madness. “How could we not see it as plainly as you”, is what I am sure you have asked yourself many, many times.
I guess, we too are just mere women like you are just a mere man.
But we do get it. And more of us will get it. I wish I could hand you a different day right here and now but I can’t for this is going to take some time. But at least I will go to the grave knowing that I became more than just a watcher in my life. And if there is some form of God to ask me,”What did you do with the gifts that I gave you?” I can tell a story that is more than I was too frightened and hurt so i buried my gold. I can say that I invested my gold to help others and that my investment made me so, so rich.

Personally I think it’ll be quicker an easier to just go and have a sex change op.
