Again, Let me say that I am not saying that all muslim men are violent brutes. Did I ever say that? I’ve worked with a few muslim men in Asia, and not one showed me any signs of disrespect, and I was their superior at the work place. They were perfect gentlemen, and a delight to work with. And why get on my case? It was the muslim women who wrote in screaming about their men, and hatred for them, not me. And dear Cruel Secretary….before you like Fatemeh start putting words into my mouth, I am well aware of the atrocities that many men of many color, and lack thereof, around the world commit. I am not sitting here eating bon bons with my thumb up my ass reading Cosmo. You obviously haven’t read any past posts where white men were getting their share.  Women abuse is rampant and I will say it one last time….It is not just reserved for the muslim men in this world. (Hell, for all I know, Fatemeh could actually be a muslim man posing as a woman.) Men in all cultures have been abusive. I am not singling out any one group nor am I lumping them all together and calling all men abusive. Are we on the same page now? 

Hmm…You know, I have to stop. 

I am feeling defensive and I feel my ego rising, and I don’t want to go there. We could keep bantering back and forth with these attacking attitudes, point by point, and I still feel we would get no where, so I am going to graciously bow out or at least take a breath and leave my egoic emotions to rest.   

Okay, as I read back on my posts, perhaps in my excited passion to help, my emotions interfered and I did not choose my words wisely, articulating myself clearly. I feel I am not being heard, and my thoughts are, you are feeling the same way too. Perhaps in wanting those in need to know that I have heard them, I neglected to give equal time to  those that just wanted to be heard too.  It seems I have given the impression that I have chosen sides when I have just given more time to those that asked for support. No opinions were discounted intentionally, I just chose to give more focus to those that supported what I was bringing to light. I am not attached to any side of the story, and if I could ‘decide’ the story, the one I’m shedding light on wouldn’t be it. 

My feeling is that the information, the side that no one wants to talk about, the side that is too painful to discuss, the side that people would rather not hear, needs more light shed on it for it to sink into people’s lives and have more of an impact than page 10, in the bottom left-hand corner of some newspaper. There is of course the other side, there always is, but that was not my focus. Perhaps, it deserves some equal time too. 

Racist? No. But, perhaps if you had just tuned into my blog you might come to that conclusion since I have been riding pretty hard on the muslim man, but if you have been reading my blog for over the past year you would see that the majority of the brunt has been given to the white man in defense of the OTW’s (other than whites). And not just in the abuse of women but abuse on a global level in regards to not only women, but people, animals, the environment.  

Sexist meme? – Not sure what that is but I rescue dogs not women.  Rescuing animals have always been my passion. It has never been my passion to rescue or to save women. I have a large readership. My goal to help women has been to bring these subjects to light on my blog and to discuss ideas, and collaborate.  As I mentioned I don’t know what to do but bringing it to focus is the first step.

I guess what disappoints me the most over the past few days is that egos have gotten in the way, judgement has raised it’s ugly head, and good intentions have been overlooked. And because of this we women are not connecting.  Maybe this discussion is too sensitive to have over the internet where misconceptions can easily be made.  There is no intonation to be heard, there is no facial expression to be seen, and this topic is just too close to heart, too personal, and we have not gotten up close and personal enough. 

It is obvious that where we stand now, we are women of different cultures and backgrounds that are challenged when we try come together via a common purpose, where clear communication and understanding is paramount,  and realizing where support is needed or even desired.  Although I may not know much about the everyday details and lives of many, what I do know is that women abuse is widespread…..and I will continue to learn, to write about it, and support women where support is wanted. And lastly, that we have a long way to go. 

So, I am going to put my ego aside and really look at what all of you have written. I am humbled by this experience. I have learned much, and I am grateful.  Mostly I have learned that I need to learn more. Thanks for participating and being a voice for many. 

So…onto my topic for the day: 

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSBgH_wf5bc&hl=en&fs=1]

Yes, it is still the focus of women but actually one in particular: Sarah Palin, McCain’s pick for VP.  I knew nothing of this woman and when I researched her, I discovered that she has been the Governor of Alaska for only two years. And before that, she served two terms on the city council of Wasilla, Alaska, (population 6,700) and two terms as mayor/manager of Wasilla, Alaska.   And prior to that, a political reformer and hockey mom.  Hmmm….

How can McCain  point out over and over again of Obama’s lack of experience in foreign policy and defense matter, and then pick Palin as his VP with even less experience? Ah…actually none. Obama’s ‘lack of experience’ has been the republicans strongest argument against him. Could they be shooting themselves in the foot and blowing their chance at the presidency? I certainly hope so. 

Nothing personal against this woman, but speaking strictly business, a month ago in an interview, Palin dissed the VP position stating that it didn’t seem ‘produuctive’ and that she didn’t even know what the VP did.  Well hopefully she won’t get the chance to learn on our dime and time.  Palin is a conservative, pro-lifer, who would be right up there supporting McCain in overturning Roe v Wade -  that in itself is scary enough and my reason for not wanting her in.  She also believes that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.  So much for Gay rights. I would expect that coming from a conservative. Well, it’s obvious she’s the ticket they feel they need in order to score those white conservative women votes. 

But does she really think she can handle the job? Do you? Like I said, Hopefully we won’t have to find out.  Can you imagine if McCain became President and died and Palin became the President running our country?  We can be rest assured if McCain gets voted in, an assassination would never take place.  I know it’s a stretch,  but could that be part of his motivation of choosing her besides the obvious above?  I wouldn’t put anything past the Republicans. Oh, but that’s right, the ones who rip the people off daily, and strip us of our rights and privileges don’t get assassinated or even put in jail for their crimes. (yet.)  No, the JFK’s and the MLK’s, the ones who fight for the people, they are the ones who get assassinated.  

Where Obama is fighting for the people, stating, ‘it is not about him, it’s about the American people’,  McCain shows us blatantly, ‘it’s all about him’….and his cronies of course. 

Thoughts? Blog me.

Gratefully your blog host,

Good Morning. Today is a mish mash of thoughts…

I just received a comment from Fatemeh on my article: ‘Killing in the name of honor’. Fatemeh is an author on a wordpress blog called: Muslimah Media Watch.  Fatima, her fellow author, has written a few articles about ‘honor killing’.  I found them pretty interesting…Perhaps you will too.  

Hello Fatemeh: It seems that you and your fellow authors and readers perspective of ‘honor Killing’ are a bit different, a bit more gentle, when it comes to the Muslim men than the Muslim women that left many comments on my blog that day, including the one yesterday from Ali. (Ali:Thanks for chiming in) Have you read? You somewhat defend the Muslim man.  Now I am not saying that all Muslim men are how Ali described them, ‘They are men of small character. They are basically men who have contributed nothing significant to the world. They are the most ignorant group of men on the planet. They are the men who whine the most about the least. They practice a cult that gives them the power to pimp, enslave, and rape their female women and children at will.’  She said more but I think you get my point.  

But in regards to the term ‘honor killing’, I do agree that it is a form of domestic violence, but I have to agree with your commentator ‘Forsoothsayer’: ‘while i don’t think that all incidents of domestic violence involving Muslims are honour killings, it is true that women are not being killed because of honour related reasons by any other communities I’ve heard of.’  She has a point here. 

And as far as Fatima’s description of Muslim women being set up to look like ‘timid, submissive, brainwashed children’, yes I think the media will and have presented Muslim women as such but I think no such thoughts of Muslim women that way. In fact I think that Muslim women are some of the toughest, smartest women. You would have to be to put up with all of the control etc. I am being ‘nice’ here…I don’t need to go into the characteristics of Muslim male behavior – we all know. 

In regards to Ajay Nair’s comments…he is a Muslim man yes? Need I say more?

I will end with that I do agree that violence towards women is not just reserved for Muslim women, but an issue we must address as it is happening to many women in different cultures around the world. I agree with Fatima, it is EXTREMELY important that we recognize that abuse of women is happening in all cultures. Not sure if you read any articles that I wrote following the ‘honor killing’ article, but I have addressed the atrocities that are happening to women in Darfur and Congo as well, and if you continue to read my blog you’ll see that my rants aren’t over yet.  Women need to be heard and I am shouting loudly. 

Women….any readers: Thoughts?

*************

Speaking of women…did you hear Michelle Obama’s speech last night at the DNC?  I did. I loved it. I was so inspired by the way she talked about change, hope, women, etc.  She moved me to a few tears. It wasn’t too over the top or overly dramatic; just honest, open and friendly.  She connected to everyone by relating that her and Barack’s upbringing is that of the average American’s upbringing. I loved that she felt so grounded and approachable…someone that I could see myself easily getting into a conversation with and feeling totally comfortable. I think she did a great job, and I was proud to see her up there in her glory. They represent the American dream for many. Too funny that Rachel Maddow from MSNBC kept calling the Obama’s, ‘The Huxtables’. I love that woman’s quick-tongue reporting style.  

On a more serious note…The Wall Street poll stated that 1 out of 5 women who were on the bandwagon for Hillary are claiming that they are going to vote for McCain.  And ABC’s poll stated that one third of the Clinton supporters are either undecided or they’re voting for McCain.  How one, especially women, can go from Hillary to McCain baffles me.  Let’s hope Michelle’s speech will influence and inspire them to vote for Obama. Hey, maybe they’ll pull a “Bradley Effect” and flip sides in the booth…This time, and for the first time, the change of minds will be beneficial for the Democrats. 

Oh…and loved Michelle’s quote, ‘This time…we listen to our hopes instead of our fears.’  We’ve been motivated by fear from the administration for too long. It is a time of hope and I think everyone feels it…we’re ready for change.  In the bigger picture…it is ‘randomness looking for order…’, and Obama happens to be ‘order’.

Ah…one more thing…  

Readers:  You know that I love getting comments from all of you.  I only have one request:  Please, although I am given a heads up when a comment is posted, it would be much more fun and interactive for everyone if you my dear readers, who want to make a comment on my past articles, to please post your comment on the present day.  Just reference the title and date of the article in your comment  and that way other readers besides myself can be in on the conversation and we can keep it contemporary.  I will be adding this request to the left hand column in the Blog Rules of Conduct for your future reference. I hope that everyone will comply as it keeps everyone in the loop..and you have to admit, you don’t want to be left out of the loop! – Understood?  Anyone want to bitch about this – blog me. 

Okay biz done. 

Have a beautiful day!

How was the weekend?

Lots happened it seems….I got a text message at 1:53 am on Saturday morning announcing that Obama chose Biden as his VP. Hmm…I guess someone thinks I’m important enough to get the word out :)  

We haven’t had a chance to talk about it but what does everyone think about Biden? He has many years under his belt, especially in foreign policy, an area that many feel Obama could use a little help in. I’m all for it.  Secretly I was hoping for Hillary but with the way she was campaigning against Obama, it seems there was little chance he was going to pick her. Unless…her backing down had anything to do with him choosing her for VP – evidently not. At this point I am up for anyone who can bring Obama closer to just getting in. Hopefully Biden is the right choice. We’ll soon see….

On another note…did you see the closing ceremony of the Olympics last night?  I have to hand it to the Chinese – they ended it with an amazing show. Overall the best opening and closing shows I have ever seen….hands down.  The creativity was endless, and I would love to know who all the choreographers were. Brill!

It was cool to see the highlights – those are always fun. I got into watching many more of the sports this year than in previous years. Love the field and track. Especially the Jamaican winner ? Bolt? Damn that guy can run! Could he have a more perfect name? He is so elegant and effortless. 

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unYaQ39d_l0&hl=en&fs=1]

May and Walch, the dynamic volleyball duo, as usual had me glued to the TV but I missed the finals – too late for me :( And Phelps…could he clean up any more so? I hear he is destined to make more money in the next few years than any other sports figure  - I guess we’ll be seeing him in every ad from Speedo to Wheaties…oh that’s right, he decided to go with Frosted Flakes instead. 

Although, being a competing gymnast when I was younger, my all time favorite has always been the women’s gymnastics. Funny though, I didn’t get into it this year too much.  I saw the highlight of gold medalist for floor exercise, Romania’s Sandra Izbasa and I witnessed America’s gold medalist Shawn Johnson on the beam, but I have to say as talented as they are in executing all of those crazy twisting moves, they didn’t inspire me much.  Technically, it was all there but I felt they were lacking in spark and personality. Olga and Nadia they are not.

Readers: Your favs? Thoughts on anything this Monday morning?

Have a good one….peace out.

I thought this was interesting.  The pill, the great sexual liberator for women over the past four decades could have another side affect that we weren’t aware of until now.  British scientists conducted a study which suggests that taking the Pill can change a woman’s taste in men — ‘to those who are genetically less compatible.’  

Without getting into the genetic details the gist of it is this: Experts believe that women are naturally attracted to men with immune system genes different from their own because of their smell. The pill affects their sense of smell, altering the type of male scent that women find most attractive, which may  result in a woman ultimately choosing the wrong partner. 

Picture this:  A woman is on the pill, obviously sexually active. (Or maybe not but she is ready just in case that bubble bursts.)  She meets  a man that she kinda digs. They go out a few times…they’re attracted to each other…so when the time is right they engage in sex. The relationship gets more serious, they fall in love and they marry. All is good.  Then they decide to have a baby.  She stops taking the pill and suddenly she no longer finds her husband as attractive as before. His ‘scent’ no longer turns her on. Hmm….could this be the reason why so many women no longer want to have sex in their marriages? Somehow I doubt but these Brits could be onto something.  

I would love to know if any of you women out there have experienced this change of heart when you stopped taking the pill.  Or has your husband  just turned into a lousy lover and these Brits are just bs’ing? (We know the size of their penises! Sorry my Brit readers….nothing personal – I just couldn’t resist a little fun.) Hahhaha !! Do tell!

***********

Hi ???????:  Is this your name? Sorry I can not tell from the translation. Oh well…Thank you! I love traveling in Greece – One of my most fav places in the world. Got engaged on the island of Patmos -Beautiful! In fact we were just saying the other night how we would love to go live there for a year or so…especially if you know who gets into office.  And speaking of…I thought I would just end it with this ‘quote of the week’:

Question to McCain: How many houses do you own?

McCain:  He paused and said, “I think—I’ll have my staff get back to you.”  

Hmm…Gee I can’t remember how many I own either.

Got to run…chat amongst yourselves.  

Oh and FYI: ZL and Shelli: Jonolan did respond. I think he’s waiting for some answers from you Lill. You must’ve missed him LOL and his q in the last comment under ‘The Bradley Effect…’. I think he deserves an answer, don’t you?

Ciao ciao for now.
