Distraction

By keeping us busy finding fault with ourselves they waste our time.  By advertising solutions to fixing those problems they squander our money.  Those who have the most to gain by keeping us distracted are the ones that fight the hardest to keep the status quo – women disempowered and squabbling amongst ourselves.

What if we woke up to this fact and stopped being manipulated?  What if rather than waste our time and squander our money we focused on doing work that helped us reclaim our voice so that we can have a say in how we live our lives and how we are treated?  
What if we did this by refusing to support organizations that objectify, denigrate and mistreat women?  These organizations are easy to find, just watch TV, read a magazine or troll the web.

What will it take for women and men to stand up and say enough is enough?
