X Marks the Spot -


So I’m sitting here right.  Thinking.  Remembering.  Pondering even, on this thought: The Bag Over Head, Face Down Ass Up Syndrome.  Its much deeper than it’s surface letters. 
Rule #1 when on the battle front:  Identify your enemies.
Politicians could truly give a shit about women.  Hell, half of them don’t even care about the women they are married to.  Look at how many marriages have publically crumbled during and shortly after campaigns have ended.  Women have to smile in front of camera’s, put on lipstick and pretend the heels they wear can make them rise above the situation.  Sir j.Edwards’ wife was battling breast cancer when he created life with someone….else, of which he only admitted to after his tangled web finally caught him up.   And don’t get me wrong; I know it takes two to tango.  But see, this isn’t about infidelity, it’s much deeper than that.  It is to say if one doesn’t respect the woman he sleeps with, has made family with and shared vows with [and who just so happens to be dying of breast cancer], why on Earth would it be inconceivable to believe that the laws he propose are solely based on his political gain amongst his constituents and adversaries.  FUCK THIS SHIT.
What kind of disrespectful night of Cuban cigars, Amsterdam girls and high end Scotch does it take to drum up the some of the ideas that they actually present to be passed as law?  In the world of politics, women have once again become the X that marks the spot.  We are targets with missiles being shot towards both our brains and our wombs.  We are treated like submissive whores who need to be told when we can prevent pregnancies and when we can choose to end them.  When we can PREVENT them and how we should raise them.  God forbid we are one of the millions of women who need the government’s assistance because our would be baby-daddy isn’t helping and our paychecks aren’t enough to buy us independence.  But hmmm….this brings about another point: had birth control been in my purse instead of on the floor of the House of dick & balls, then maybe it could have been prevented….question mark
Me: “excuse me boss….I do not need Orthro Tri Cyclen because of health reasons.  I don’t want to get pregnant sir.  Can it please be included in the insurance that is coming out of the paycheck of which I earn everyday?”
Boss: *gasping and choking on his high end tea* Kendria!!! Are you trying to tell me you are…..having sex?  You want me to pay you to have sex? Are you some kind of after hour prostitute or something?  I tell you what.  Stop having so much sex if you can’t afford decent contraception.  Here at P. Niss Hans & Associates, we are not pimps nor are we jons.  Please go.  Oh and there is no pregnancy leave for admins.”
Sound impossible????
Some the “boss’ “ comments were bits and pieces of the rant Rush Limbaugh went on, live, against a women who spoke up to the ridiculousness of insurance companies requiring proof of health reasons in order to pay for female contraception.  That is the most ridiculous shit I have ever heard, but you know what it REALLY is???
Humiliating. 
As it is to have a woman continously seek counseling in the event she wants an abortion.  Oh sure, FORCE her into an ultra sound.  So what if she’s been raped, make her stare at her rapist’s baby on the screen.  Call it human.   You said your dad raped you and you’re now pregnant?? No worries, you can abort the baby, but only after a series of hulimating and daunting tasks in attempt to pass time so quickly that you are forced into keeping the baby by default. 
Of which none of the government…..none of the politicians and none of the picketers will be there to help you deal with all your harsh realities.
No campaign trail will lead to your front door to put food on the table.  Public schools will be your only option and don’t you dare use another address to send your child to a good school.  They have a full cell for common robbers like that.  It won’t be long before they propose uterus exams in order to get food stamps. 
Life begins 2 weeks before conception. ….let Arizona tell it.
But life continues after birth for at least 18 years of responsibility.
But this isn’t about responsibility.  This isn’t about population or birth or babies or fetus’ for that matter.  This is about the dick and ball show feeling challenged because they finally see  JUST how powerful us women REALLY are.
“put that bag over your head bitch and populate earth!!”
They want us to be Apple Betty’s, at home with a frilly apron on, baking chocolate chip cooks for no fucking reason.  They want us to be vacuuming when they walk in the door smelling their concubines.  Yeah, remember, LOTS of these politicians cheat on their wives.  But we already sorta addressed that.  When Hillary Clinton had the balls; the guts and the belief in herself, as well as the political backing to even try to run for PRESIDENT of the United States….a DICK position…..that’s when every thing shifted. 
True we’ve been fighting women’s right for years.  But when Hillary did pushed her audacity across the showroom floor, that’s when the war officially got back on track.
And we are up to bat.  The battle front is littered with bullets.  Don’t leave home without your armor.  And please,
don’t let them snatch you and put a bag over your head.  This ain’t over.  Politicians aren’t even a half of our enemies. Stay tuned for part 3.
