In Defense
Of Women.
I'd like to commend Canada for bestowing upon Dr. Morgentaler the Order of Canada.
Not so much for the award itself, but for being progressive enough to realize that we don't live in the dark ages and someone needs to take a stand for women.
In case you don't know, Dr. Morgentaler fought the Supreme Court of Canada and won for the right to perform abortions back in the 80's. I don't know much more than that, you can look it up.
What I do know is this - I have a great admiration for anyone who helps out women.
In these 'modern' times, I can barely accept what I see in our 'civilized' society day in and day out, let alone the major atrocities that occur on a larger scale - violence towards women, rape, genital mutilation, unfair pay, and the list goes on.
If a man were EVER told what he could or could not do with his body, I don't even think we'd be talking about this.
I've recently struck upon the notion that I'd like to do more to help in what I consider to be one of the biggest flaws in society today - the treatment of women by their men.
We can all become happy, peaceful enlightened beings, living in green bliss on this little planet, but if we don't get along and live and love together, I don't really see the point all the time.
In researching just a little bit, I got nothing when i googled 'men helping women' and yet got page after page for 'women helping women'.
Come on guys, seriously, get over your damn selves, step up and act like real men.
The world is not about money or business or countries or politics or competing or any of the daily bullshit. That just keeps us busy.
It's about women. We love them, we want them, we need them and we cannot live without them.
To that end, and in honour and support of women everywhere I have started another blog, 'A Gentlemans Pursuit', aimed at being positive in its outlook as we move forward in our treatment of the fairer sex in our society.
I have A LOT to say about that, and I'm absolutely sure it will be beautifully controversial, but I'll leave here for now with this:
We're all brought into this world through a woman and it is only together that we can make great lives for ourselves.
We need to try harder.
