Hey Everyone!! 😊
With the election in less than two weeks, I thought this might be a good time to remind everyone of a couple things. Enjoy! 😉
Excerpt from Answers from Alyce:
"Because our courts have largely been taken over by religious fundamentalist extremists who don't consider women to be people worthy of the same rights as other people. It's hard to maintain a cheerful outlook when you know that any existing laws that protect the rights of women are likely to be struck down within the next few years."
"Can anything keep that from happening?"
I shrugged. "As always, maybe if there is enough public outcry. But I think the odds of that are low. People are just too busy trying to survive to constantly keep fighting against all the horrible things the people in power are trying to do to us. Eventually, most people reach a limit in their ability to continue to resist and they just give up."
"But the things they are fighting against don't go away."
"No. They don't. And the people who are doing those things are only emboldened when they get away with their evil and no one even protests. But, realistically, that's what often happens. There's only so much energy and attention most people can devote to fighting. Which is why the people in power have designed the system the way that they have."
I walked away from the exhibit and rubbed my neck. My head felt like someone had planted the brass section of a band inside it, and they were playing a marching tune. Sighing, I shook my head, trying to shake away the pressure. "Sorry, boys, it's just really hard not to take this matter personally."
