Society has failed me like the underwire in my expensive bra!

I remember sitting in history class reading about the trials and tribulations of people of color and women of all and thinking to myself Thank GOD we are not there anymore. But only to realize we were still there in a sense and only enough progress to fill a few pages in my history books.

Living in the white male world or just a man’s world, I find myself thinking; who in the hell put them in charge? How did they figure they were in a place of dominance? I like to imagine that there was a guy with a mind eraser thingy from men in black. You know; running around, flashing the great women of the past and rewriting the history and present of woman. But it appears that it might just be some harsher, cruel, insidious way of power and control.

Power and control runs the world! You gain control, you have the POWER.

After viewing this tragic place we are in, women and people of color have been dominated by universal global abuse. But I will present my evidence of proof by using she, her and girlie pronouns.

1.       Stripping away her rights to her body (assertion of male privilege),

2.       Placing her in the home to raise her children (isolation and using children),

3.       Telling her this is a man’s place, a man’s job (Emotional abuse),

4.       Unfair wages (Economic abuse) and

5.       If she only would have covered up, no one would have raped her (minimizing and blaming).

They strip us of power and then insert the control. The constraints of this methods has held those consider minorities for centuries. Invading countries and inserting the power and control wheel of hell.

Laws are designed to protect and create order, right? Just like the $49.98 bra I bought, that only cause pain and confusion. We think it is there for our safety and we feel safe and secure knowing that this bra is taking care of us. And just like the laws of this land they fail us due to some human flaw or conspiracy of control. The wire breaks, pops, digs into you or falls out from under you. The laws are set up the same way for women and people of color. They say they will protect, they say liberty and justice for all. But we realize it is protection and liberty for just them. We as minorities know we are not the us they are protecting.

Where are we now? We stand, march, scream and cry, asking to be included. Burning the underwire of society and going rouge, fighting for freedom and true justice. Anyone who has ever seen a woman snatch her underwire out and throw it away; know there is a level of I don’t give a damn that is unmatched. So don’t discount us, don’t pacify us, coddle us with your “its better than it used to be”. Hear us because we are stripping the underwire and demanding our place!

Boobs a swinging

With love!!!!
