Ladies-
What are we waiting for? Dinosaurs? If you haven't noticed we haven't done enough regarding women's issues. I know what you are thinking, feminism is wrong somehow? I've been there. I remember it perfectly. I was discussing how Mulan was a great addition to the Disney princess movies because finally a strong female character is being portrayed. A male member of the church told me being a feminist was "wrong."

Wanting to be treated fairly is not feminism. Wanting the same opportunities as your male coworkers is not feminism. You can still respect men and DEMAND respected in return!

We haven't done enough. I've seen it first hand.
Was take your daughter to work day all in vain? Here is daddy's job but you can only expect to be a secretary... I mean Administrative Assistant. Even if you are promoted out of an admin role, expect to be treated like one based only on your gender. Because sweetheart, princess, men make the money. Men are smarter, and better leaders.

Well guess what Boys Club, you didn't know who you were throwing under the bus. You didn't know I've seen Mulan AND Jurassic Park. And your male membership card will only get you so far.

I don't care if I have to work harder just because I am a woman. But I won't be last.

Let's go get em girls!!!!
