CARRIE ANNE'S ADVENTURES IN LIVING THE WOMB-BEING WAY

            What you're saying kind of reminds me of 70's feminism.

            I was part of that wild time, coming out of free love and into female power, women doing it for themselves, a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.

            But look how far that all got.

            Men still earn more than women, etc. etc.

            I bet you'd say that's because we asked permission for things to change, rather than just changing them ourselves.

            Rather than just not accepting anything but the change we wanted to see.

            Rather than just leaving male ways of doing things in the dust and beginning to do things in ways that made more sense, instead of continuing to ask the men in power to mandate change, or to allow it.

            And if this is what you'd say, you're probably right.

            If every woman stopped living the way her husband or boss or fashion expert wanted her to, things would have to change, because half the population wouldn't be going along for the ride...or taking the reins but still continuing on in the same direction, as we have been.

            It's kind of sad, really.
