Girls Night

So like six friends and I had a girls night last night. it was so much fun, we talked about all kinds of things made fun of each other, shared openly ... and I got to thinking just how much men put women on edge. I have always known that patriarchy makes what men say seem more important or at least drowns out women's opinions, but I was still ignorant as to just the amount of ideas and positions that simply go unvoiced in the presence of men. Is this due to women being under appreciated, or fear of being drown out, what ever the reason there are smart women everywhere that just smile and let men do the talking. I hoe I never do that! Last night was an eye opener and a resurgence in my mind of the importance and necessity of feminism and women's voices.

I think the best place for me to start is with my friends, to encourage my female friends to be more vocal and opinionated ... if we end up being bitches, at least we will be bitches with voices and not the silently oppressed.
