Will Women Fight Back?

Republicans trying to gut four decades of women's progress have met with very little resistance — but that's changing

Ominous headlines are dominating the news: revolution in the Middle East; surging gas prices; even a possible government shutdown.

Getting less attention, but with equally dire implications, is the concerted war against women being waged by Republicans.

In Washington, and in state houses where they have gained power, Republicans are hell-bent on erasing a generation of gains made by women.

I refuse to be shoved back into "the kitchen". I refuse to be a second class citizen. I refuse to give up the fight for equal pay for equal work. I refuse to give up my voice. I refuse to give up my right to make my own decisions.

AND I would like an honest answer - WOULD men put up with this assault if it was against them?

Sing it loud, sing it proud! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUBnxqEVKlk

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

Oh, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Oh, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong

I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

I'm fighting the fight...again! Good grief we have worked so hard and come so far for this? Hell No! Here's the most upsetting aspect and that is women have come a long way in forgiving men for the violence and abuse they endured for so long and now they want to bring that all back? It is pure craziness.
