WHAT NOW? – Moving from feminism towards humanism.

WHAT’S NEW:

What’s the Unfinished Business of Feminism?

My dear friend, Mike, used to say; “Women have all the power. Too bad they don’t know it!”  Is that really true? I say “Humans have all the power. Too bad we don’t know it!” I for one would like to see an end to feminism [and masculism/masculinism]. Yet I must do agree, in order for that to happen, we [women] have some serious unfinished business that needs wrapping up and we need to do it now! Because the world needs BOTH women and men in order for it to be saved. 

So what exactly is the unfinished business of Feminism?

I had a whacky idea that this ‘unfinished business’ has three categories; childcare, abortion and violence against women.  In this series of writings I will explore each of these topics.  View them as conversation starters, writings I’ll probably go back and expand on some ideas. 

But for now here’s what I have, click on the links below or to the side of this page to read the full story:

Many of you know that I have followed a group of courageous women that have come together to form the WAP Council. This group of 13 women have come forward to coordinate the goals and direction of the Women’s Alliance Party.

News Update: Women’s Alliance Party

Press Release – The Book “Man on Trial: the ABC of his Folly” is out!

MAN ON TRIAL: the A B C of his Folly is a manifesto that calls on Man to be brought to justice for crimes against women and all the inhabitants of our shared ‘space’.  What this provocative book puts forth is that a major and deliberate shift in paradigm is the only way to unlock the current stalemate that pits the minute elite against the growing numbers of the dispossessed and disempowered. The power structures upon which traditional political forms of government are built are archaic, non-democratic, dysfunctional, and based on a militaristic and pyramidal mindset that is deeply injurious to Life.  Read more…
