This is nice, it showed up on my Apple Music playlist today:
It seems to be inspired by the death of Mahsa Amini, who was killed by the morality police in Iran for ‘not wearing her headscarf properly’. I think it will resonate with women all over the world where men are intent on legislating or telling women what they can or can’t do with their own bodies, or those who are subject to domestic violence and/or other inequalities or prejudice.

I was at the Nan Tien Temple on the 1st December for my friend to have a quick pray. But the God of Prosperity had been wheeled out presumably for the New Year, he is definitely not a woman, I think the Goddess of Mercy is the only female god - She has a shrine at the top of those stairs, you have to go up more stairs for the shine with the three Buddha (always an odd number).
BTW I threw 20c into the water so I should be right for next year.
I forgot to mention that the Nan Tien Temple is entirely female priests/nuns (not sure what they are called)
Also it is the biggest Buddhist Temple in the Southern Hemisphere (not that that is much of a challenge)
Nice song .
Sadly in counties where women are abused the abuse is sometimes supported by woman themselves .
Ie FGM a custom that is carried out by woman .
Honour killing the same .
Generally however abuse of woman on a grand scale is done by men .
if God is really a women hasn’t she lost control of good things on earth whilst watching the rest of the universe?
That’s another topic,
…
I never believed god was a man with a white beard, as Michelangelo would have us believe. A woman is more fitting to religious concepts.
Look at pre-christianity, we had Mother Nature, a more plausible thing to worship.
And now after 2,000 years, we have female vicars taking over, more apt somehow.
and women PM’s beginning to appear too - who on earth is goin do the chores - dunna look at me laddie!
God point gumbud.
God is a man because no woman could screw up like that - George Carlin
If God was women she would never have let the world get this bad before shouting " that’s it I’ve had enough of all of this lets get cleanin it all up right now " and I reckon Greta Thunberg is in training and next in line"!!
I certainly hope that following the death of its hardliner leader women in Iran will no longer die for not wearing their headscarf.
How come in this day and age women in many regions of the World are looked upon as under dogs and just there for the Pleasures of Men and Produce as many Children as possible…and treated as slaves in truth…just makes me feel so sad that they still live in the way past still…
Religions and govts who just want people to breed soldiers and slaves : /
I wish more people would read Civilized to Death by Christopher Ryan - I thought it was quite eye opening about women’s ‘nature’, when it comes to things like conception. Well worth a read imo.
It feels as though we are going back in time on that Dianne. I was growing up during the women’s lib movement. After watching Mrs America and then doing my own research on the history, I didn’t realise just how much women in the US were still struggling during my childhood. They never quite achieved what they set out to do and sexism is still rife in parts of the US as we have seen with some of the legislation they have brought in. I can see things changing in the UK in future. It makes me sad.
All the women in my family were in charge ,they just let the men think they were.
