SP* for VP – Wha’at?! I know, Sarah Palin*, I had never heard of her either.

Posted by Michelle on August 30, 2008

Again, Let me say that I am not saying that all muslim men are violent brutes. Did I ever say that? I’ve worked with a few muslim men in Asia, and not one showed me any signs of disrespect, and I was their superior at the work place. They were perfect gentlemen, and a delight to work with. And why get on my case? It was the muslim women who wrote in screaming about their men, and hatred for them, not me. And dear Cruel Secretary….before you like Fatemeh start putting words into my mouth, I am well aware of the atrocities that many men of many color, and lack thereof, around the world commit. I am not sitting here eating bon bons with my thumb up my ass reading Cosmo. You obviously haven’t read any past posts where white men were getting their share.  Women abuse is rampant and I will say it one last time….It is not just reserved for the muslim men in this world. (Hell, for all I know, Fatemeh could actually be a muslim man posing as a woman.) Men in all cultures have been abusive. I am not singling out any one group nor am I lumping them all together and calling all men abusive. Are we on the same page now? 

Hmm…You know, I have to stop. 

I am feeling defensive and I feel my ego rising, and I don’t want to go there. We could keep bantering back and forth with these attacking attitudes, point by point, and I still feel we would get no where, so I am going to graciously bow out or at least take a breath and leave my egoic emotions to rest.   

Okay, as I read back on my posts, perhaps in my excited passion to help, my emotions interfered and I did not choose my words wisely, articulating myself clearly. I feel I am not being heard, and my thoughts are, you are feeling the same way too. Perhaps in wanting those in need to know that I have heard them, I neglected to give equal time to  those that just wanted to be heard too.  It seems I have given the impression that I have chosen sides when I have just given more time to those that asked for support. No opinions were discounted intentionally, I just chose to give more focus to those that supported what I was bringing to light. I am not attached to any side of the story, and if I could ‘decide’ the story, the one I’m shedding light on wouldn’t be it. 

My feeling is that the information, the side that no one wants to talk about, the side that is too painful to discuss, the side that people would rather not hear, needs more light shed on it for it to sink into people’s lives and have more of an impact than page 10, in the bottom left-hand corner of some newspaper. There is of course the other side, there always is, but that was not my focus. Perhaps, it deserves some equal time too. 

Racist? No. But, perhaps if you had just tuned into my blog you might come to that conclusion since I have been riding pretty hard on the muslim man, but if you have been reading my blog for over the past year you would see that the majority of the brunt has been given to the white man in defense of the OTW’s (other than whites). And not just in the abuse of women but abuse on a global level in regards to not only women, but people, animals, the environment.  

Sexist meme? – Not sure what that is but I rescue dogs not women.  Rescuing animals have always been my passion. It has never been my passion to rescue or to save women. I have a large readership. My goal to help women has been to bring these subjects to light on my blog and to discuss ideas, and collaborate.  As I mentioned I don’t know what to do but bringing it to focus is the first step.

I guess what disappoints me the most over the past few days is that egos have gotten in the way, judgement has raised it’s ugly head, and good intentions have been overlooked. And because of this we women are not connecting.  Maybe this discussion is too sensitive to have over the internet where misconceptions can easily be made.  There is no intonation to be heard, there is no facial expression to be seen, and this topic is just too close to heart, too personal, and we have not gotten up close and personal enough. 

It is obvious that where we stand now, we are women of different cultures and backgrounds that are challenged when we try come together via a common purpose, where clear communication and understanding is paramount,  and realizing where support is needed or even desired.  Although I may not know much about the everyday details and lives of many, what I do know is that women abuse is widespread…..and I will continue to learn, to write about it, and support women where support is wanted. And lastly, that we have a long way to go. 

So, I am going to put my ego aside and really look at what all of you have written. I am humbled by this experience. I have learned much, and I am grateful.  Mostly I have learned that I need to learn more. Thanks for participating and being a voice for many. 

So…onto my topic for the day: 

Yes, it is still the focus of women but actually one in particular: Sarah Palin, McCain’s pick for VP.  I knew nothing of this woman and when I researched her, I discovered that she has been the Governor of Alaska for only two years. And before that, she served two terms on the city council of Wasilla, Alaska, (population 6,700) and two terms as mayor/manager of Wasilla, Alaska.   And prior to that, a political reformer and hockey mom.  Hmmm….

How can McCain  point out over and over again of Obama’s lack of experience in foreign policy and defense matter, and then pick Palin as his VP with even less experience? Ah…actually none. Obama’s ‘lack of experience’ has been the republicans strongest argument against him. Could they be shooting themselves in the foot and blowing their chance at the presidency? I certainly hope so. 

Nothing personal against this woman, but speaking strictly business, a month ago in an interview, Palin dissed the VP position stating that it didn’t seem ‘produuctive’ and that she didn’t even know what the VP did.  Well hopefully she won’t get the chance to learn on our dime and time.  Palin is a conservative, pro-lifer, who would be right up there supporting McCain in overturning Roe v Wade -  that in itself is scary enough and my reason for not wanting her in.  She also believes that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.  So much for Gay rights. I would expect that coming from a conservative. Well, it’s obvious she’s the ticket they feel they need in order to score those white conservative women votes. 

But does she really think she can handle the job? Do you? Like I said, Hopefully we won’t have to find out.  Can you imagine if McCain became President and died and Palin became the President running our country?  We can be rest assured if McCain gets voted in, an assassination would never take place.  I know it’s a stretch,  but could that be part of his motivation of choosing her besides the obvious above?  I wouldn’t put anything past the Republicans. Oh, but that’s right, the ones who rip the people off daily, and strip us of our rights and privileges don’t get assassinated or even put in jail for their crimes. (yet.)  No, the JFK’s and the MLK’s, the ones who fight for the people, they are the ones who get assassinated.  

Where Obama is fighting for the people, stating, ‘it is not about him, it’s about the American people’,  McCain shows us blatantly, ‘it’s all about him’….and his cronies of course. 

Thoughts? Blog me.

 

Gratefully your blog host,

Muslim women want to be heard…they want intervention. What will you do to help?

Posted by Michelle on August 28, 2008

Hello Ghanzi, Chaghcharan, Kohlm, Baraki, Farah, Aybak, Shir Khan: It looks like Sar-e Pol is not only a courageous voice for many of you but that she has struck a deep cord here.  I was wondering why there were not many Muslim women coming forward when Fatemeh was commenting. Now I know why. 

Fatemeh: I can feel the heat coming from your comment.  In defense of myself I will say as I have said before that I do not look at Muslim women and finger point saying, ‘Oh, they are SO much more oppressed than we!’ I really do not know much about you and your culture which is why I am asking. To me Muslim women are a mystery and I am beginning to see the mystery unravel.  I also don’t see you as helpless ‘puppies’ that I have to ’save’.  I just believe in helping my sisters of the world, and Muslim women are members of this sisterhood. 

I agree change does need to come from within but so far I don’t see many standing up in women’s defense besides the women.  And Like Shir Khan said, ‘We are doing just that on this forum.’  So you don’t think assistance  of western women won’t help?  Would you rather we sit back and just watch and do nothing? Would you then throw it up in our faces that no one cares? Would you then say, ‘Oh those western women…look at them in their lives, they could care less about us and the abuse that we endure!’  From what I have been hearing on my blog the Muslim women are begging to be recognized and assisted. 

I have to say that Sar-e Pol has brought up some very valid points here. After your first comment on my blog, I read your blog. I thought, as I had written to you, that your opinions were pretty ‘tame’ compared to the other Muslim women who have written in.  And I asked myself,  ‘Is Fatemeh censoring herself and not being as truthful as the rest of the Muslim women who have commented on my blog? After all she does have a public blog that muslim men could read.’  

But I decided that maybe there was another side, maybe not all Muslim women  feel like so many others who have commented on my blog. I thought Fatemeh and others on her blog were lucky, blessed to be bondage free.  I was waiting for other Muslim women to chime in…you know, comment and agree with what Fatemeh was saying, but no one did. It was then that I realized  maybe I was just being naive.  My naiveté was confirmed when Sar-e Pol commented yesterday.   

And now this morning I see that there are other women who have spoken up in her support.  Sobia:  From all that I have heard, you are a lucky one to have a family that loves you and treats you right. However, Aybak: I have to agree with you, ‘The men are choosing to be kind and loving’, but that doesn’t take away the fact that the law gives them the right to do otherwise. That is the issue here. I loved what you said about being ‘extremely proud to be a Muslim’, and in the same breath, that ‘you have the right to hate being forced to be a Muslim.’  One can be proud to be a follower of Islam but it should be a choice like any other religion.  

After all of this dialogue I have to say that I am going to support the words that Sar-e Pol and the other Muslim women who have so courageously and openly commented on my blog. I know that it is risky and I admire you all for speaking your truth. You are women of mettle. 

The atrocities that the muslim men commit on Muslim women everyday is very real.  These ‘honor killings’ are NOT domestic violence – there is nothing your government will do about it. Our government intervenes in domestic violence.  Does yours? You can’t call these killings ‘murder’ because there is punishment for murder and these men aren’t getting punished for their brutal acts against women!  Muslim women are modern day slaves, property for the men to do as they please. And like the slaves, as Sar-e Pol pointed out, it took the people of our country to intervene in order for change to occur.

So, I am going to say YES to Muslim women that I hear you loud and clear, and that you need help. There is no doubt in my mind anymore. To those of you that either deny out of fear that it is happening to you, or you are just blessed to be bondage free, there seem to be many more who are not.  Violence is violence, and violence without any punishment is unacceptable….no matter how small or rampant, it must be stopped.  

It pulls at my heart to hear all of you women speak out and I grateful that you are able to open up here.  I hope that in the near future we will be having more conversations, only the subject will be about attained freedom and equality. I look forward to that day for all of us. 

~~~~~~~~

Lastly, I need to inquire about The Girls

Maddie:  How are you? Any news from the rest of the Earthling Girls? Miss hearing from all of you. 

Hi Lillie: We’re you able to persuade anyone with your proposal?                                               

Zchi:  What decision did you come to for the planet?

Peace out girls…hope to hear from you too.

What do women really want?

Posted by Michelle on August 27, 2008

Good Morning!  

I am going to try and keep it light today…it has been gettin’ heavy…too too heavy for this woman this morning. Not that writing about heavy subjects isn’t needed or important,  but today, I need a break.  However, since we have been on the subject of women – Guys, I hope that you’re not getting bored ’cause you shouldn’t – I love talking about men just as much but lately I haven’t heard of any man getting raped or bludgeoned to death by a woman- you? If you hear of this happening to any man, please blog me so that I can congratulate the woman – Aahhahaa!! Oh gawd…I am really being bad. I really didn’t mean to be sarcastic this morning or mean to my male readers. I really do love men. I know that there are many decent men out there – I guess the female abuse in this world is really getting to me. 

 

Anyway, so as I was saying….Since we have been on the subject of women,  I thought that I would continue with a little story that you may or may not have read. It does include a pretty cool dude so that’s a hat tip to you decent men out there. 

 

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur’s youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.                                          

The question?….What do women really want?’ Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch’s proposition to have an answer by year’s end. 

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. 

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first. The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur’s closest friend! 

Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.  He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur’s life and the preservation of the Round Table

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur’s question thus: ‘What a woman really wants’, she answered….’is to be in charge of her own life.’ 

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur’s life would be spared.  And so it was, the neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding. 

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened 

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful mai den the other half. 

Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day….or night? 

Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?

Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.  

(Oh I’m diggin’ Lancelot big time!)

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life. 

Now ..what is the moral to this story? 

The moral is….. 

If you don’t let a woman have her own way…. Things are going to get ugly.’

 

Okay, so we can all have a good laugh but seriously look at that statement: ‘What a woman really wants is to be in charge of her own life.’  It’s true. I want to be able to make my own decisions in regards to my lifestyle, my finances, my body, my thoughts, my what ever. AND…I want to be supported in my decisions. Simple, yes?

Hey ZL:  As you said yesterday,  I said it above and I will say it here:  There are decent men out there. I’m married to one. But….here comes the but….why aren’t the decent men doing something about the atrocities that are happening to many women?  I know I didn’t want to get heavy today, but when men are so disrespectful and downright nasty to their women in any culture, where are the decent men backing these women? In war time, men will do anything to save their fellow comrades…but where is their presence, their courage,  during the war on women

You know what I would love to see? I would love to see a man in any culture start an organization for women, run mostly by men who want a better world for women…maybe women are on the board giving direction but the men are the ones doing all of the leg work, fighting for those that they love. How admirable. Maybe it would be called, ‘Men for Women’ or ‘Men In Support of Women’- How cool would that be? 

Hello Fatemah:  My Pleasure :) So…what are your feelings on this? You say that ‘men are socialized to believe that is is their right as men’.  And yes, western men like to play that game too.  Why aren’t the decent Muslim men putting their foot down and standing up for these women that they love? Why aren’t they teaching their sons, the new generations, how to respect, love, and appreciate women? To honor their choices and desires? Maybe they are and I just don’t know it. Are they?

Maybe if the decent ones were doing something to counter these atrocities, clearing up the ‘bad rap’ that their bad brothers depict, they would get some air time in the media. Are these decent Muslim men really treating their women decently, or are they just seen as acting decent because they don’t commit the atrocities that the perpetrators do? Is there some truth to this? Are Muslim women really getting what they want out of life? Are needs different between the many cultures? I know the challenges are.   

Ugh…The article from Sepia Mutiny just drives me crazy. Why is it that a son can dishonor the family but the wife of the son gets killed?! Is there no accountability here or is it always the woman at fault? This Izzat is a bunch of crap.

Fatemah, you and your ‘triple threat’ sisters do have a hard line to walk. Excellent article – Honest and revealing. My utmost admiration goes out to you. Thanks so much for visiting and joining in on this important hot topic, and for including some suggested reads. I too am hungry to learn more and understand, and you have been really helpful to me and obviously my readers. 

Readers: Did you read Fatemah’s article? A very articulate and enlightening read. Don’t be shy – give us your two.  

Quotes of the week:                            

‘McCain and Bush are awfully hard to tell apart.’   ‘No way, No how, No McCain.’

Style Your Sole

Posted by Michelle on August 24, 2008

Good Morning!

It is Sunday, a day for relaxing and for not getting too heavy. I’m all over that. How about a little inspirational film? This was sent to me by a good friend and I thought the concept was worthy of getting a little airtime on my blog.  For those of you thinking, ‘What could I possibly do to help in this world?’ Blake Mycoskie came up with an idea, Tom’s Shoes, and ran with it. (pun intended) Simple. I like it – you? :-P

‘The more you give the more you live.’

-friend of Blake Mycoskie/Tom’s Shoes

Love, love, love the quote too.

Oh…Hello Szhi: Good question, why do they occupy the same spot of this huge planet if they could separate and never see each other? I would think one would choose to leave but that brings up some questions: Is the rest of the planet just as rich with resources as where they are now or have they not traversed the planet to find out? Is there anyone besides these two groups inhabiting the planet?

I have a few other questions that come to mind. I do find it funny that they both landed in exactly the same area thousands of years ago and have been civilized until now. What changed? Just the growth of the ‘tree’ line or is there another reason besides the obvious that they both choose to fight over this one particular area? Does one groups idea for the tree line affect the other group differently as in physically or mentally or is it just a difference of opinions? Maybe the affects of the gasses are effecting each group differently.

I think it is a good idea that some of the girls have suited up as the two members so that they can hang with them for awhile and see if there is something else that is adding to the hostility. Separating them isn’t such a bad idea but the question still remains why they have not come to that conclusion themselves. Are they just being territorial or is it something else? Maybe it is a social or a religious difference. What are the hidden dangers that you speak of if you decide to separate them?

Lots of questions. Good luck in your decision. 

Peace out….

 

Gratefully your blog host,

The guidance you seek is within yourself

Posted by Michelle on August 23, 2008

Hi Lillie:  No, you are not bothering me. Your concerns are taking my mind off of my own which could use a little rest, so thank you. I am here always. 

First, If Tao felt that you were not ready or right to be where you are now, you would be back on earth. So I would not fear that you will be sent back home because you have different ideas than the other girls. Trust your intuition – age has nothing to do with it. It is the one who stands alone in her own beliefs that shows a sign of strength, courage, and leadership. I am sure there are others who feel the same way as you but are too afraid and are just hoping that you’ll be strong for them too.  

Secondly, there is nothing wrong with looking for god or looking to god for advice and direction.  God comes in many forms and shows up differently for everyone who believes in a god.  I believe that god exists only in a different form than you may think. Yes the aliens have told us that Jesus was a myth created by aliens to get us to be civilized, and I believe this. As much as many wars have been fought over  religion, if we didn’t have religion, many people would be even more barbaric to each other than we are now. Religion keeps people in line; their fear of what god may do if they are not good. However to God there is no good, bad, or ugly. 

If you feel you need Jesus…no one should tell you differently. If belief has served you in life no one should tell you to to give up what gives you guidance. However respect those that do not have your same belief system and do not push your beliefs onto others. We all have guidance in some form whether it be god, intuition, a higher power, what ever.  In my mind it is all good as long as no one judges the other for not having the same belief structure.  You are obviously being judged for yours. 

You are correct. The suits are powerful and I imagine that one could feel god-like knowing that you have no competition on the planet. Knowing this one could easily overlook facts and details and just do as one pleases because one can.  However, in my opinion, God does not care if you use or misuse the ‘awesome’ power.  If God cared he would do something about the misuse of powers on earth and other planets. I believe that God observes what his creations are doing and leaves it up to them to figure it all out.  If  god created and controlled everything how bored god would be.

It is my belief that the guidance you seek is already within yourself….you have already found the answer to your question.  Your own intuition has told you that should get to know who these two parties are,  not just what their plans are for the planet and its scarce resources. We all know that what one proposes verbally is not always the truth.  Just like our candidates running for office here on earth, they quote one thing live to the public and yet they vote in the contrary.  I think you are wise for wanting to spend some time getting to know these two groups. Again, trust your intuition. 

Not knowing who these two groups of people are, I cannot make a decision of who you should side with.  However I think you are correct and I think the girls are correct too. Being concerned about what is best for the planet is very important but religion is powerful and I think it is wise to know if it is a driving motivating force here. How can you know which group of people to side with if you know nothing about them? That is like the people of this planet, making stupid decisions on who to vote for when they have not done their research before they make choices on that ballot that they are so privileged to make. 

Yes the easy thing would be to just take over and demand peace and I’m sure that you could do that. But what happens after when you and the girls are long gone? If you truly want harmony for this planet…when deciding on the fate of a planet and its inhabitants I think all sides need to be looked at. 

That being said, I am sure that you girls will make a wise and informed decision for what’s best for the planet, its resources and its inhabitants.  

 

Peace out….

Gratefully your blog host,
