If I can't dance I don't wanna be part of your revolution by Kactus

Sister Kactus has had it with the face off between political wonks on both sides of our uteri. Read her whole post at Our Word, but here's my favorite part - see if this sounds familiar:

Whoops, better give the obligatory qualifier: some of you guys are really, really neat. You are committed to women's rights and you never take advantage of your male privilege and you really love eating pussy, really you do. So with that out of the way, relax cuz now you know I'm not talking about you.

I'd rather not take the position of professional symbol for your movement.

My Comments:

Women are 53% of the population. We are the majority of voters. We need to get it into our heads, once and for all, that there is no "Right" and "Left" in this country. There are rich men and poor women, and I don't care if you're Oprah Winfrey, you're still poor and still a woman. To quote Chris Rock "If Bill Gates woke up tomorrow with Oprah's money, he'd jump out a fucking window." No matter how high we climb, it won't be as high as they'll let one of their own go, and they stand on our backs to do it.

The revolution won't be lead by big boy bloggers. It's right here. We need to develop strategies that don't depend on help from men, because it isn't going to come. They'll pat us on the heads, and promise to get to us later, but there's always one more important thing they have to do before they get to our little lives. Fuck 'em. Or better yet, stop fucking them. Put your time, you money, your words, and your energy into women's issues, and let's make this our revolution. Most women - even most conservative women - will support reproductive choice and equal pay. We need to forget about lame-assed Lefty boys and reach out sister-to-sister, everywhere, anywhere, and develop some solidarity.
