I fight like a Girl
I fight like a girl who refuses to be a victim
I fight like a girl who's tired of being IGNORED, HUMORED, and BEATEN and RAPED.
I fight like a girl who's sick of not being taken seriously.
I fight like a girl who's been pushed too far.
I fight like a girl who has a lifetime of ANGER and STRENGTH and PRIDE pent up in her girly body.
I fight like a girl who doesn't believe in FEAR or SUBMISSION.
I fight like a girl who knows THIS BODY and THIS MIND are mine.
I fight like a girl who knows that YOU ONLY HAVE AS MUCH POWER AS I GRANT YOU.
I fight like a girl who will never allow you to take more than I offer.
I fight like a girl who FIGHTS BACK.
So the next time you can distract yourself from your insecurities by victimizing a girl,
THINK AGAIN,
She may be ME and
I FIGHT LIKE A GIRL.

Women's Equality Day! August 26th
Laugh At Yourself!
One day I had a ton of errands to run.  I stopped at a drug store and picked up a soy chocolate bar.  Afterwards, I got on a trolley, went to the grocery store, dropped off film, then shopped for an hour.  After shopping, I picked up my film, got back on a trolley and went home.  After I got home and ate dinner, I went to brush my teeth and found an inch by half inch layer of chocolate under my bottom lip.  I had walked around all day with a huge smear of chocolate on me.
