| Publisher Description: Alice of Green Glade is the telling of the search for solidarity, serenity, and being yourself. The story is told by a female mallard duck who lives at Green Glade. Why do people have to escape to nature to relax? What went wrong with the world that they created? Can anything be done to ease the problems? Go Ask Alice. I am her scribe. She wishes to share how she achieves and maintains a peaceful and serene life even while encountering constant survival issues (like being eaten), and seeing a few of her kids die who just were not meant to be, due to errors that occurred in the herculean task of meiosis. Nowhere in the constitution does it say that only men (males), can vote, and yet it took a constitutional amendment for women to "earn", the right to vote. Say Whaaaaat? In 1920, the 19th amendment was ratified by the majority of the states, which is what it took. Women first voted in the Dec. 20 election in 1920. Mississippi never ratified the 19th amendment until 1984. Women in Saudi Arabia were not allowed to vote until 2015. This is not to be mistaken for women's equality. It only changed who could legally vote. The meanings of many words change with time. Consider the word "MEN." When the Declaration of Independence was written in 1776: We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The term "men" was accepted to mean "white males". They felt that it was obvious (self evident), that a woman was not a man. Blacks were not even considered to be human at that time. Native Americans were referred to as 'savages' in their literature of that time period. More akin to a wolf than a human. Definitely something to be controlled or eliminated. To them, only an idiot would not know that a "men" was a white male. Tell me. Was there a wolf in Little Red Riding Hood? Well, yes, but three legged, not four legged. The story of Little Red Riding Hood is the telling of a woman losing her virginity so well told that it achieved infamy. When the 15th amendment rolled around, and against tremendous opposition and distress, the term "men", was changed to mean all males, regardless of race, creed, natural origin, or other socially unfavorable or discriminatory situations (basically other than white). Some women finally got tired of this shit and wrote, marched, and practiced civil disobedience for 40 years until the term "men", against tremendous opposition, came to include women in a very limited capacity, specifically in the capacity to vote. Read the newspaper archives of the time. Congress MEN spewing, "We can't let women vote They are stupid It will ruin the country " Well did it? Gay rights concerned changing the meaning of the terms "men" and "women", "male" and "female", and their separation. No one really cared who someone else married or lived with. The language they designed makes you choose "Is it a man or a woman. It is either he or she. Which?" Spanish and other romantic languages make you choose via verb conjugation if they walked, for example, in a men way 'o', or a female way 'a'. A ruler way or subservient way. Now in 2017, Conservatives, still pissed off about the Supreme Court decision on gay marriage, are pushing to outlaw a person using a public restroom that did not match the gender on their birth certificate. The issue is not about which restroom you use, it concerns the dreaded broadening of the term "men," which is so zealously guarded. When it comes to procreating, or producing kids, what sex you are is of course, important. Producing human babies requires an egg and a sperm. In all other issues, what sex you are only involves who is trying to control whom. |
