Are you aware of this practice where older women hold down the young girls, cut off their clitorises using glass? This is done so that women will not be interested in sex. Otherwise, men may be enticed by females to rape them, as men cannot be expected to have discipline. Also the reason that women must wear dark colored burkquas despite soaring temperatures of over 100 degrees. Religions have instituted this practice to help men overcome their lust.
I know, some of you are laughing so much, you will wet your panties, or cry with sadness.
According to the United Nations, each year, around three million girls and women - some 8,000 GIRLS EACH DAY - face the risk of mutilation or cutting. An estimated 130 million girls and women have undergone the practice in Muslim countries.
Were you aware of this practice? How would you feel about having eight women sit on you and cut off your clitoris without anesthetic?
Why I write this blog is to create some awareness of female inequality? Please write some comments and if you have undergone this procedure yourself please let us understand the other side of this issue.

190 Countries 9 Female Leaders
Australia, Germany, Brazil, Ireland, Finland,Liberia, Iceland, Costa Rica and Kosovo have female leaders, another eleven have female heads of state. Some may be figureheads only.
This ratio stunned me. I know we have made progress and yet the number still amazes me. So little power in the world. Does this amaze you? Or is it only me?
Makes me question equality? Is it possible? Are we meant to compete with men for power, for our point of view? For no wars, less greed, less need to look good to our buddies? For a more peaceful existence. We are always the reconcilers in our families, we are the ones who make ends meet, somehow!
I remember the beginning of the women's movement in the 60's. So much hope that opportunities would open for women. They have somewhat, and at what price? American women are viewed by others as extremely aggressive, yet we haven't achieved equality in the work place nor the home.
Once again, I want to mention why I started this blog. To create exchange of ideas, strengthening tolerance and equality. We have a long way to go. That is how I see it, how do you see it? Make a comment by scrolling over the word "comments" below.

WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND
What does equality have to do with this universal law of nature?
Firstly, do you recognise this law as a law of nature? Whatever you give out to the universe will come back to you. If you spend enough time in contemplation, you will recognize that this is true no matter how small or how big the intention coming from you.
