Women Friends

More good news about passage of the health care bill is the fact that it will help end the discrimination against women in regards to health. The National Women's Law Center says this is a giant step toward getting rid of discrimination against women. The bill should lower costs to women because there will be no more gender rating, there will be maternity coverage just like there is prostrate coverage and women will not be turned down if they have had a caesarean or past physical abuse. There is a great article about this in the New York Times written by Denise Grady 0n 3-29-10. Hopefully there will be more good news seep out everyday about the bill and the hate mongers will take a break. I have always had a problem with the fact that viagra is paid for by most insurance and birth control pills are not. I have often wondered why there has not been an uprising with the younger generation of women. This seems so unjust but we just need to continue to push for equality in all areas and that includes pay. Women still lag behind and I am hoping the younger women can change this. Discrimination in any form is a choice of fear over love and in the end....this does not work for anyone. As I continue to write this blog and work on fiction I feel compelled to go back to my roots and write stories about the abuses against women. I am working on a book proposal on a non fiction work that is the story of the absolute worst abuse possible to women and it happened right in the "Bible Belt." If you have any stories to tell me, please, I am always looking for ideas and fodder for stories. Today I am going to sign off with a joke all women will enjoy.

Aging Girlfriends

A group of 40 year old girlfriends discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed upon that they should meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because the waiters there had tight pants and nice buns.

10 years later at 50 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because the food there was very good and the wine selection was good also.

10 years later at 60 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because they could eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant had a beautiful view of the ocean.

10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because the restaurant was wheel chair accessible and they even had an elevator.

10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because they had never been there before.
