Society Rant Part One.... "Let's Talk Truths"

So the question on my mind today, more of less over the weekend as well. What happened to our society?
I've been watching for months and months hoping that a change will arise to fix what is obviously damaged we're almost to a point of non-repair. Some of you I imagine are wonder what am I talking about, that rock your under is pretty large if you can't see what’s so obvious around you.
Where should I start? I guess with men and women. We all remember the 80's if you don't that’s cool you can catch up, just watch 16 candles or fast times at ridgemont high. Sex was all the rage, something we failed to learn from and it took time to control. Something that has evolved far beyond what we were prepared for. We went from gentle conversations between friends to everything being dropped on to facebook and other social media sites. Everyone remembers the first time, and what we learned from it, most likely heart break and sadness. Now and days men don't work nearly as hard to get what they want and women everywhere are learning hard lessons and moving forward.
I say men, but most "men" are just boys who in this day and age get whatever they want in an instant. If they don't want to meet a woman and work hard all they do is go online and chat with porn actresses online or just watch porn in general. Men stopped being men a while ago, the internet has made it easier for them no hard work when you can call a number and find a mate or search craigslist and make an appointment for blow-jobs. Leaving those of us woman who work for a living and have no interest in being used for a one night stand, for lack of a word alone.
Lately numbers have come out that women are now the bread winners of the family, the GOP says that it’s the reason our society is falling apart and why our children are suffering. It's one thing to say family's suffer in general do to the recent changes in society, the internet etc. but blaming woman is a whole other thing. We didn't plan on this we have dreams like men, and because of the recent fall of chivalry there are more single mothers, rape culture has gotten out of control and to be honest there's no money anymore. Before men can blame women for all of this let me point something out. The unregulated capitalist companies that are raking in 400 to 500 billion a year, are not pushing the money back into the economy. If they were, there would be a stay at home parent handling business. Also since were on this look around at the general status of men.
Most of them just ignore us and use the internet to replace us; while some women end up on the heart broken end of the stick other women have reduced themselves to being the person they sleep with just to get some things that they want. We've created a generation of I want kids, where the older generation in the 20's like myself get married in hopes to keep a man only to realize we had done it far too quick and either gets divorced leaving a scar, or just live in misery hoping that eventually the issue will resolve itself. In a crowd of unhappy people I sit and watch. The instant gratification that was supposed to create something new and amazing, has only created slaves to capitalism, women who have to work hard for less money and men that learning no lesson act like a bunch of children.
Not to say we didn't know most men we're un-evolved, we just figured they would grow up by now. But when no one learns anything, and science thwarts Darwinism where do we grow from here. Women should be running this society we've earned it at this point, from the moms who are a one woman army handling work and the kids while their husbands watch TV and ignore the surrounding area, to the women who just want a full relationship that we have no chance of getting with the guy who look like he walked out of New Jersey. We have earned our stripes to run this show, you have not. It about time we have a moment to run this shit; we've spent our lives fighting for this. Getting lip from members of the GOP about how we're bad mothers because we have to work is only going to piss us off; parenting is a multi-person job not just for women.
The fact of the matter is that fathers make just a strong difference in this life as mothers do, the fact that about 90% of men are spoiled brats means that as fathers you have done the worst job in teaching chivalry and gentlemenisms to your sons. How dare you step to us and blame us for this insanity, if we had a fucking say this bullshit wouldn't be happening in general.
You think we like being ignored? Paid less? How about the fact that you make the decisions on how we handle our health? Personal choices are what this country is all about yet somehow women have less choice than most. You can blame as you please, but know this we've done nothing to deserve what it is you are throwing down. We do our best, try our hardest to create a path for other younger woman to follow. Yes there are some who make us look ridiculous and you would like to blame all of the issues our society has on bad mothering.
You will have a reason to blame us the minute we get fair treatment for anything. The biggest joke on the internet is about all of us belonging in the kitchen making sandwiches and serving you. Remember this we are stronger smarter faster and we are the reason that you live today because without us there would be no next generation. And I would knock off those kitchen jokes,seeing as that's where the knifes are. To my fellow women, stand with me we've no need for boys. We need men, who treat us with dignity respect and pride. We need partners not masters. We need the next generation to be respectful and understanding and intelligent.
Stand up and lets end this degraded society together, let us take the congress the white house the school systems. Because we all know,we are never fucking wrong and we're keeping it this way!

What's with all the princess crap?

I've refrained from posting anything for over a month now, partly due to the fact that I can't think of anything that won't offed people, partly because I'm swamped.  Here goes.

I can't deal with the constant princess-ification of everything.

Kaiya turned 7 a month ago.  Among other things, such as puppies and beef jerky, she asked for a kids' telescope/microscope combo, Doctor Who's sonic screwdriver, a pair of binoculars for the zoo, and a trip to see Dinosaurs Alive.  What did she get?  Makeup and princess toys.  She still got some other really cool stuff, but it kind of stung a bit for people to ask what she wanted, be told in detail, then buy makeup and tell her she's a princess.

Maybe she doesn't want to be a freaking princess.  She told me today that she wants to be a Time Lord who helps animals.  I have an intelligent little girl who already knows she's beautiful, but also knows that looks aren't everything.

The next morning, she had already stripped the princess dolls of their dresses and accessories and declared that Merida would now be known as Amy Pond, Rapunzel had become Rose Tyler, and that Ken required a tiny bow tie so he could be the eleventh doctor.  Our shelter mutt ate the doll who would be Martha Jones, so I'll get on that next.

I know that we want our daughters to feel special and like they can do anything, but I feel that by calling them princesses we may be limiting them.  I don't want my girls to think they're dainty little damsels in distress who must look pretty and be rescued by a prince.  I want to raise strong, independent girls who can take care of themselves. The only princess with those qualities is Merida.  Before she got sluttified.

I can't remember ever buying anything with a princess on it, yet my house is overflowing with pink frilly things because people insist that my girls have to love these things.  Why?  Because they're girls!  It's not that I don't appreciate it when people buy things for my children, because I do.  But why not buy something that they actually want that costs less than the thing you want them to like?

I get that some girls are really into the princess thing, but mine aren't.  They like snakes, superheroes, climbing things, science fiction, volcanoes, and heavy metal.  They're not fragile little creatures who need saving.  They're awesome.
