Just Another Female
Stargate 06.26.2022
Since yesterday female humans became less human. They took the rights, women before us fought and died for. How is this allowed to happen in 2022?! I am a sci-fi geek and always loved the notion of time travel. I never thought I would experience it in my lifetime. I am beyond furious and I am not alone. The USA has 167 million women or 50.8% of the USA population. That is a lot of estrogen power. If there was ever a time to put it to good use, it is now.
Last weekend I took part in a live public painting event in the next town over to ours. I love that town and its people for its colorful diversity and inclusion. The honeybee seems fitting since it is the New Jersey state bug. But did you know that in a bee hive, the women rule and have all the power? The queen is crucial for the hive’s survival and all the working bees are female bees. The male bees are called drones. Drones are male bees and their sole purpose is to mate with the queen: they don’t work, don’t make honey, and can’t sting. Since the queen honeybee only needs to mate once, most of the drones don’t even do that. Without females, honeybees would not exist. When winter comes around, the drones not serving any purpose are actually kicked out of the hive. The hive can not afford to waste its food supplies and would risk not making it through the cold Winter months. In so many ways humans are not that different. The one difference is, that women’s rights have been taken away. Yes taken away. There have been plenty of female-ruled societies before colonialism changed that.
Countries run by women are far less likely to go to war, yet run their countries more humanely and successfully. As it stands now women in the USA don’t have all the human rights their male counterparts have. All women ever wanted has been equal rights. If the government denies this basic human right to women. It’s breaking the social contract with women in the USA. So here we go will we play dead or fight for our rights?
Another honeybee fact:
The female honeybees are also the only ones who can sting and they will die to fight for what it’s theirs.

Countries led by women tend to foster peace and humane governance. It’s concerning that women in the USA still lack full equality. Women have always strived for their basic human rights. Denying these rights undermines the social contract. How can we ensure that women’s voices are truly heard and their rights fully protected?
We must celebrate the vital role of women in society, recognizing them as equals, not just as bearers of new life. When we unite as a community, everyone flourishes. Let us rise above the urge to label those different, as this division tears us apart. Together, in harmony and cooperation, we can achieve greatness. We should uplift the weak, sick, young, and elderly, seeing them as valuable members of our society rather than burdens. Shelter, food, and healthcare should be rights guaranteed to all, not mere privileges for a select few. Until that day comes, make it a goal to smile at a stranger each day.
