Twelve years since the great decision, surely there must be some
support for this sort of wishful thinking.  Well, tell us then...
Where is it?  

Tell us about the women who are now so free and easy, really liberated,
finding themselves.  Full human capacities.  Confidence.
Demeaned since the onset of Christianity.

Where did you study history?

Tell us about it, okay?

If you believe it, prove it.  Otherwise, what you have is unsubstantiated
hogwash.  Religious, dogmatic unsubstantiated hogwash.  Your religion
of do-your-own-thing dictates that it should be so, so it's so.  In spite
of the evidence.

You religious people make me sick.

I will not apologise for breathing.
