The War on Women:

1. K and R, CaliforniaPeggy!

It is unacceptable.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I thank you, my dear NYC_SKP...

I agree.

I also want to say that I am extremely lucky, as are my daughters. None of us have suffered in the way that so many women have.

3. K&R

Tragic statistics.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. They really are.

This war is the one that nobody sees, a hidden war.

But women see it.

5. That last one is why I chose to be celibate.

With one child to raise I decided a man was the last thing I needed in my life. My 'child' is now 28 and I still am happy without a man.

6. Good for you!

That would be difficult for me...

I really admire anyone who can decide to protect herself by being celibate.

7. Google neurofibromatosis

My son and I both have NF1. When one has a genetic disorder it is easier to live a celibate. But thanks for the thumbs up. I still remember your kindness a while back when you gave me a heart at the old DU.
