97. I think they know our power - that's why the attempts to control and maintain power over..
...women by defining them, then denigrating and condescending to them based on the male definitions. It happens to men too though - look what they're doing to John Edwards - negatively defining or ignoring him. Why? Because IF HE'S HEARD, he will have a lot of power and support. And the "powers-that-be" don't want that to happen!

When they want to keep you DOWN and OUT, that's what they do. It's all about power and control.

Of course it happens to women MUCH more often than men but it does happen to men, too.
