Did it strike anyone else that the voices leading the Global Climate Strike were overwhelmingly passionate, intelligent and articulate young women – yet the people who are underwhelmingly ruining their lives are ignorant, self-satisfied and disengaged old blokes?
How many more decades will we have to wait until the power is more evenly shared between us all? Hazel Hawke once said that this shift will not happen until women realise that they are their own worst enemy – they still actively and consistently uphold this failed system of patriarchy by voting these idiots in – over and over again.
It’s time to support these young women – they are our future.
It’s obvious to you & me & so many other women
I know & respect. While shopping yesterday an
elderly man – in his 80s I’d guess – yelled out to
me as I was getting into the lift “We need more
women in Parliament”. He spoke of ww2 & the
importance of this country – of his grandkids &
the horror he envisaged for them. We’ve still
got heaps of older thinkers & supporters out
there. I noted the ages of the adults supporting
the students in their last strike.
