Thought for Today

When did people stop listening to each other?

What do you do when someone stops you in mid-sentence, dismisses anything you say as Fake News and immediately start espousing their beliefs that they heard through their friends? When you try to tell them how thoroughly you have researched your topic you are speaking about, they say they don’t want to talk about it and then continue to talk over you, attacking you for what you know because it doesn’t fit with their beliefs? Also, why do others want you to believe what they believe? Are they afraid of looking within themselves and finding out that they are wrong and do not want to open their minds to reality? Why do others have the right to say what is right for all others, and especially women?

Everyone has the right to have opinions, but opinions based on lies and male-dominated religious beliefs and classic 1950s sitcoms should not affect everyone else. Whether we have a law passed or not, whether others’ religion puts down women, should not be the basis to oppress all women and put us back into the past. Stop being silly!
