I wish there were some encouragement to offer. We throw the word "war" around like it was a natural outcome of every inequality or difference of priorities.

But women, and Black women especially, have been under a silent "attack" through policies and attitudes that prevent even a hint at attaining equal footing.

Keep your voice strong and whether it's a war or a skirmish (or a rebellion as David noted), you have to defend yourself and be careful who claims to be allies.

This conflict is not so much a "war" as it is a "rebellion" against unjust forces- you can probably figure out who the "rebels" are.

It’s also funny how the people who have major issues with these gender wars, and culture wars, and the war on Christmas, and all the other nonsense, seem to have shocking tolerance for the actual wars that are putting us all in danger of a worldwide conflict…. I’d much rather we keep fighting to make sure everyone gets heard, than we keep inflating the military budget and spending it on making kids orphans, or dead.
