feel like a woman.!

Teaching about gender differences in counselling... tricky... women now.. they are the ones with the feelings right?
but in researching 'women's issues' Jaysus.. makes me grateful to have been born in Wagga Wagga New South Wales as one of the dominant culture in this country 'cos it doesn't look so good if you are other than that, Indigenous in Australia, or Chinese (17 mill more boy babies.. natural selection you think?) or in Iran where you can be married at 17 to an already married man aged over 60 for the period of a month.. or India, or Africa, .....where if you are lucky you will meet up with the fistula clinic... to avoid a lifetime of seeping waste products and isolation due to smelling so badly. All from having a child too young. ..

Humans aren't always so nice you know and often
'don't play well with others'...
ah the rich tapestry of life.. or in Australia the rich tapestry of lies... presently.
Offset by good will, self sacrifice, joy and beauty .... it's like a see saw of the small minded self interested on one end and the generous spirited on the other with the majority in between.. and the plank keeps swinging....
What's it all about? .. Enoy the ride? I think I might be sick...
