Like many middle aged women I have trouble charging for my time. In fact, I have a lot of opinions about the commidification of labor. Call me a Marxist (though I felt he was better at psychology than economics). I have trouble placing a dollar amount on skills. Competition rather than cooperation and collaboration confuses me. I grew up in the 1950's where male dominance was the rule. How am I to change my views towards women as valuable when I grew up in an environment that demeaned and de-valued women? In May of 2009 the Obama administration promised to make the world better for women who need to make a living. Take a look:

Without women, without children, there will be no civilization. All the violence and domination undoes the birthing of the culture, the culture we as humans, men and women, propagate. If you are caught in a cycle of violence, if you take your harsh feelings out violently on nature, on women, or on children, I ask simply that you wake up to your rage and frustration. Your actions are responsible for this world. Make this time a different reality, please.
