There is no “sisterhood”. It’s every woman for herself.

Please don’t send me political stuff right now. I have way too much personal stuff to deal with, I don’t have the time or energy for anything else. Unless it’s advocating for abused children and the family court system- how they have no oversight and give kids away to abusers every single day. If you allege (proven or not) DV or even rape, they don’t care- give kid to the abuser. If you allege child sexual abuse- it’s even worse- mothers have had to run away from this and other countries to protect their abused kids because family court is bought and paid for by dirty money and everyone who works there, including the attorneys are part of this broken system.
One women fled to the Netherlands, whom we have an extradition agreement with, but was ultimately given sanctuary once she proved her case there.
And I NEVER post information about missing children when it’s a mother who has disappeared with the child. Because our family court system is so corrupt, there is an Underground Railroad- so I’m told- to help them.
And let’s be real here, it’s not “all men” but it usually is men. This is also not a condemnation of men generally. There are many females- judges, attorneys, evaluators, in the system who are as bad or worse than the abusive litigants.
It was when I went through the family court process (or wringer) myself that I lost my naive sense that women share some kind of “sisterhood”. That’s BS. That’s why women can’t get it together and stop anything else- like keeping men out of women’s sports. It’s every woman for herself out there. And sometimes it’s a man who helps, but you cannot, CANNOT, count on other women.
That whole “women’s march” a few years ago, those women were absolutely full of shite. I know a couple of them who went and asked them for help- family members even- one a witness that I needed to testify and the other a lawyer- turned on me. While I was still “liberal”. There’s no sisterhood, there’s no loyalty, and the “feminism” they preach is as fake as everything else they say.

People wonder why women don’t get the results that other movements do. We’re divided and selfish.

Born a first generation American, half Irish Catholic and half Persian Jew, I like to write about a childhood mired in the chaos of never knowing where I stood. The only constants in my life have been reading, writing and a passion for social justice. I am a nurse, a single mother, a domestic abuse survivor, radical feminist and outspoken advocate for logic, public health, gray areas, and purposeful dialogue. I know entirely too much about sociopaths, autism, and medieval British history. I write under a pen name to protect the privacy of my family.
