    Hi, I was creating a post, when it was saved without the body of text. I don't know how that happened! Anyway, now I have a post with a title, but no text. How can I correct that? The name of the post is "Who determines womanhood?" Any help would be great! Thanks.  Read more >

The operative word is Chicago and this town has Blackhawk fever! Hockey has been the lead for local newscasts.  Read more >

    When I read the headline “Kung fu grannies ready to fight rapists” I immediately clicked on the link. I was angry. I love the martial arts and I think self defense is necessary for all women and girls, but I wondered who would harm someone’s grandmother?The article goes on to state that “1 in 5 rape victims in Kenya is over the age of 60” and the men rape the grandmothers in the belief that they will be cured of AIDS or that they will be “cleansed” of prior crimes. I’m not sure I believe any of the reasons. What’s going to cleanse them of the crime of rape?  Read more >
