northwestwomen

In this day and age, anything is possible. Anything is accessible. If there’s a will there’s a way! We are a generation of spoiled kids who grew up on pop culture from the 80’s and 90’s. We are now people of instant gratification- we just go online- go search for some burning question on google, “surf” the web, do transactions on the web… the internet is huge!

The ideal northwest woman takes advantage of opportunity. She seizes the moment to make it her own. Her opinion does matter, whether she is in the workplace, the head of the household, or voting for her favorite candidate.

Am I the ideal northwest woman? Not nearly. Nor do we live in a perfect society. But at least we live in a free, democratic society. And, that’s good to me.

I just get upset and feel helpless at times. If I do see something that isn’t right, I just sit or stand there and watch it. I want to do something, but I’m afraid of the reprocussions.

Here’s a story of my faults at work: a couple weeks ago I was waiting for the bus downtown. There were three cops on bikes harassing a man sitting down on the ground by the bus stop. What was he doing wrong? Why does it take three police men to get a drunk man off the ground. So he was a little drunk and 250 lbs. heavy, but doesn’t he have a right to sit on the ground if he was tired? I’d have sit on the ground,too, but society has put a leash on me saying, “No! Sitting on the ground is dirty!” There weren’t any chairs around the stop. All I did was watch these guys harass this poor old drunk. I think I was afraid to be arrested for speaking my mind.

The ideal northwest woman is a woman who isn’t afraid to be who she is, and stand up for what is right. She is a radicalist, not some passive agressive, conservatist liberalist.
