International Women’s Day March 8, 2025

My last opinion piece stated the facts of daily current events, suggesting government chaos theory along with the murder of women. When I write my thoughts, it is acknowledging historical womanhood and the strength of communities internationally fighting for us as an endangered species. The thing is, the right women (not “pick me” women, who lack self-worth) should be celebrated and protected as an endangered species. If the human male species lived life like male seahorses, after courtship, the female seahorses incubate on their tails with embryos.

National Geographic states “Male seahorses develop complex placental structures within their pouch, similar to human pregnancy, to support the growth and development of their babies. Seahorse fathers seem to rely on elaborate behaviors and their unique body structure to facilitate labor, including contractions of large skeletal muscles near the pouch opening.” Basically, male seahorses have something similar to a uterus, the science of human biology term would be “intersex.” Maybe you might recognize the outdated derogatory word, hermaphrodite.

If the human male species lived life like male seahorses, then a partial human women species of 49.5% would rule Mother Gaia. I honor female seahorses that rule the ocean and the male species. They are not tamed or targeted for their existence by male seahorses. I’m pretty sure there is no domestic violence between them, but there is the matter of irresponsible parenthood, a common occurrence between parent seahorses (which I do not agree with) because the baby’s life expectancy is low.

If the human male species carried a womb and birth children experiencing the brutal abuse and murderous evil killings of women in all communities, and were hunted by the right women, their psyche would be altered drastically. The human male would be the endangered species, and the death toll would be high because they would endure the same violence. To the 4,176,490,368 male population, where is your strength to protect the endangered human female species?

Honoring historic women

I did not see a lot of press around International Women’s Day, especially in the United States. The honoring of women historically began with the first wave of the 1848-1920 suffrage movement, which started in New York. Because of this movement, women internationally led to the 19th Amendment, which allowed women to vote, being passed. This powerful journey suggests women were heard on a magnitude of greater significance. This path led other women, especially of color, to support countries during WWII, where all men were drafted. During the war, 350,000 served, including the African American women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. Some of their names were Charity Adams Early, Josephine Baker, and Jacqueline Cochran, among others. Factory workers worked building machinery, ships, and other items. Then there are the cryptographers, such as Winnie Breegle, who assisted in using languages she spoke to code messages.

During the second wave, from 1963 to 1980, women were liberated and had the freedom to demonstrate the difference between motherhood and wifehood. Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, and others founded the National Women’s Political Caucus in 1971. Key points of the second wave included the passage of the Equal Pay Act and landmark Supreme Court decisions for reproductive freedom, such as Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) and Roe v. Wade (1973).

The third wave in the 1990s acted as a catch-all for all the social ills that still befall women, such as sexual harassment in the workplace and the glass ceiling that results in a shortage of women in positions of power. Some other women to honor in history are the first female Ngoni chief of the Dedza district in Malawi to stop child marriage. She annulled hundreds of child marriage. Her father built her with education and support to fulfill her destiny as chief of her tribe. She began her journey with protecting young girls and women from being targeted by the atrocities of a cruel world. I hope she continues this great work and builds integrity for the young women she has saved.

And the fourth wave puts us in the present day…

In conclusion, we do not know the actual truth of Adam and Eve, but the load of bull that is psycho dominance from the human male species is out of control.
