Why do all our inherently favorite female activities and happenings have male dominated names? MENopause. GUYnecologist. MENstruation. What’s the deal with that? We need to apply some of lady-style monikers to a few of their favorite things. Sorry, I’m blanking on good examples, but y’know, come on!

Hey Girly! Ever read “God on a Harley”? Very good, easy read, written mostly for women; however, even a knuckle dragger like me got something out of it. The principles taken from it are “Commandments to live by.” 1) Do not build walls, for they are dangerous. Learn to transcend them. 2) Live in the moment, for each one is precious and not to be squandered. 3) Take care of yourself, first and foremost (physically, emotionally, mentally). 4) Drop the ego. Be real. And watch what happens. 5) All things are possible all of the time. 6) Maintain universal flow. When someone gives, it is an act of generosity to receive. For in the giving, there is something gained.

Keep on pluggin away, Darlin, and “Live generously…it does a world of good”

You go girl! Now that’s Owning Pink for you, sista. Why should your girl parts be nice to you, when you’re always dissing them? You’d be surprised. Maybe now that you’re going to accept the skin you’re in and nourish your fabulous femaleness, you Yoni will be kinder to you. It’s pretty amazing stuff, all that Pinkness down there. You might find, one day, that you can be friends. I know it took me thirty-five years to do so, but I finally did it, and I’ve been happier ever since.

Keeping it up, Pinky!

Ah, the wonders of the vagine. It’s like a delicate little flower… that bleeds uncontrollably for five days every month.

I’ve been in the opposite camp all my life – thanking God I was born female, even in the face of periods, childbirth, menopause and chin hairs. This gratitude grows with each passing day as I look at our male counterparts and realize that if men had to give birth, there might have been Cain, but definitely no Abel. We, my friend, would not be here.

Don’t get me wrong – I love men, but I have a realistic view of their strengths and weaknesses.

God knew to give women the task of bearing children and all that goes with it…there IS method to what appears to be (and often feels like) madness.
