#TEAWITHZOE
There is some mysterious movement afoot. I have no idea what it is. Fact is we are killing the planet, women, children, families, air, water, land. Mother Earth has put us on notice. The opponent is genius as it forbids us to gather; we have lost the right and power to assemble. The opponent cares nothing about race, class, gender, education, etc., but the treatment of Americans in the hands of this crisis, demonstrates all of these divides.
Women are at the front lines of the pandemic. Women are the majority of educators, 80% of healthcare providers, the hands-on workers in the "essential" businesses and primary parent, all the while being discriminated against in the "bailouts" Women are in danger both from double exhaustion and sequestered in a boiling pot of abuse with no escape.
There has never been a more obvious time to see the need for equal wages, equal benefits, equal pensions. Forgiveness of student loans does not remedy the lifetime of unequal wages paid for equal degrees paired with equal debt.
Climate conditions have been the Mother's ultimate warning signal; hard to breathe, poisoned water, decimated land. Possibly this is a global call for the patriarchy to clear out and die; a short time for practitioners of the patriarchy to end their rule. The ultimate "#timesup." Eh, a girl can dream.
But Nothing will change my mind. #womenwillsavetheworld - if it can be saved. Women have been trying for a very long time. Actually, we will never stop. #teawithzoe
