2. Can we ever get over this? WE can... THEY can't - and won't.

From Eve onward, women have been at the root of all evil for them. Look how little is known of Lilith. They are scared of us, of our power. We can do ONE thing they can't do -- grow and bear life. And it terrifies them. That's why they have to keep us down in anyway possible. That's why we're called "Witches"... it's the only spiritually evil name they can come up with for us. But we've reclaimed that label and wear it proudly. "Witch" to me has shed the religious undertones they've hawked through the ages. To me, "Witch" means "Sisterhood"... and bind us women in a way that no man can ever experience. I'm proud of it. But I'm now also cautious. I'm too "out" to go back into the broom closet, but with our inclusive, public rituals being intruded upon... including barging into ritual circles, it pays to be cautious. I'm on the way out the door, but I've got a news story that doesn't often make the front page around here. But it's very telling, as to where we are with Dominionism vs everyone else...
