"Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine

Please note: if you are going to get freaky about the F-word you should probably just skip this post.  I know this language isn't very ladylike but sometimes a girl just has to... I don't know...  I'm thinking about that famous quote "Well-behaved women seldom make history":

I'm still feeling a lot of rage over the "Equal Means Equal" movie.  Women are discriminated against in so many ways:


There are some bills before the Senate Judiciary and the House to remove the time limit for ratifying the ERA.  I'm not 100% clear on how it all fits together, but here are some links to some information about it:

Anyway, several months ago, after having a discussion with our therapist she came up with a phrase that has become our mantra: "Don't fuck with my Zen!".  To help me/us always remember to not let things fuck with my Zen, I even made posters to hang on our walls.

I'm not exactly sure what happened today, we have been doing really well for some weeks now.  Staying strong and not letting things fuck with our Zen.  But today it was like we completely lost it and everything was fucking with our Zen.

Anyway, I've had this song stuck in my head ever since Monday night when I posted that other song by Rage Against the Machine.
