LV women's expo

Yesterday i had the pleasure of going to the Las Vegas Women's 2009 Expo. Now i say pleasure not because i was impressed, but because i was allowed to see just how badly women are being catered to. Everything in that expo which was meant to be for women was about pointing out what was wrong with being a woman. It was without question depressing. 99.9% of the booths promoted aspects of the feminine self that needed to be fixed, corrected or just gotten rid of. 90% of the women there where handed weight watchers bags to carry around with them. Now i did come across 1 booth in all the madness which was actually there to promote women in business, but only the one. I was so put off by the energy in the expo space that i had to remove myself and wait for the people i went with outside in the hall. While i was sitting there on the floor i heard countless numbers of women complain about the lack of booths they themselves expected to be there. Booths that would have promoted love of self and body. And believe it or not there was nothing and i mean nothing set up for children. Roughly 85% of the women there had small children with them. Not one face painting booth in site.

It did not surprise me later when i finally found out the event was put together by a man. I am not by any means saying a success event for women can not be put on by a man. To be a true Wylde Woman you must understand that it is essential to your very being to work harmoniously with all masculine energy. But this event just smacked of patriarchal propaganda.

So how can i use the word pleasure in the opening sentence. Very easily. It was a pleasure to be there, it was an affirmation of the need for a new energy. The displeasure that this event created also created a space for something new to be bought into the physical realm. You have to love contrast. So continues the Wylde Women revolution.
