Cis: Have We Really Come A Long Way?

(You have come a long way, baby) was the saying when I was in my 30’s. It was part cigarette saying and the by word of women. The call, so to speak, that we could do anything. That men were nice, but we did not have to have them to survive. The times of Anne Murray and I, am Woman. Or Althea Franklin’s R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Yes, you have come a long way, Baby … Or so we thought. In the news of the past few days and weeks, it has shown us that the young women, the teens have not learn this lesson what so ever. Once again, we see women being beat by men, even the music singers. We see that teen girls are taking pictures of themselves in the nude to  impress some boy, and texting them to boys. And of course, they end up on the web. So little respect for themselves/ Cis , Simple Mind. More here .

Question: Where do you think females stand today in terms of the old saying: “You have come a long way, baby”? Have they arrived? Have a way to go? Slipped back?
