WHY?

RantWoman WHY are you posting these links TOGETHER?

1. They are true to many themes on RantWoman's mind.

2. There is a difference between digesting ideas with good oral or written conversation and fitting one's Light into the preferred 30-second messages of some Friends around RantWoman.

And WHY do you insist on tagging the post #Women's History Month???

The short answer: there are some inspiring female figures here. There is an article that calls itself feminist and that reminds RantWoman why feminism needs to be a big tent. Also not every moment of women's history is glorious and inspiring and part of women's history is what women deal with on an ongoing basis.

Flashback? How far back?

Flashback Friday 100th Anniversary of Mt Rainier and Featuring Floyd Schmoe

Floyd Schmoe was a founder of UFM. At the time of this interview he was older than Mt. Rainier National Park. He died in 2001 at the age of 105.

It would be catty to post the details of what this story has to do with #WomensHistoryMonth

Old Stranger item about Seattle's Best Christians

WARNING: there is cringe-worthy  mention of a now-disgraced politician. RantWoman has no basis for any opinion about what anyone should write now about this individual and faith.

Aside from the admirable struggles and service chronicled here, RantWoman did her customary count names and measure space exercises.  The Stranger article mentions 3 men and 2 women. Each man gets considerably more space than either woman. 

In case anyone has missed a generational theme,

RantWoman thinks some of the language here might have spoken to Friend Floyd.
