The Revealer has some interesting examples of the various ways in which the press report -- or don't report -- on the violent response of Iran's police to recent protests for women's rights.
What a fascinating picture! It's such a good example of how the demand that all women dress the same and in some dreary color makes them disappear as individuals, and that this is really one of the goals of the whole dress code argument.
Goddess but I hate having to do all this stuff again.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."

Thanks for your delicious blog, Hecate.
"I am not a number!"
What a vile thing androcentric religion is...
