1) Stop censoring the words rape and rapist like they're a curse and a false accusation. Blame them, not others for the corruption of society. 2) Don't call the police on women except as a last resort; find some other way to handle it.
3) Don't nurse rapists to health.
4) A woman's worst enemy is a rapist; a man's worst enemy is himself.
5) It's not p.c. to capitalize black and white, even though they are a misnomer like red.
6) Burn the porno; you would want those pictures burned if they were of you.
7) Circumcision is against God/dess' law.
8) Stick up for the underdog. Don't blame Saudi Arabia or other Middle Eastern countries for their outlaws.
9) It's too hard to be a black woman in America.
10) The world does not love geniuses. It doesn't love idiots either.
11) Fire the perverts; it's p.c.. Perverts grab other people in private places without permission.
12) Don't work hard at "busywork," save your energy for caring for children or sick people.
13) If you can afford to pay rape advocates, please do it.
14) Celts are not Anglo-Saxons. We're not the same tribe.
15) Hate only rapists. God doesn't forgive rape. Hell is full of rapists, and it isn't okay to hate any other tribe.
16) Support your local artist, especially if you're an artist who made it.
17) You can't avoid ignorance of some things, don't let people make you feel guilty.
18) Native Americans are our first Americans and need to respected as such. Give all myths equal benefit of the doubt.
19) God/dess needs and wants love, not worship. You don't need to go to church to love God/dess, one another or to find love. God/dess is Love and Love is everywhere. "Love one another."
20) Don't cause children to suffer on purpose. Do what thou wilt so long as you harm none on purpose. Say "don't hit your children!" if you see someone else hitting their children, it will probably stop. Self defense is not harming someone on purpose.
21) Women DO NOT have privileges. Some women have more rights then others. Taking rights away from some women will not restore rights to others or give rights to those who have none. Feminism is about all women having all of their rights.
22) Don't talk to children, or the disabled, like they are chimps.
23) It should be legal to shoot rapists. When they are killed write "S/he was a rapist" on the wall or on a note and pin it to the body. The path or greatest resistance is just about as foolish as the path of the least.
24) Talk to your rape crisis center, improve it. Tell other women who tell you they were raped, "it's not your fault," that you believe them and compliment them.
25) Remember, everyone wants beautiful white friends. Friendship is peace and it's greater then love.
