I would like to take a moment to reclaim the word UPPITY.
There is nothing wrong with a man or woman being Uppity. It is a positive word. It means they are ambitious and doesn't want to be pushed down (into the gutters).
There is nothing wrong with a man being ambitious. There is nothing wrong with a woman being ambitious. Being Uppity is a good thing because it means you want to accomplish things.
Uppity people scaled Mount Everest.
Uppity people went to the moon.
Uppity people enter politics.
Uppity people cure diseases.
Uppity people become doctors, scientists, engineers and work to make the world a better place.
Uppity people can still make food in the kitchen when they choose to and raise kids if they want to. There is nothing holding them back because they're the type of people who see POSSIBILITIES instead of closed doors.
Being Uppity is Awesome.
So the next time you hear someone call another person Uppity, you should clap and congratulate the Uppity person on being called such a fine compliment.
We need to be encouraging people to be Uppity.
Uppity people will be the first colonize Mars and explore beyond our solar system. That isn't a bad thing. That is so freaking awesome you will be telling your grandchildren about the day it first happened, when a handful of Uppity people said "Lets do this!" and then they accomplished something amazing that all of mankind can share in.
Always remember: Be Uppity and you will Accomplish Amazing Things.
Pregnant Woman Decapitates Rapist
A friend of mine sent me this:
Now THAT is what I call "Pioneer Justice". If this had happened in the USA, in the mid-west, nobody would have faulted the woman for giving the rapist his 'just desserts'.
A pregnant rape victim in Turkey shot and decapitated her attacker then left his severed head in the square of her local village.
The woman, five months pregnant, is demanding authorities let her have an abortion even though she is way beyond the ten week limit allowed for terminations in Turkey. The woman even said she is prepared to die as long as she is allowed to have the abortion.
When police arrested her near to the severed head she said; 'That is the head of one who toyed with my honour.'
Womens' groups in Turkey have praised her as a heroine. It turned out that the woman, aged 26 and a mother-of-two, had been abused by her attacker for months before she took her revenge and was being blackmailed.
The rapist had taken nude photos of her and threatened to send them to her parents unless she continued sleeping with him.
She took a gun and shot him ten times, several times in his private parts, before cutting off his head and hurling it into the village square at Yalvac.
The man was also reportedly stabbed in the abdomen after he was shot.
"He kept saying that he would tell everyone about the rape," she said during her testimony. "My daughter will start school this year," she said, referring to one of her other daughters.
"Everyone would have insulted my children. Now no one can. I saved my honour," she added.
"They will now call children the kids of the women who saved her honor."
Now THAT is what I call "Pioneer Justice". If this had happened in the USA, in the mid-west, nobody would have faulted the woman for giving the rapist his 'just desserts'.
