AGA Roll Call: What Women Need

For the past few days I have been in a bad mood. Not my traditonal bad moods, where I pick up a guitar, write a pathetic sad song and then listen to some sad music. This isn't an angry mood where I start fights with Nik and pick up my electric and write songs about how much I hate George W. Bush. I haven't been in either one of those moods in ages...this mood is different.

This is the type of mood where I want to lock myself in a closet...or run away and find escape. However, I am smart enough that I know running away isn't going to solve my problems, at least not this time.

My sister called me yesturday, I didn't pick up so she left me a voice mail. Half concerned, half pissed off she said," I don't know why you haven't call me back. I don't know if you are purposely ignoring me or you just haven't been able to call me. Ok, Ttyl?" Now in all fairness the last time my sister contacted me it was at 1:30 in the morning with a text message that said "Whats up". I didn't respond because I was trying to sleep.

What do women need most?

There are endless opinions on just what it is women need the most in this world-- amongst feminists and in feminist theory there have been many answers given as to what this need might be.

What do you think it is? More confidence? Weapons? Their own country? Food? More love for their mothers? More love from their mothers? Or fathers? College education? A sense of completeness apart from lovers/family/children? A revolution or breakthrough in science, math or space travel? A womens martial art?

What is the common thing that womankind the world over needs?
