as cited from google,
videlicet when did Women
march to the beat
of their own drummer?

Important cases in point being,
yet not only include
the following few outstanding
examples throughout history,
such as the following key milestones
including the 1789
Women's March on Versailles,
the 1913 US Suffrage Parade,
and the 1956
South African anti-pass march,
but countless examples nowadays
(to many to mention)

showcasing role models young girls
can aspire to whereat

nary a small block of time elapses

when or where this,
that or another female fêted

and recognized for her contribution

as a testament
to the realms of achievement

breaking on thru to the other side
transcending that figurative "glass ceiling"

whereat the doors once barring

women (make up
approximately 49.7%
to 49.8% of the world's population),
according to data
from 2024–2026,
which translates
to slightly fewer women
than men globally
(roughly 101-102 men
for every 100 women)
diminishing by nearly half
regarding the above notated percentage
attributed to criteria
that vary by region
due to factors like
life expectancy and migration.

Once exclusive to the strict male domain
as defined by,
(who else but white
anglo saxon protestants - WASPS)
the near limitless opportunities
available to those delineated
once generically bequeathed
with the twenty third chromosome
randomly assigned as xx designation

versus human males
allotted xy combination
now the latter beset
without any guarantee

that gender at birth
(becoming more ambiguous
simply courtesy genitalia alone)
now (more so prior
to what used to be
clear cut circumscribed
reproductive organs as presence
of de facto pudenda de rigeur),
a French phrase used in English
to describe something strictly required,
fashionable, or expected by etiquette,
custom, or protocol) determined
and decreed flat out of birth canal
or revealed after
Cesarean section performed
determined lifetime being hashtagged
as a boy or girl after obstetrician
declared once mother
no longer gravid with child
prematurely ejaculated
to standing ovation
or utter silence within
patriarchal (a social system
or family structure
where men hold primary power,
dominate roles of political leadership,
moral authority, and control of property
versus matriarchal (a social system,
family, or structure where women,
particularly the eldest or mothers,
hold primary power, authority,
and control over property, lineage,
and decision-making
signifying a female-
dominated structure,
often featuring matrilineal descent.

If given a choice,
I (a generic caucasian male,
latitudinarian Martian,
nonestablishmentarian Pennsylvanian,
and sexagenarian Unitarian)
would choose the latter type society
to join (even at this late age
of three score and seven)
mainly because yours truly
lacks that gung-ho macho
obvious predilection
towards dominating, inculcating,
and ordaining role diametrically against
“they/them/theirs”
but would prefer to follow
a millennium long tradition,
whereat warfare
would be relegated
to a win/win conflict resolution,
which eye opening paradigm
brought to my attention
by the late Jean Wolff Dole
(died 2006, aged 76)
a prominent Lima,
Pennsylvania-based psychotherapist
with over 30 years of practice,
specializing in conflict resolution
as well as an author,
trenchant educator at local universities,
and advocate for
child abuse prevention,
known for her compassionate approach
to resolving personal
and world conflicts.
