Wymyn as undefined Femme: Byte as a unit of Data

Nomenclature that defines only one primary bit informing our identities.

As we are:

Wymyn, Womyn, Women, American Marginalized Communities, Asian Americans, Adopted And Imported People, Creatives, Creators,

Living under and in opposition to systems of racial, religious, and gender-based oppression funded and promulgated by imperialist patriarchy, greed, and religious misogyny.

Write for equality, 

Create for Liberation, 

Live as examples of Love for our fellow creatures and the Earth we must steward.

Once upon a time, women questioned the standards set by the Barbie generation and asked for more, and better.

In a time when we truly have been set back and need to fight for our rights to bodily autonomy, the American culture has dangled her candy-coated dol
