Where are The Women?

Now, I realize this post is geared towards the female perspective so I apologize now.
The thing is, on YouTube, I find WAY more videos about male SCI than females and I am not sure why that is.

So this post is about awareness and challenge.

Asali Johnson has a C5 quadrilplegic injury. In her video on 'A Day With Asali Johnson" she talks about her conversation with her friends, how they might complain about their day then go "oh but that's NOTHING compared to what you are going through!". It's her reaction that I appreciate, and I realize it sounds negative (in terms of suffering), but there is a profound message behind what she is explaining. In her words, see below:

"I don't think that human beings should compare levels of suffering.. Maybe you had a bad day at work or maybe you are having problems with your boyfriend or wife. Or whatever the case is you suffer because of it.  You may not think that that is not the same as my suffering, that my suffering is something different, different kind of suffering but suffering is suffering. "

So I want to share this video with you:

Followed by a challenge - Ladies help get more videos on YouTube! Or on a blog. Just out there. So much can be learned from shared experiences, and I hope for those of you who come across this blog that you feel challenged to do so.
