I’m reading a book about gender roles and the sharing of housework among two job couples… its depressing- luckily not necessarily for me, but its sad to think for many.
I don’t mind being called “demanding” or “bitchy”… sometimes you have to ask for what you want.
And just as a little TMI- there is MUCH more sex when when “dude” does...
I just ran across a profile picture of some women...
I am NOT kidding.

“This is America, where a white Catholic male Republican judge was murdered on...”

In his Inaugural Address, Bill Clinton said “There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.” It’s questionable, yes. But in some moments it does seem possible.
Racism surrounds us and infects us. We have not created a real...

Is it to much to suggest that my mom is trying to...
Mom: Paul is going to be someone.
Me: I guess so.
Mom: He is really intelligent and he's going to do something great.
Me: Not really, he just gets by.
Mom: He is educated and blah blah...
Me: He will be fine- he won't rely on anyone else and will be responsible for himself his responsibilities...
Mom: Well, I think he's going to be someone great.
I hate to be an ultra-feminist theorist, but I honestly believe that mom is trying to get me to put Paul on a pedestal so he will have the upper hand and I will be submissive. I swear to this!
Also, Paul might be one of 5 that has/will have a master's degree in our county.

My mom still doesn't know if I'm an undergrad,...
She keeps asking if I’ll have my master’s degree when I’m done and when I sent her a link to each schools separate graduation recognition ceremonies, she wrote back, “Im confused on the graduation because it says masters, phd and undergrad. So Im not sure what time yours is”.
