I’m counting on my sisters in Indiana and North Carolina to do it for themselves and all of us!

I would love to hear the argument that “gender shouldn’t matter” when there has been at least ONE female President of the United States.

Has anyone seen Two Girls One Finger?
I can’t help but reflect that I used to be so cool and sophisticated when I was a teen/young adult.
Two Girls One Finger is apparently so disgusting that the new thing is to get people, mostly girls, to watch it on video so they can tape their response.
I saw […]
Earlier today I posted the difference between performing sex and experiencing sex from Princesses & Porn Stars by Emily McGuire.
Speaking of the same self-objectification Ms. Magazine and Jezebel are talking about the same thing.
Some excerpts:
Self-objectification, or “viewing one’s body as a sex object to be consumed by the male gaze.” More and more women are […]
I am increasingly uncomfortable and pissed off at the amount of time the media is spending on Barack Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright.
I go to church every week. I have for several years, after about a decade of never going to church. I was raised in a home where I went to church every week.
I have […]
I love the name of this book I’m reading called Princesses & Pornstars by Emily Maguire, an Australian feminist theorist.
“And if how sexy you feel is only related to how much you conform to someone else’s version of what sexy looks like, then you are - by definition - a sex-object. Most of us have […]
read an article in O Magazine about weight loss, “I Was A 51-Year-Old Desk Muffin” by Pulitzer Prize winner Geraldine Brooks, with disdain.
The entire article was self-flagulation and self-deprecation for being, according to the BMI Calculator a NORMAL WEIGHT.
Guess how much the self-discribed “aging hippo” weighed? 123 pounds. She was 5′2″ and over the course […]
If you talk to people you’ll hear all about how the world is going to hell because parents aren’t watching their children anymore. I can hardly go to church, have lunch or momchat on the playground without hearing this come up.
Irresponsible parents do everything from let their children play with the neighbors to allowing […]
Democracy only works if people vote in their own self-interest.
It’s a system entirely based on self-interest actually.
It’s a system based on the idea that if everyone votes for their own self-interest then in the end we’ll arrive at solutions that meet the MAJORITY’S interests.
You muck up the system if you start voting in other people’s […]
I read an article in a parenting magazine saying parents should allow their boys to keep their lovie’s or bankies even up until 8 or 9. I’m going to send his article to my younger brother who’s in his 30s and his 3-year-old daughter is teasing him about his still-present attachment to his blankie.
He […]
McCain helped defeat the Fair Pay Act this week - which concerns your pay check and that guy in the cube next to you.
If you have the same education and training as the guy next to you, you’re making less money. Here’s a statistical fact: If you’re a childless woman you make 73 cents to […]
Marcus Buckingham is a leading career counselor and he’s offering a FREE career workshop to help people take charge of their work-life balance.
I’ve taken the first 4 courses, watching 15-20 minutes of a classroom lecture and then filling in a workbook about your own career realities and goals.
I’ve found his perspective to be refreshing.
One of […]
Food Inflation (click on the link and watch a Business Week video explaining causes of food inflation in a pop up).
Been to the grocery store yet this week?
It made me nostalgic for last week. . . last month . . . last year.
The price of wheat has gone up 80-something percent and now retailers […]

It’s such a tight rope women walk in today’s world.
Republicans claim to want to reduce the abortion rate.
Republicans claim to think it’s wrong when women who work fulltime and “abandon their children in daycare.”
Republicans claim to hate “entitlement programs” that cost them tax money.
I have to wonder why, when facing a solution to 3 of […]
