In the same vein as the Normal Breasts Gallery, which I wrote about earlier this week on both Blog Fabulous and Empowering Girls: So Sioux Me, we have The Shape of a Mother.
Both galleries are beautiful and artful acts of passive resistance to the media message “You’re not good enough.”
Real mothers have boldly […]
The View Hot Topic: “Would you let your boy play with dolls?”
“No way,” Sherry Shepherd said Wednesday. “I’d take a doll away! I don’t want my boy playing with dolls, I want him growing up like a man.”
Elizabeth chimes in that she would “take the baby doll away and replace it with a GI Joe.”
It’s […]
Paul McCartney asked this woman to marry him in the 60s. Today she’s asking herself, Why didn’t I say yes?

I can’t tell you how often I hear women criticize their own breasts.
I often hear, I just want “normal” breasts. The owner of the breasts has generally stood before a mirror and compared her own image to the images she sees on television, in movies, in magazines and on the Internet.
But, those aren’t NORMAL breasts. […]

Yesterday I told you how Zack Ran Away to visit his friend down the street.
What bothered me was the threat to call the police.
Is that what neighbors do now?
We resent looking out for each other’s kids to such a degree that we’d rather call the police than talk to a mother, maybe help her devise […]
“Tracee, Zack is over at my house. A man brought him to the door and said he almost ran him over with his truck. He says if it happens again he’s going to call the police!”
“AACK! Zack What? How? Outside? I’m on my way!”
Evidently, my two-year-old son knows how to work the latch - […]
Sometimes it’s easier to fix something myself than to get it to the top of my husband’s list.
Step 1 - Go to ABC Auto Parts. They expect me to know nothing cause I’m a girl. They very patiently explain, and yes, sometimes they even offer to do it for me. Take notes. Allen, the auto […]
Pee Pee on the tree like a puppy Zack.

I’m proud of my country because we can admit that we were tragically WRONG for participating in slavery and bigotry and that it still carries consequences to this day.
I’m proud of my country because this year we’re deciding we’re done with our long history of racism and sexism.
I’m proud of my country because this […]
Every once in a while I hear a married person say, I wish I were single. . .
And for a minute I entertain the idea of what that would be like. So, I might visit Dating Dames.
Where I get a ring-side view on what it’s like to be single today.
Take this story on how […]
I’m in the middle of FEMININE MISTAKE, THE: ARE WE GIVING UP TOO MUCH?
Leslie Bennetts, the author brings up the idea that, as she puts is, motherhood is a Temp Job.
Being a mom is a temp job, and if you take that temp job and become completely dependent on your spouse, that makes you so […]
Ever walk in a Kitchen Store and wonder what, exactly, some of those gadgets do? I know I will pick up a colorful silicone item in the shape of a tomato and wonder What the bleep does this do?
Generally I’m either being a tourist in a cute boutiquey kind of town or I’m shopping for […]
