After having spent my adult life variously not being a mom, being a married mom, being a single mom, being a mom who stayed at home and being a mom who worked outside the home, I have come to the conclusion that if you are a fertile woman of childbearing years, no matter what you’re […]

“My administration will give unprecedented support to strengthening marriages. Many good programs help couples who want to get married and stay married.” -President Bush
Apparently there’s money for it. See?
So all I need to do is write up my grant proposal! I’m conducting the efficacy study right now.
First we created our characters…together. (oh […]

The first I actually heard about Rebecca Walker’s “Mommie Dearest”-style expose of the horrors of growing up as well-known feminist author Alice Walker’s daughter was on Michelle Malkin’s website–yeah, I admit, I periodically nip over there, mostly because she’s just so controversial that I just KNOW she must have SOMETHING to say that’ll really wow […]

Like many others, my father and I don’t see eye to eye: politically, socially, or culturally. He thinks feminism is a bunch of girls whining, and an effort to keep hard-working men down. He likes to be in wide-open spaces, where there is no one to talk to, I like the energy of […]

Their secret identities are still safe.
As anyone who’s been reading my posts for a while now knows, I am a mommy. S’matter of fact, I’ve been one for like 10,000 years now–okay, not really. It just FEELS that way. Sometimes!
I haven’t blogged overly much about the offspring for the following […]

My father* was in town today, and we spent about as friendly a day as we get. I am one of the weird people that the conservatives cackling about how they are outbreeding the liberals always seem to forget about: both of my parents are conservative. My mother is a crazy, born-again Christian […]

This just really, really irritates me.
Mother’s love worth $117,000 per year, study says
No, THAT isn’t what irritates me…actually I’d say that mother’s love, or any healthy parental love, is priceless. I think we’ve all seen how damaged people can end up being when they aren’t on the receiving end of much, or any, as […]

Miss Manners (left) after becoming a pod person.
Miss Manners is the greatest. I wanna be Miss Manners…except that I don’t see myself getting less lazy as the years go by and her advice always seems to require that one exerts extra effort and boy howdy, dealing with people daily already whups my butt. […]

Cute little devils, aren’t they.
So I was talking to my ex-husband…well, one of my ex-husbands, the one I actually reproduced with…the other day, and I was asking him how his new baby was doing (he just got remarried about a year ago) and he said she was fine, and then he said, “You know, she’s […]

How good of a 1930s housewife are you?

Gentlemen, beware! I scored a -8. I scored a -13 by “Doesn’t like children,” he means “Doesn’t actually intend to spawn.”
I’d really like to see what the husband’s chart looks like.

I’ve always giggled when people say we have moved to a “post-patriarchy” and that feminism is no longer necessary. People who believe this obviously don’t open their eyes very often. But, the fact that we still live in a patriarchy have never been more noticeable then when one is planning a wedding.
I never […]

Flying shards of glass and everything. I was so worried about the economy and BAM! FINALLY somebody, somewhere is aiming to do something about it!
Study: Single parents cost taxpayers $112 billion
That sure jumped out at me. Clearly, first off, single parents aren’t taxpayers! Or the headline would read […]
