What Women Hear

I couldn’t resist re-posting this. I’ve heard all of these my entire life. I hope that my granddaughters don’t have to. “Be a lady they said. Your skirt is too short. Your shirt is too low. Your pants are too tight. Don’t show so much skin. Don’t show your thighs. Don’t show your breasts. Don’tContinue reading “What Women Hear”

Black Friday

I don’t know if this will do any good, but if you are like me, you feel angry, frustrated, and helpless. I am unable to march, but I’ve written letters and emails, signed petitions, donated money. I know it’s not enough. The Republicans, Christians, and Supreme Court have opened a nasty can of worms thatContinue reading “Black Friday”

Abortion Memes

I just read a blog post that said women were created to make babies and that all women should honor that creation; doesn’t matter whether you want to have a baby or not, whether you want children at all. I don’t think women were created for having babies any more than men were. We allContinue reading “Abortion Memes”

Chris Rock and Will Smith

I didn’t watch the Oscars, but I sure heard about the altercation between Chris Rock and Will Smith afterward and tons of opinions on both sides. Some people believed that Chris Rock was wrong, and others thought that Will Smith was wrong. But this is not a situation of either/or. I think they both wereContinue reading “Chris Rock and Will Smith”

The Downfall of Andrew Cuomo

At one time, people who praised Andrew Cuomo were impressed by how well he handled the pandemic and created a program that educated about sexual harassment. I was one of them. Like many others, I am now angry and feel betrayed by Cuomo’s sexual harassment and assault against at least 11 women. He did manyContinue reading “The Downfall of Andrew Cuomo”

Repost: TMI Tuesday: August 25, 2020: Sex & Religion

1. How important is religion in your life? At one time I was very devout Christian, but always searching for answers. I thought I had found them as a Catholic, but after 15 years I finally realized it wasn’t what I was looking for. I left the church and somehow found myself as a member ofContinue reading “Repost: TMI Tuesday: August 25, 2020: Sex & Religion”

Male Privilege Checklist

This is an interesting project from the Arizona State University’s “Project Humanities,” getting the idea from the Radical Profeminist blog http://radicalprofeminist.blogspot.com/2008/10/unpacking-male-privilege-jockstrap-by.html. Most of them are not new to me, but a few were a surprise. Many men most likely have never thought of these issues since most of them are so deeply ingrained from generation to generation.Continue reading “Male Privilege Checklist”

Toy Train Set

My grandfather worked for the railroad. I remember the miniature train village at the Seattle Center inside of the Food Circus. I remember the Christmas window display at JC Penney’s of the miniature train set. If you put your hand against the handprint, you could make the train run or stop. I grew up wantingContinue reading “Toy Train Set”

Mrs. Wolfe of https://thoughtsofmrswolfie.com/2020/10/15/on-love-sex-instant-messaging/ requested that her post be reblogged and I’m happy to do so.
