Last week I wondered why men are so threatened by women. Now I’m thinking the better question may be “why do men think they’re so much more entitled and capable of leading than women?” They clearly don’t like competition from women. I’m not saying all men feel this way. But there does appear to...

Today on my way to my four month oncology check-up, I saw an awesome bumper sticker. It said: “You were once wild. Don’t let them tame you.” I don’t know what it was supporting. There was fine print under the second line, but I didn’t get a chance to try and read it. (The...

Men vs. women

You know what I find interesting and don’t understand at all? Men who are threatened by women. I was watching Survivor One World a couple of weeks back. In case you don’t watch Survivor, this time they separated the two tribes to start with, men against women, but instead of having them live in...

The other night Wayne and I were chatting with a neighbor as we walked Murph. Holly runs a department at one of the local community colleges. Somehow we got to talking about marriages and divorce rates and I brought up my theory that only 15 minutes or less per week of conversation might be...

Birth control: one more reason I’m Hellbound

I’ve been following the birth control issue that’s been a hot topic in the news lately with great interest. I’ve never been on the pill, but for personal reasons rather than religious or political ones. For me, tampering with my body’s chemistry like that has never felt right. However, I’m a firm believer in...

Thoughts on the housewife/stay-at-home wife negative connotation

Last week my friend Jade sent me a fabulous article called “Evolution of the Housewife.” It discussed a study that found two-thirds of U.K. stay-at-home moms don’t like the word “housewife” and about a third of them find it insulting. HOUSEWIFE = WORTHLESS There is most definitely a negative connotation associated with the word...

Last night I got a surprise treat. Wayne was supposed to head straight from Atlanta to Miami, but that didn’t pan out so he got to come home for a night before heading down to Miami. Yay! He told me about his training and something interesting that had been discussed: the importance of women...

Do you compare yourself to other wives?

February 13, 2011

I do. I have friends that are amazing. They are talented, creative, organized, and in general just with it. Some days I’m doing good just to get out of bed, shower, and feign normalcy. I was surprised when two of the women on my tennis team, who I think are dynamos both on and...

I came across a new favorite quote on Twitter yesterday. It was Tweeted by @WomenofHistory and I actually saw it as I was scrolling through @HauntJaunts‘s Twitter feed (a.k.a. my other blog), not @SAHWExperiment‘s. At any rate, here was the quote: Women who strive to be equal to men lack ambition. -Anonymous Short, sweet, but...
