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...

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.
