And they've been promising to tell me if men are repulsed by women with big brains.
I understand. I, for one, couldn't live without this information. Please update!
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

I have just learned that society reinforces the stereotype that smart women don't get very far with men, but that that's not necessarily true according to the 2006 census, which says that women with degrees and high income are more likely to have a relationship (than those women without those things). However, less than 40 women are CEOs of Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies, which is only 2 1/2 percent. Also, women are more encouraged than men to look attractive at all times and to remember to promote other people over themselves in conversation. Also, of the random people they interviewed on the street, I got the distinct impression that every last one of them believed themselves to be smart, both the men and the women, and yet not a single one of them was actually physically attractive.
Interesting.

Then society's sending mixed messages again? Sure, this is news.

I want to know why society doesn't urge men to look pretty at all times and to promote others in conversation. I think this task can be handled by both sexes.
Also, it's really past my bed time, but since I was in a Nyquil fog all day, I don't really want to be sleepy now. Darn it. Darn Mondays.

They're men. According to society, they're not capable of doing more than one thing at once.
Which brings up the questions, who's this society anyway? Is it pretty? Can I hit it? Is it edible? What does it want from me? Are you my mommy?
Good night, Alibelle, and feel better!

Hmm. I wonder what census info they were using. More likely to be married? To be married or have a live-in boyfriend? What about us queers? What about all the babymamas out there, is that better or worse than being a single college educated woman with no boyfriend at all? Oh, the dilemmas!!

Very nice! Sunshine and cake and lots and lots of lounging.
And today I get to go bowling with twenty four-year-olds! Um.
