It (the persecution thing) seems to be the same old thing, that when you're used to being in a privileged position, anything that takes away a part of that privilege, or even shares it, is seen as an injury. bah! silly people!
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, Todd. Next you're going to be saying that rich white men have it hard.

well that and the timing with Father's Day. Wife is coming off the license too, and mother/father SHOULD come off birth certificates. parent parent parent.
hi there soapbox, how I've missed you.

They want to give me a laptop at work. DO NOT WANT.
Especially since it'll most likely be a mac, making my current, ancient laptop at home seem all the more dated.

Your point is valid. I hadn't thought of it that way, that the fear was equality. Didn't Kat make a similar point a few days ago?

And the meeting I just came out of? That's why my friends should not be jealous of my job.

yep she did. The fear has been presented as the sanctity of marriage, but that seems to be (at least for some) a thinly veiled fear of men's position as boss being challenged.
bah - I would be worse than less of a person in these people's minds they do not deserve the energy of my rage. I can focus that energy into raising a beautiful compassionate boy who loves people not types.

Birth certificates are weird to me. In theory, they would seem to identify the biological parents of the child (though infidelity or donor gametes on the male side, or surrogacy or donor gametes on the female side, make this dodgy already). But am I right that if you adopt a child you can have their birth certificate amended (or re-issued) to include you as the parent? I think this is what the other woman I know with an Ethiopian-born son went through.
