Lastly, something that puzzles me in this conversation. When I think of powerhouse female collegiate basketball, I think of the "Lady Vol's" from Tennessee.
But that's the name that the college itself gave to the team. The universities who haven't slapped diminutives onto their women's sports teams tend to refer to them as (for instance) U.C. Bearcats Women's Basketball.
Which is better, I suppose, than my friend's co-ed high school that celebrated -- and I'm not making this up -- Men's Sports Week and Girls' Sports Day. Nice. Like they were forced to acknowledge that the female critters actually could bounce a ball, so they threw them the smallest bone possible.
One of the many reasons I loved going to an all-girls' school.
Ok. I think I'm in as much pain as I was on Thursday/Friday. Fuck. I have stuff that HAS to get done today.
I went to a women's college; we frequently had to correct those who called it a "girls' school". It was nice having the entire student government young women, everything was geared to women. (And the infirmary had stirrups permanently attached to the examining tables. THAT will freak out a guy!)
Oh, I also meant to send so much ~ma to Lucy and brenda.
Thanks, guys. I'm trying to not think about things too much.
I hope you feel better as the days goes on, hon.
dog~ma for Lucy and brenda.
vw, ouch! Ugh, I'm sorry this is kicking in again.
Well, as my chiro said this morning, "You need to remember this was a serious injury, and you need to treat yourself as such."
I suck at that.
I'm so pathetic. I'm trying to get ahold of CBD to see if he could come work from my place today. It's just that it's really hard to take care of two dogs (one who is pretty high-maintenance) when I feel this poorly.
My dad uses "female" as a noun. Which is correct according to the dictionary, but always rings SO condescending to me. And recently my sort-of boss (the mean one) decided to add that to our house style -- "female" and "male" as nouns.
Yes, it bugs.
Ladies don't sweat, they glisten
Or the famed “Horses sweat, men perspire, women only glow” Which I hear in a “genteel” southern accent in my head (a la Blanche Deveraux)

Doesn’t make it any less insulting to the women. And I’ll bet that some guy came up with it without consulting the women.
