erika, is this the "Is this what we burned our bras for, you ungrateful girl children?" thing?
Gabriel: Are you trying to destroy this family? Simon: I didn't realize it would be so easy.
'Safe'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"We didn't burn our bras so that you would pay $100 for a leg wax!"

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Cash, you really should send that into their website--Jamie and Adam would totally get a kick out of it!
They totally would.
I'm back. My tongue is tingly. I have lots of gauze in my mouth. It was very weird to only feel half the cup from which I sipped milk to take my vicodin. Apparently I have cute little roots, so yanking the teeth went quickly, and produced teeth the dentist wanted to show off. To me. In the middle of the procedure. I said, "Have I mentioned, I'm squeamish?" so he stopped showing me. Thank you.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, except I know the only bras ever burned were in 1 symbolic protest(and they didn't get the permit to set the fire they were hoping to, either.) But, other than that, exactly.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I mentioned this on facebook, but I thought some people here might be interested too. Coldwater Creek is having a 75% off everything sale online with the coupon code WHH9159. Not that I broke my promise to stop spending so much and bought $400 worth of close for $100...

It's always weird what enthusiasts want to show off. "Look at this splinter I just pulled out of my butt! Isn't it huge?" "Sweetheart, go away!"

re: feminist gender gap
I wonder if the Rosie the Riveter women were disturbed by their daughters who were content to be limited to suburban kitchens and lunch with the girls.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I would say yes and no. A lot of riveters from WWII were happy to go back to the home and have their jobs retaken by men.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
At the end of WWII, the government tried to persuade working women to quit their jobs. Dunno what effect that had on this:

I have no citation for my statement, other than accounts I've either read or heard.
My lit crit professor made a point that I hadn't ever thought of in that women's rights or women's roles haven't changed in a gradual upward motion, it's actually been an upward moving wavy line. Early 1900's: very restrictive, 1920's: a little more open, 1950's: restrictive again, but not as restrictive as before, etc etc etc
