Thrive to spite them

Sometimes I see on Pinterest stuff like a picture of a vintage dress or a vintage apron and a message "I'm a bad feminist because I like aprons."

Or something like "I can't be a feminist because I want to be housewife."

Which, you know, if it's your choice and desire to be housewife and like aprons then it's not anti feminist.

As for the legs - my legs are super hairy and it's fairly visible so I shave, mostly. Although badly and I didn't shave my legs during winter. Will doesn't care. But it's hard to shave them in my current shower set up. So I bought an electric razor and it's not enough to get it smooth. But I can sit on the couch, watch tv, shave my legs until there's some very visible stubble.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Then it wouldn't be choice feminism, would it? I thought the whole point of the choice was to retain the traditional as a choice. Of course the new stuff is available..it's feminism. Disliking the choice, as far as I understood, meant disliking that corsets were still an option. That's the only way it differs, after all.

Or have I been misunderstanding this whole time and misusing the term choice feminism? Whoops! Faux pas!

not your mom's socks.

cause me to leave my cave; noting taken away from the glowy box people at ALL

JenP - I'm queen of the cave right now, and will likely be so until this project is done - so I hear you completely. I have a friend who comes by to get me for lunch, which saves me.

You and I will get together next week for coffee.

Okay, having checked, flea, I am confused. Choice feminism technically does have more options. That's why it's called what it's called. I'm not sure what you mean by adding even more. Which others?

Right?? Those people who force me out into day (or night) light... or we mutually force each other out... those peeps are key.

I loved how askye randomly met a woman in a store, and they exchanged numbers and are going to get together. I aspire to things like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My friend made me have a drink tonight, which was a good idea, but I am still crabby! Bah.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So check this out, I don't really like shaving my armpits. But by doing that, I don't wear sleeveless anything because I am going to assume most people the US don't want to see my hairy armpits.

I needed to shave my armpits for a sleeveless top I got from Macy's and I went to Targét to get a shaver. I got the Target brand pink battery shaver and shut the front door! It is WONDERFUL. No nicks, worked well and didn't cost a mint. I feel like an asshole for years trying to use those Bic disposable fuckers.

Because books.

Those people who force me out into day (or night) light

I look forward to the morning and afternoon bus stop conversation with other parents for this reason.

I came up with construction and manufacture, both of which are too many letters.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"the series of acts or operations performed in the making of something"

"procedure"?
