Blog against Sexism Day
That I should cover up my DDs and stare ruefully at the men who might compliment them.
That I should cry over my failure to hate sex and wag my finger at those who try to arouse my senses with their tawdry advertisements. (BTW, I think the linked ad is a perfect example of the feminist vs. post-feminist issue. And it's hot. Tee Hee!)
That I should decry those makers of saucy books, magazines, and movies that I certainly don't have hidden about my bedroom.
And I should somehow feel that a woman who works a 40 hour a week job AND takes care of her kids AND still does her own housework is somehow MORE FREE than moi? I mean, I'm going to likely have to get a real job here soon, but I'm certainly not going to pretend that I would somehow rather be commuting to LA and spending 40 hours in a cubicle than mopping the kitchen floor (OH THE HORROR!). Which I would probably have to do anyhow. Because I can't afford a maid. Because today's economy ASSUMES both members of a couple are working.
Thanks so much feminist movement. Thanks for blog against sexism day so I can rally against the hypocrites who would have women be ashamed of the very attributes that make them women and call it being "progressive" or "pro-woman".
And since this is also Tangent Day, I am thinking about starting my own website/online magazine devoted to my increasingly mad post-feminist quarter life crisis. And it might even involve cheesecake pics just to motivate me to lose my last 20 lbs of baby/college weight. Oh what would Amanda Marcotte say? (Probably nothing, but I can sniff for hits, too!)
