Nobody ever suggested that my doing the laundry was special. (I rather enjoy that job, b/c washer and dryer do all the work...in fact the washer is swishing clothes around while I type this.

One has to balance and iron out the various stuff and by god, it isn't easy. Let's hope and in small ways make our presence felt and heard.<br /><br />I stopped by your place. Thanks for directing me there. Many congratulations and here's to many more posts and comments.S.

You are right when you say that many preach but don't practice. To preach, it is after all quite easy unlike practice and it an entire system that women are fighting against and it is not as easy. One has to find a balance somewhere because overnight nothing can change. And, the onus is not on the women alone but men as well and women who are programmed to think like men.<br /><br />Slowly we are getting there.<br /><br />I cannot find your email address. Do give it to me. I would like to drop a line sometime.<br /><br />Joy always,<br />SusanS.
