today is woman's day.
and it's dark and dreary.
(i'd crack a joke here about God sooo being male, but i'm pretty sure a few of my readers will find that in bad taste, so i won't. anyway, a joke like that wouldn't be true in the least.)
i'm actually happy today about being a woman.
i look around and i see that we have come a looong way.
although we're not completely equal to men (thanks to the awful minority of pigs out there - we may even be a bit more superior. lol), it's nice to see that we don't have to sit at the back of the bus or that there aren't men's entrances and ladies entrances (except for bathrooms - although there are co-ed bathrooms) or made to sit still while a man is talking or hold up a wall while waiting for that choice guy to ask you to dance and it never comes or even have to sit in the ladies parlor while our husbands go vote.
(heck, i would have been considered a spinster and shunned for never wanting to marry and live up to the "roles" i was destined for - mother, wife, doormat.)
i would have never made it before the '60s.
i'm actually kinda glad to be born when i was born.
and now here's a video from one of my favorite women.
i am: dolly
last seen: in a van down by the river, Illinois, United States
open mike: "it's the good girls who keep the diaries. the bad girls never have the time." -- tallulah bankhead
is: funny, acerbic, a filmmaker, a mad bad knitter, and completely thrilled that her NKOTB are back
