I don't know why this blog has suddenly turned into a feminist rag. Perhaps it's because I'm finally reading The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan. (My favorite quote so far: "I, like all other women, thought there was something wrong with me because I didn't get an orgasm from waxing the kitchen floor.") But anyway, over at megnut.com, the personal blog of Meg Hourihan (co-founder of Blogger), it appears I'm not the only woman who's been a bit uppity recently. Check out her April 27th entry, and you'll find some compelling reasons to never say "...because that's just the way it is" again.

By the way, yesterday was my birthday.
