Maybe modern women think the feminists are a bunch of harpies and want to have nothing to do with them.
I worked at a mortgage company in the mid-1970’s and they were just beginning to use Ms, LOL.
The big debate was: should we used a period at the end.
Some customers would write back requesting that we use Mrs. There was much anger because those bra-burners were forcing stuff on the rest of us.
Amen. If I read the words "feminist", "feminism", "feminist studies" anymore I'm going to make that barf alert come true. Nobody in the real word uses those words. They are the vernacular of left wing college professors and media wobbleheads. You don't hear that kind of talk anywhere else. Thank goodness.
My thoughts exactly. What femininity???
It will earn you big brownie points.
LOL.
Good advice, right out of "The Husband's Handbook", Chapter 4, Paragraph 6, Subparagraph 6.14, List Item C.
That book has worked well for me, coming up on 41 years of marriage.
LOL!
Just find the most the most used bathroom and let it soak for a week in the sink.
I agree. My identity isn't so fragile that it's going to be damaged by being called "girl" instead of "woman."
I did skim the rest of the article. She quoted one young female as saying "we're afraid to be women." I think "afraid to be grown-ups" would be more accurate.
***And “Ms.” Just calligraphied some shower invites (for a friend) and I was told to use Miss or Mrs....as no one uses Ms. anymore. Whatev!***
Good to hear. But it will always be Ms. in the business world. There is NO way firms are going to rev up the computer lists and change the Ms. to Mrs., especially when they don’t even know who is which.
UGH! I don’t know which is worse? You posting that picture here or the fact you have that picture available to post at all.
What you should do is joke around with women that laugh real loud in a foreign country. Down the busiest street you can find. And everybody blows their horns. Tell your sweetheart to wiggle her ass. You can safely cross the street at that time.
Don't count on it. For one thing, I lost my Katharine Hepburn brownie recipe and she's dead so I can't get it again. Secondly, my glasses get steamed up when I open the oven.
I don’t understand that.
Yup. Neurotic as heck.

QUOTING THE ARTICLE:
...and were ready to pounce on any guy who didn't go along with us so we could reveal him to be the male chauvinist that he was.
*******
There seems to be a flat-lined learning curve here...
These chicks were so busy being assertive, intelligentsia-chic, poltically-correct and in-your-face--permanently angry/b*tchy/PMS-stressed....
They couldn't get invited to the demolition derby on a rainy Saturday night...

Perfect! I am 38 and I refer to myself and my girlfriends as "girls" all the time...and I am in no way a "self hating, dried up old witch with an attitude problem"! :) (I certainly can be a B--tch at times, but that's not always a bad thing! In fact my personal motto is: "You say I'm a B--tch like it's a bad thing" hehe! ;D
I do it and I’m 51..I call my girl friend...I see my friend and I say hey girl..sheesh, is it a federal crime or something?
Hay lookie, I tried to apologize beforehand but y'all wouldn't listen to me. This thread was just begging, begging for that horrid picture to get posted, and so I complied .... I feel no shame about it. /laughs
LOL (Great tagline too)
It's not that she didn't know how they felt. When she graduated from high school, she traveled with rock bands, lost the man of her dreams and ended up with 32 tattoos and a baby. She went to work in a music store, started paying off debts, learned how to cook and is raising her little boy, now 3, by herself, with some financial support from the boy's father.
Making a life for herself and her son, virtually alone, forced her to realize who she was and what she was capable of as a female.
"It's not what I wear or how I do my hair," she wrote me. "I'm convinced it's that I carry myself with confidence. I don't feel like I'm the all-around perfect catch, but I've been through enough to know I'm a great mother, a loving daughter, an honest friend, a great lover and someday, I'll make a great wife. You grow into the title of woman."
YIKES!!!! Head for the hills, boys!!!!
If she was a car, it would be on a "buy here, pay here" lot.
You grow into the title of woman."
This is growth worthy of a petri dish.
She lived like a tramp, in all truth. She can tell herself what she wants now, but that does not change the past.
She's not beyond redemption, no one is, is she seeks it. All the other stuff is just empty minded fluff and I reject it on principle.
I married a Latina "Donna Reed". Real women still exist, and in America, mostly as conservatives.
My mind is just reeling from the way people can create their own alternate reality. This isn't "womanhood", this is a nightmare.
