You’re right about all those things women should do, but it makes me angry that I have to live that way. We do not have freedom, but instead we cower in fear before hateful thugs we’re not allowed to criticize. Welcome to the land of the free and the home of the brave.
What's odd is that I've gotten into the pattern and it's great to be free of the handbag! I choose clothes with good size pockets, and as a fringe benefit they tend to be comfortable and practical. (skorts, hiking skirts, casual blazers etc) Shoes are not decorative stilts to try to balance on....no ma'm. They're comfortable flats or sneakers. Life is better without worrying about makeup. Folks don't like seeing a few well-earned wrinkles, don't look at me! No more high-maintainence hair styles.
The purse and the panty hose.....they do more to keep women in chains than monthly you'know-what did when I was younger!
