| sexism and feminism facing today's women | | Do you think "women's rights" have made great strides in the United States and around the world or do you think that it is more or less talking points?

On the plus side, women are able to go into a bank and open an account with out the need to be married to a man. More jobs are open to women, especially those that were considered traditionally men's professions in the past. Women have more freedom in how they dress, they can wear denim pants if they feel like it.
*
On the minus side, women still earn less than men on the average and face a harder climb to the top of the 'corporate ladder' than do men. Sexism, while not so blatant as it was in the past, is still an un-friend women live with on a daily basis. Body image or lack of it plagues women in numbers never seen in the past as they dress in the more form fitting unisex clothing of today.

| | wrong child? | | if you have children, did you ever feel that you got the wrong one?
i don't mean like they were switched at birth or anything, more a case of the wrong sex.when i was pregnant, i told anyone who asked that i wasn't bothered if i had a boy or a girl, so long as they were healthy and this was true in a sence, but i most definately had my heart set on a girl!throughout my pregnancy, i truely believed i was carrying a girl, i only chose a girls name, but i did buy unisex clothing (no pink or blue).as it worked out, i had a son, i actually felt somewhat cheated, and had to think fast as to what i could call him as katarina just wouldn't go down to well as he got older...i love him dearly of course, and wouldn't actually change him for the world, but truely, have you ever felt like you have the wrong child? | |
