For those who think I rant about the patriarchy and misogyny too much

57. funniest story... i asked hubby tonight if he wanted to drive

we went to a wedding and took my car. my car, i drive. i dont know anyone at the wedding, they are hubbys friends (clients). being in the panhandle of texas, we get out of church to drive to reception and i ask him, want to drive. nah, he says, dont need to. i didnt want him to be embarrassed on the whole male thing.

i am very competitive and had to beat everyone, really, i wasnt trying, just is. and looking at review i say, hey hubby, i am not the only woman driving the hubby. and you thought you were all that in progressive.

sittin at the table, talking to a young couple, i ask if she has a lincoln, too. oh, she does. but wait, that is your car? you hubby was driving. lol lol. she says, ya, we were having the same conversation of all the wives driving their hubby, but my hubby.... cant do it. lol.

betcha in ten years, he will grow up. but he was cute.

we were raised as people in our family, not gender. i was spoiled rotten by a father that wanted me to be exceptional, higher expectations than brothers. i am no more than the perfect of who i am, but it is enough for all of us. my mom didnt take shit from anyone. we didnt have that in our family.

the better person you are being brave enough to stand up to your father. i tell my boys, can you believe, can you believe in our time, we were raised and conditioned in society to actually believe we were not as smart, capable, competent as men. can you believe???? it boggles the mind.
