Who Needs Feminism?

[seabeyond]

3. womens condition. i was at hubbys company christmas dinner. the man i sat next to

is married, with three young daughters and another baby on the way. he was talking about when daughters get older and said he knew all about womens condition.

what????

everyone is what?

womens condition. (how to talk to women, with their condition)?

anyway, so puzzled and not thinking i said

you know i am a feminist. i am really curious about this womens condition.

sigh... we dont use that word in this area. slipped out. du is a bad influence on me. there was quiet-ness.

never found out what he meant by women condition. the other three men verbally stepped back.... and the other two womens heads came up and intent interest on what women condition is.

we let him slide. christmas dinner and all.

still curious what he meant. i was sure to let him know, what he was saying with his daughters as they grow up, i did the same with boys. not so much about protecting a gender as a child.

i enjoyed reading our youths signs. thanks.
