Last night I asked him when he wanted to go back to his grandparents. His answer "When I can afford a full time gardener for them":D

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Ours was pretty much what you'd expect. We went to see this crazy show in the East Village - basically a campy version of Cleopatra -

Yes, that's a man.

Of course, we had to have some pre-Cleopatra margaritas.

Then we decided to go to the Macy's flower show, which was not what we thought:

And for reasons I cannot explain, the Easter Bunny had us on his "good" list despite all our debauchery and dropped this off the next morning:

Wait a minute...that's no Easter Bunny! -

Don't let the cute ears fool you. This is the evil phil-monster who won't green-light a trip to the world this year.

Annnyway, happy belated-holiday everyone!!

Yeah we have very different opinions on what women do and why we do it. I can't lump us all into a single dimension thought process. Being one I know we all dress differently, think differently and act differently. I don't believe for one minute that women do not take command of themselves anymore than I believe men don't take command of themselves. It is a dangerous over generalization. I also don't believe all men are the same either nor do they dress or act all the same or all share the same opinions. I'm sorry that you don't believe women are not standing up for themselves, I don't view this in women in life or even in this thread. I start thinking of all that women on this thread alone have endured, stood their ground and made some better lives for themselves and their children. I see women standing up all the time to be heard. Most of us have some inner strength that many cannot even begin to understand. And all this and we can also acknowledge our feminine side which is a God Given attribute all the while maintaining our individuality and core strength.

And now should I pull up a video of Helen Reddy's-I am Woman hear me Roar? :D

This has been an interesting exchange of ideas between @Goofyernmost , @StarWarsGirl , and yourself. This is a multi-layer discussion. My thoughts are that we are all individuals, no matter what gender we are, and not one size fits all.

I've often thought that @Goofyernmost and also @donaldtoo were ahead of the curve in showing respect to women, and teaching their daughters things like basic auto mechanics, for example. I never was taught any of that, and that's nothing against my own father or brothers. It was just the general mind set at the time I was growing up. Also, I wasn't the type of teenager to be interested in that. I was too busy trying to look pretty for the cute boys! Ha! :D

Times are evolving, and I think now that the younger generation of women are brought up more career minded which is great. I do believe, however, that the glass ceiling is still in certain places, for some women who aspire to senior leadership positions. It ticks me off that they have to fight to break through, and I'm sure some have done their best and failed. (Yes, sometimes even fighting for what's right isn't enough and that's sad.) What a shame; we've probably lost some great leaders due to that. In a democratic society, no one should feel like they have to fight for something, if they are of equal qualifications, simply because of gender.

No one tells me what to buy. If I don't like something, I don't buy it. Some women like the current fashion trends, but let me be clear: I don't buy something I don't think looks good on me. I don't spend money on current trends just to spend money. I make myself look good because feeling pretty makes me feel good about myself. Not because of popular opinion, but because I like it. I don't even pick up fashion magazines. I wear what I think looks good and don't give a darn about what everyone else thinks. If anyone thinks for one second I'm dressing for their opinions, they need to think again. That doesn't mean that I don't sometimes opt for comfort over style, but when I choose to dress stylishly, it's because I want to and it makes me feel good.

I did not take your comments as an insult, nor do I view you as a misogynist; in fact, I've come to think of you as someone who greatly respects women, but the topic is something I feel strongly about, and I don't think it's possible for you to fully understand the issues because you can't possibly experience them. In the spirit of keeping this thread upbeat and positive, this is the last I'm going to say about the topic.

I agree...I am about the last person to follow the trends. I dress for comfort over style, and I don't really care so much about what other people think. My MIL hates it when I wear a sleeveless shirt without a blouse over the top....but if it's hot outside, I'm not wearing layers and I don't care if you think my jiggly arms look ugly. I'm not dressing to impress you. I'm dressing to be comfortable. And if what's in style is not something I feel good in, or like I look nice, I just won't buy it...who cares that that's what everyone else is wearing. 2 words, people: Mall Hair. (google it)
Beyond that, there are some products that we can not avoid buying...they are necessities. Sure, we can buy men's deodorant, or shampoo, or razors...we can even buy men's clothing, though it probably won't fit most of us very well since our bodies are completely different in proportion. But, I defy any woman with my bust size to go without the support of good undergarments. I can't even get the pretty, lacy jobbies because they just don't make them in my size. And I can't just walk into any lingerie store to buy one...I have to go to a specialty shop and I'm pretty much limited to one of about 3 styles that come in my size. But I can't just NOT wear one, because OWWWW. And then feminine hygiene products....did you know they are listed as a "luxury" item? My friend on welfare can't buy them with her EBT card, because it's considered a luxury. Those aren't things we have the luxury of not needing, and there is no alternative male version that we can substitute.
And then there was the hearing about women's reproductive health in regard to the affordable care act...that didn't include a single female on the panel. And then we were called whiners and sluts when we pointed that out. It's not a simple matter of demanding what we want....it's changing an entire mentality so that our demands are heard.

Were they the front teeth? If so, wrong holiday! The 2 front teeth are supposed to be at Christmas so you can sing the song!
