Lee ... Poor Mandy "I am Woman, hear me whine" ... sez Then I posted a simple piece on Slate about a sociological study of the obstacles mothers who want to cook for their families face. In a pouty, quivering-lower-lip, oh-those-meanies they never even read my article ... yet this was part of her conclusion It's expensive and time-consuming and often done for a bunch of ingrates who would rather just be eating fast food anyway.

geez louise, R Sherman, that site should be parody but those females are serious! they are female separatists [ !!! ] http://aroomofourown.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/willful-heterosexuality/ "You see, so long as women are willfully heterosexual/het-identified, male supremacy will continue.

Good.Lord.
