...I think the dad in Juno summed it up pretty well:<br /><br />"Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with."<br /><br />I think that's it--we want to be loved for who we are, and we don't want to have to pretend to be someone or something else. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-76810705303002604732012-08-22T22:22:10.145-05:002012-08-22T22:22:10.145-05:00I think when you're in your 20's you want ...I think when you're in your 20's you want Prince Charming. Around the 30's maybe Prince Mostly-Charming. In my forties I'm okay settling for Prince Sometimes-Charming. I'm not sure what happens around the 50's. I'm also not sure I really want to know.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115002505324651653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-44532356717870016482012-08-22T22:19:27.147-05:002012-08-22T22:19:27.147-05:00Thanks, Eva.

The bright spot in the "legitimate rape" kerfuffle (for me) has been watching the outpouring of support from men who agree that Akins and others are ignorant doofuses.<br /><br />I also agree with you that courage is in short supply.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115002505324651653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-41267824271574119752012-08-22T06:59:56.230-05:002012-08-22T06:59:56.230-05:00I might if you weren't hogging all the hot wat...I might if you weren't hogging all the hot water.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115002505324651653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-74851868917876728392012-08-21T23:58:55.095-05:002012-08-21T23:58:55.095-05:00s'a pretty good list.
Unfortunately, I think ...s'a pretty good list.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I think "women's rights" always ends up being an issue because men still hold the political and religious and economic power. Specifically, old white men. Old, white men who don't want to give up one iota of that political, religious, or economic power. To women, to minorities, to anyone other than other old, white men. They're cowards. They think it's courageous to stand up for a belief system, to go to war, to wear powerful suits and talk in front of large crowds.<br /><br />You know what's really courageous? Yielding some of your power to someone poor, someone disenfranchised, someone who holds other beliefs than you. That's courageous. And I wish Americans understood that courage has more to do with trusting people who aren't like us, than with shooting them and taking their things. (Here I'm referring more to the old west movies than to any war stuff going on today.) If all Americans understood that courage means listening and learning from others, instead of insulting and dismissing others, we would stop electing people that think there is some kind of rape that isn't legitimately rape. frinstnce.PJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028687955957107957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-34472673450771544552012-08-21T23:49:11.055-05:002012-08-21T23:49:11.055-05:00Wait... you brush your teeth with hot water?Wait... you brush your teeth with hot water?PJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028687955957107957noreply@blogger.com
