I felt so nostalgic for high school today! I was walking to get coffee and a group of girls in softball clothes were walking behind me, talking about ordering team t-shirts. I think it was the damp spring weather, too, that kind of smelled like a softball field. In retrospect, it seems so perfect.... spending the afternoon outside, playing sports, and just worrying about homework. Of course, I forget that I was completely intimidated by the upperclassmen for the first two years.

My friend Ellie sent me this Washington Post story today. Essentially, it says women are stupid. We are not sure if it is satire or for real -- if it's for real, that is pretty crazy.

Who is this writer?? I'm glad she's so confident that she is so different from the rest of us 'stupid' women. Wow! I hope she doesn't really believe this. And she even criticizes Eat, Pray, Love.
I know! it's crazy.
that reminds me - about eat pray love- I don't understand why people have been so critical of it lately, it kind of makes me mad.
It's a rather bizarre article, but she makes some valid points. The "Barak I Love You!" squeals are embarrassing from any perspective...as is our ongoing willingness to let Oprah tell us what to read and how to think about our lives.
Not all of us do this, of course. But it's weird (and sometimes frustrating) that some of us do...
That said, my husband's car insurance went WAY down when we got married, because of my great driving record :)
The rebuttal is great, as is the Q&A after that. She claims she was "kinda" being funny, but it wasn't really satire, but it wasn't really serious, and it was kind of humor. She clearly has some self esteem issues that stem from being a woman. Sad.
