the kinds of problems my friends and i have:
“lauren, has a font ever made you sick to your stomach? i just got an invitation to a “ladies salad supper” for all the women in my work organization and it’s written in the most syrupy font and i hate the word ladies and i want to be an equal executive force someday, even if it’s not this one and i want to eat steak and not salad and a font just triggered all my insecurities about ending up a mousy little housewife who is patted on the head and “allowed” at the leadership table as a token LOL”

(I had to transcribe this poem, because it became an immediate favorite the second that I heard it. I am over 70 pounds heavier than my boyfriend, and I have thought, felt and said all of these things before. But he is perfect, and we are perfect together.)
10 HONEST…
“In 30 years observations, Jane Goodall never saw one rape among the chimpanzees, our closest primate cousins. Though it’s not possible to draw firm conclusions about human behaviour from animals, Goodall’s findings, and many other recent studies, get us questioning the old myths we have about rape. One of the most persistent myths about rape is that male biology and primitive male sex urges drive men to rape. But current information indicates that rape is more a learned act of sexual violence that comes out of social beliefs that men have a right to dominate and control women. The fact that rape is learned means that we can work to change the underlying beliefs and eliminate rape from our communities.”
