I meant to post this last week...as well - Professions for Women

I loved this article by Virginia Woolf. I idea of killing the Angel in the house is so wonderful, and I have honestly been thinking differently since reading it. I have always had this "wild and crazy" feminist streak running through my veins, but it is flourishing lately. When I watch television and I see a woman tell her husband to leave so she can do housework I scream and bitch at the poor thing, saying "Are you seriously going to live up to what your genetics and the historians tell you to do?" You are genetically a woman, and because of this you are going to do what is typically asked or expected of a woman? My poor boyfriend..bless his soul for loving me, but I am on his tail lately. Two nights ago I couldn't sleep, and I woke him up to ask him when it all started and how. How did women become inferior? Why were we ever suppressed? And so on. He talked to me and I talked to him...He's a great guy, and agrees with me when I talk about women being oppressed. He knows there is still a problem with even today's society and how it views women, especially wherever the media is concerned. I give him my opinion and he gives me his. I sure am not ready to sleep now, so I turn on the television and yell even more at the media for portraying women as "BOOBS." Women = BOOBS. Go to hell. What's with that? At any rate, I just wanted to thank Virginia Woolf for her article, and for killing the Angel in the house. I have killed the Angel in mine as well :)
