I keep trying to convince my wonderful boyfriend that he’s a feminist simply because he believes that women and men deserve equal respect.
My hope though does occasionally waver … like when he describes the problems surrounding “gender rolls.”
The gender wage gap
In Colorado, the average full-time working woman earns $9,925 LESS each year than their male counterparts.
Did you just blink? Or gasp? Or scream in outrage?

Beef
Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream.
I have a beef.
Prepare yourself for another short, feminist rant.
Just read this (Guys, Get Away to Winter Park-Fraser Valley — Area Rich with ‘Mancation’ Ideas) moronic article/press release about “Mancations.”
Really, people?
First of all, their “mancation” ideas include golfing, fly fishing, mountain biking and hiking. These are all activities that either I like or I have close women friends who like … and they’re good at them too, by the way.
Second, “mancation” … what the heck does that even mean? It doesn’t even sound like “vacation”! “Play-cation” works. “Stay-cation” works. But “mancation”?
Criminy!

Just a thought to chew on.
If you disagree and want to speak your mind, I’d welcome any comments.
