Gender Studies; waffles

Good morning!  I’m working on an actual post for my actual blog; I really am!  It’s just too long still, but I’m hoping to carve it down to something palatable.

In the mean time, here’s my post for the Register today: “Gender Studies.”  I’m all nervous because I’m afraid people are going to think I’m saying that all women should be barefoot and pregnant and making waffles all the time, and all men should be swaggering brutes who ride off to war, or at least the coal mines.

That is, of course, not what I mean (although, waffles . . .).  It’s more about my frustration that women (women especially, although men, too) are constantly told to quash their normal instincts and strive for something else.  They’re told that they want what they want because they’ve been brainwashed — when really they want what they want because they’re women.

Hope to see you there!  There will be waffles!*
