The good news is:
"you can be a feminist and like Sex and the City. Not least because if you're about to start letting political doctrine arbitrarily dictate which bits of the culture you respond to you may as well give up now and submit to the patriarchy. But mainly because the programme is funny and clever and it thinks women are important"

Book group was interesting last night we discussed Edith Wharton's, The House of Mirth, it was interesting to discuss with the Well Read Women of Dallas how generations later many women still let their roles and society define them. It was also interesting to discuss how women treat other women, that's the other reason I love SATC the great female friendships. I so miss my female friends at home and I do think that female friendships are so underrated in today's society but they really are so very important in so many ways for all women everywhere, the compassion, empathy, support etc you get from female friends is the BEST and irreplaceable.

Weddings and fairytales, this all feeds into the above blog. I think as many have noted previously the wedding is the day, make it fancy by all means, but you just have to remember the marriage is for life!
oh my. well i had also sent myself that article to do a post on it but jigs pipped me to the post on that one! i agree - i liked the article, as did my friends and colleagues who read and commented on it: i felt like i had thought about a lot of the things she asked, like do they have family or financial commitments/worries EVER? overall i thought was a really good article.
girlfriends rock.
Sorry Dhara! I was easily distracted yesterday and well today too.......can't seem to focus!
