5 things for which I thank Feminism:
1. EMPOWERMENT.
2. Ms.
The title.
I hate the "Miss" vs. "Mrs." deal.
3. Ms.
The magazine that introduced me to feminism way back in high school.
Made me think about myself in a different way.
A MUCH better, healthier way.
4. Not having to say, "I DO" to be something other than an "Old Maid"
5. Still working on the payscales...but it's a START.
So what do you expect me to share here? ;-)
About Me
- *jeanne*
- * Life is change. ** Born in New Jersey. (A Jersey Girl, but I don't know "What Exit".) I went to college in Iowa. (NOT in a cornfield, but close.) I was a New Yorker. The proverbial Struggling Actor in Manhattan, and surviving pretty well for 20-something-ish years (I *heart* New York.) *** Now I live below the Mason-Dixon line. (But I'm born and bred a YANKEE.) ***For awhile, I was an avid-almost-rabid runner, running WITH my camera much of the time. I have been experiencing some "aging ? and other issues", but I still doggedly clod-hoppily-plod my way through events, camera usually in hand. Now I'm even SLOWER than I used to be. *** :-P *** ** I used to help socialize local humane society cats in their foster home, and take photos for the website, but my Haven kitties moved to a farm in Virginia in May 2018. ~meow~ Awaiting my next incarnation, or not....*** I still have a phondness for photography & a recurring Flickr Addiction, so go see my photos!

going to uni for an academic reason and not the mrs degree (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lrJg8NMsFw)
going to movies or restaurants alone.
negotiating with car salesmen and getting respect.
seeing my daughter raised in a society that says she can do anything (tho there are negatives to that that she will discover)
having elder females to learn from
paying the check!
This is cool:
I was tagged for this by Nancy Toby at RUN BIG, but I didn't tag anyone, yet here are these great WOMEN posting their thoughts anyway! :-)
