We were discussing a lot of what is happening in the blogosphere with respect to women’s periods and like topics. As we dissected why moms and in laws act like guardians and keepers of […]
My mom made this comment referring to something she read early this morning. The comment made me snap out of my drowsy early morning stupor. Not because I disagreed with her, but because it made me fume with pent up anger over a generation of mixed messages.
