My husband and I met at work. I started before he did on the job. This was a traditional 'male' job. The discrimination there was blatant and would have had serious financial consequences, if I had not

Serena Williams and other high performing women in sports use hormone methods to intentionally delay their cycle before mayor events. Thatcher was 53 when she became PM, so probably after her menopause.

Just upvoted my own blog again!! I could blame it on age, but I've always been like this :)) Yes, Old Westbury Gardens is beautiful. It appears in most tourist guides as a place to visit on Long Island.

I don't understand the focus on, or even mention of a woman's monthly cycle. It's true that for about 35 years of a life that lasts maybe 80 years most women have to put up with this inconvenience. I don't

This is obviously intended to be provocative, and it is, but I agree with a lot of your points. I don't want the same rights as men. I want rights granted to me without regard to gender. That's it. A neutral

Thank you @mayt and @topcomment!

Thanks very much for reading, @jayna. I guess you could categorize this as an allegory. I know it's not really pleasant reading, but it was something I had to get out. No happy ending here. Just life ;)

Ortega y Gasset! Names from my youth. I'll share with you my long interest in Spanish/Spanish literature. I studied the language through my early school years, took several courses as an undergraduate,

You have to read Unamuno. If he never come up in your literature classes (in Spanish), then your teachers are at fault. He is a classic. Borges, for example, acknowledges his literary and philosophical

What a wonderful coincidence that I mentioned Unamuno to you. One of his most famous books (more like a novella) was La Niebla. In that book the protagonist, Augusto Perez rebels against the author who
