I feel this is very important.

It’s been apparent to me for a while that most men can’t really imagine “equality.” All they can imagine is having the existing power structure inverted.
I cannot decide whether this shows how unimaginative they are, or shows how aware they must be of what they do in order to so deeply fear having it turned on them.

Yes.
This is shocking. It seems these last years away have changed the City.
In The Wall Street Journal, Susan Patton writes that young women in college need to smarten up and start husband-hunting.
“Not all women want marriage or motherhood, but if you do, you have to start listening to your gut and avoid falling for the P.C. feminist line that has misled so many young women for years.”
Ms. Patton,
No part of wanting equality among genders precludes committing yourself to a partner or starting a family. What misleads so many young women for years is attitudes like your own which pretend college the college experience is merely a mating ritual for women and that in their 30s they will be passed over like day old bread.
Good stuff to keep in mind. Once again, we are schooled by our juniors.

I am a big girl. A voluptuous, curvy, dress-wearing lesbian. I love my body; it’s the only one I’ll ever have. I eat a lot of greens and work out and drink gin martinis and put M&Ms in my froyo and sometimes I don’t do anything but watch Project Runway.
I am allowed to look sexy, feel sexy, and be in love. I am worthy of all of those things, and so are you. Own your good and bad, and all the scary parts that you’ve been covering up because it is yours and no amount of judgement can tell you how to love your body. In the words of Sonya Renee, the body is not an apology.
You are magic.
