There was an interesting story on the radio.

A few nights before a couples wedding, the bride-to-be went out for the night on the town with her bridesmaids. There was a stripper involved, all kinds of other unholiness, and the future bride ended up cheating on her soon-to-be groom.

As a side note, that’s why I never liked the idea of going out and having a wild party before you get married. It just seems inappropriate but let’s get back to the story.

So somehow the groom found out and the bride said that it was her bridesmaids fault, they pressured her into it, she didn’t even want a stripper, etc.

The bridesmaids denied this vehemently and now they aren’t talking to the bride. In fact, they don’t want to be in the wedding anymore.

I don’t condone cheating, dishonesty, or foolishness but when I heard this story I scratched my head. Can anyone guess why?

There’s been a lot of recent attention to my post on Hooters. I’m not quite sure why but many of the comments have lead me to believe that people are unaware of the purpose of this blog.

There are websites on many different topics and issues. How women are treated in society is the issue that this blog happens to focus on. The fact that this blog has a focus does not mean that other issues don’t exist. Feel free to start your own website if you feel those issues aren’t adequately being addressed.

I don’t say that to be rude, it’s just that the fact that other groups are marginalized doesn’t have any bearing on the validity of my claims.

(By the way, if your comment was not posted it’s because you didn’t follow the rules.)

No, I will not eat at Hooters was written in 2008 and while I admit that some of my views may have changed since then, my views on Hooters have not.

That’s about all I can say about that.

I talk a great deal about not labeling every woman who expresses that women should be treated like human beings as some vile, evil, man-hating, hussy.

It just never makes sense to me that you can’t say anything logical without someone saying “oh you are a feminist” are rolling their eyes.

Women are not sex objects- “Ugh, you are a feminist”

That rape t-shirt is not funny “Quit being such a feminist”

That double standard make no sense “Oh you are one of those fembots”

But I just realized that I do something very similar, and it’s strange to admit it.

Back in June I shared a little insight into my fascination with pregnancy and childbirth. It’s amazing what information you can find if you step outside the box a little, and I’m surprised that this topic has held my interest for well over a year.

That being said, here’s are some of the most interesting reads I’ve come across lately.
