Paradoxically...

The very person who is enlightened enough to smile at my stubborn toddler and remark that “A strong-willed, assertive girl is a fantastic thing to see, even if it’s harder on you right now!” didn’t consider that the “girl” in question might actually be a BOY WITH LONG HAIR.

Gender roles. We simultaneously reject and embrace them.

For any of you who are local New England-ers, I am participating in the 2009 Boston Arts Festival. The annual event, now in its 7th year, is a three-day celebration of art, showcasing over sixty juried visual arists. The festival also features live music, dance, and other performing arts on two stages.

Hey guys, if you’re gonna be in Boston next weekend check out my friend Dave’s booth (is it a booth?) at the AHTS festival. (Get it?! “AHTS?!?” See what they did there? Yeah.)

I can only assume that the reason this has only 15 “likes” is that ALL OF YOU HAVE MISSED IT.
Guys. ABSOLUTE SAVINGS.

Me: you know you have to take the pill for a whole month before it starts working, right?

Friend: what?? r u kidding?

Me: no

Me: and make sure you take it at the same time every day. and some antibiotics don’t react well with it, so check with your doc if you ever need to take any

Friend: this is too complicated, lol

Me: well, you could use something else, like nuvaring

Friend: ew, don’t you have to put those up inside you?

Me: yeah

Friend: no way that’s soooo gross

Yes, friend. Your vagina is soooo gross. Sigh.

She was raised in an incredibly conservative environment, and the only legit information she’s ever gotten about sex has come from me, and I’m happy to help, but sometimes I get sick of playing the “doctor” in the Yaz commericals. The disgust and ignorance so many young women express about their bodies is frustrating and sad.

(You’re beginning to see why I don’t want children, aren’t you? I’m already mom to about 85% of my friends.)

I suggest providing them all with a copy of Inga Muscio’s Cunt. If they bother to read it, they’ll feel very differently about their bodies when they’re finished. (It was only *after* reading this book, in my early-mid-twenties, that I stopped feeling embarrassed when I had to buy tampons, etc.)

And I agree with you, and say those things to people whenever I’m given the opportunity. Mostly, they’ve never given a thought to the disrespect with which they treat their own bodies. Sad.
