Yes, great points about Hillary and Martha. I can tell you for sure that neither of these women is a closet lesbian and they're better put-together than most American women. I think what I find most incomprehensible about that kind of talk is that, oftentimes, it's perpetuated by other women. That kind of narrowminded jealousy pushes women back farther than a month of Martha's bread making. I've always considered myself a feminist. I came of age in the seventies when it was cool to do so. It was harder in the eighties when the backlash came, but to me, you are what you are, regardless of the current political climate. I think being a female feminist (and there are male feminists, thank goodness) is a wonderful complement to my femininity. I love to cook, keep a beautiful house and tend my garden. These are complex skills worthy of honor, in my opinion.

hehe. forgive me, please, for butting into your invitation to box. it must be the kangaroo in me. now if III had written that post, I would have said "most men", just to clearly deliniate between what we have read and heard so much and those who don't think it. but I'm a fast typer and don't mind the extra words. It is now less of an issue that we have to deal with as women who are moving into previously little charted (as opposed to absolutely uncharted) territory, but it is still an issue. and as women move more and more into positions of power, the oppsosition may decrease in size, but it seems (italics used to qualify) to intensify. that is the way of things when a battle is being is lost. as a poor, powerless lesbian, I am thrilled that anybody's vision of what a lesbian is would be the likes of Hillary and Martha.
