Yeah, I made my exit before I even posted in here. So it's all good.
What do I like about being a woman? I do enjoy becoming instantly more attractive just by proving that I can do something a guy can do. Or proving that I can talk about something guys talk about without flinching. That one might not make me more attractive, but it's fun for me.
And um.... yeah, the period excuse is pretty nifty. Definitely. And the kids thing? Fabulous.
By the way.... I've been appointed the femenist in my church group. In Sunday school this morning, we were talking about the Gospels. And we took this "quiz" for fun to see what we knew. And one of the questions was, "How many wise men were there at Jesus' birth?" The answer is that the Bible never says how many, it just says that there were three gifts. So they were talking about all the possibilities saying things like, "or it could have been 2 guys with 3 presents." "or maybe one couldn't come, so the two took his present with them." "or maybe there were like 50 and they all brought the same thing." And I wanted to know what the next answer was, so (jokingly, I swear), I said, "or we could go to the next question." And then the teacher smiled, and said, "I think Alisyn's tired of talking about the wise men." To which my youth director, Bruce, replied, "Would you rather talk about the wise women?"
And I said, "Hey! I just wanted to know what the next answer was! Oh, so I guess I'm the designated femenist around here." And then I had to turn my purse over, because I have a Rosy the Riveter button on it.... We can do it!
