The Word Cloud

I am absolutely awe struck by the sensitive spot my blog, ‘To Honour and Obey? Bollocks!’, has rudely prodded.  This has sooooo put my world in perspective.  Here I was having an innocent bitch about my local conservatives, never imagining it still so rife even in modern 1^st worlds. 

Are women still fighting for freedom?  Hasn’t that been won!!!!! by us bra burners?

It strikes me that they are still many woman out there that are not liberated and don’t mind the fact. My mum was, ironically enough,  progressive in her thoughts, maybe I now take this for granted?  But I can’t understand why this is still so steeped in controversy.  To be honest I was prompted to write this misshapen blog by my driving frustrations and my need to commiserate with likeminded people.  It seems this is truly not what developed.

My corner of the world seems to reside next door to everyone?  I actually find that mortifying and totally backward.

Chapter 7 in Elizabeth Gilberts ‘Committed’ she quotes:

 ‘Of all the actions of man’s life, his marriage does least concern other people; yet of all the actions of our life, ’tis the most meddled with by other people.’ -  John Seldon, 1689.

Obviously, this needs to be put in context of men and women, but maybe I should just accept we are all one melting pot of ideas and beliefs and just leave it at that.
