History of Feminism

Before he passed, my husband and I would both cut the grass -- when the lawnmower broke, he called me at work to tell him what to do.

When the furnace didn't work, he called me at work to tell him what to do.

When a light needed rewired, it was me up on the ladder.

When snow needed shoveled, I was out there shoveling.

I changed my own oil... he changed his own oil.

Whoever was hungry would cook.



*Except leaky faucets, I called a plumber. And scheduled the plumber. And paid the plumber.

I know plenty of other women who do these things. Hell, it was my mother who taught me how to change a tire back in 1981. And how to patch drywall. And how to hang a chandelier. Dad was there, it just wasn't he who did those kinds of things.

If you don't know women who do these things, you must live under a rock.
