I wish I had a feminist friend like you to discuss these things with

Oh, but you do! And you’d be surprised at how many feminist stay-at-home moms there are. There are loads of us! You are definitely not alone.

Ugh… I Hated napoleon dynamite too. I just dont see the humour in it. And I laughed out loud over the ass-a-leekie soup thing.
Also, I was reading through some of your archives and am really, really enjoying your blog. Especially all of the posts on feminism… although I like to think of myself as “feminist”, there are a million little subtle things I let slip me by that are making things worse, and your blog is really inspiring me to try to stand up for myself. I’m finding it very difficult, right now, being in a relationship that I am in. It’s a struggle every day… he grew up in a very, very traditional european family where the dad works and doesnt do a spot of housework- not one dish! ever!- and it’s been very difficult for me to try to adjust and evaluate things, ask myself how I should handle certain things. I wish I had a feminist friend like you to discuss these things with, but I’m already feeling pretty isolated as it is being such a young mum and I really have no idea where to find them… especially feminists who I have anything in common with, being such a housewife… all of the “feminists” I’ve met seem to have swung way to the other side.
Anyway, thanks for your blog. I visit regularly, even though I dont always post.

I thought ND was pretty lame as well. I remember seeing it and thinking “bleh” and then being shocked by its success.

LOVED the poem!

Hi Dee! Thanks for stopping by. It always warms my heart to find other Napoleon Dynamite haters. We must unite! Thank god the catchphrases seem to have died out now and I’m pretty sure all of the Vote Pedro t-shirts are now being used as dust rags.
