I voted against it! I've only lived in Albuquerque a short time, and let me say the city isn't exactly exciting, but today I can't help but feel a little pride in my new hometown. Shoved between two crazy states, New Mexico is one of the few places that women can receive this kind of care, and I'm just so damn happy…

Get them stretched! I had a friend who bought a pair of Frye boots on super sale, non returnable, online and when they came in the mail she couldn't pull them up her calves. She took them to a local show repair store and the store stretched them out to fit her legs. Amazing! And inexpensive!

It's a difficult thing to figure out. Yes it's important to find and recognize homosexual characters in history, and realize the diversity in historical settings, but twenty-first century definitions of friendship and love are so much different than those in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century definitions.…

I don't know if I get mad or frustrated at the women that take a leave of absence from my history PhD program, but I am very surprised at the response of faculty. Suddenly the student/new mother is persona non grata. Like they have disappeared. This is even the response of some female tenured faculty (some who happen…

My sister lost here husband several years ago to a heart attack in the middle of the night. I had known his since I was five years old and when he died we lost a huge part of our family.

Obviously everything here is New York centered, which is totally fine, but can we mention for a moment what this article said about Southern California. Nobody thinks twice about going to the mall in a bikini! There are more sweatpants than suits! Totally dude! And obviously everyone knows that the zip code in Malibu…

That's true, but Edwards is still the hero/ main character of the story and he embodies a lot of classic Western masculine archetypes. Sure Ford maybe wanted to show how absurd these character traits were by putting them all in one deeply flawed character, but I don't think David Brooks understood that when he used…

The Searchers perpetuates the Western myth of the lone wolf cowboy that is both vengeful and moral righteous (the same myth that is put forth by most Westerns). But it's just a myth. One of many that people use to tell the stories of the American West and the rise of the American Man. It's a myth just like the myth…

I think the main reason why the original fair pay act hasn't had that much effect on the wages of women is because the major problem in the 1960s and 1970s...even a bit today I suppose...is sex segregated work places. Employers could legally bar women from certain jobs because they were women. For instance women would…
