Men who leave work to care for a child are seen as extraordinary dads. Women who leave work to care for a child are seen as inferior workers.

I have a professional job, have been called “shrill” and “bitchy” because I was forceful and refused to take shit from anyone, went through a divorce, and was a single mother who faced repercussions and ridicule at work when I needed to care for my child. I AM A FEMINIST HERO, TOO! Who knew? I thought I was just an…

Oh! That’s just like my situation! My dad liked *traditional name*, my mum liked *hippie name*, so I ended up with a diminutive of the first spliced together with a character name from a poem my mum once wrote (which was also the name of her cat). Stars! Just like us.

I don’t know about all this, all i know is that Sunday night I will be watchin’ X-Files with no lights on something something I hope the smoking man’s in this one.
