I feel a little like my hard-won feminism was called into question today. Maybe I've just been too quiet about it recently. I haven't felt the need to go marching in a while. However, I didn't spend years being mocked about whether or not I would let a man hold the door open for me (and countless classes standing up to the men who thought I should go back to the kitchen) to have my dedication to the "cause" questioned.

Oh well. I know what I believe, and I suppose that's good enough.

On the upside, the potentially two-day meeting finished in one! It was very productive and good. No one left the room in tears, no one insulted each other, eye-rolls were kept to a minimum (mostly), and there was no repetition of useless fights. All in all, not a bad meeting. And now I have all day tomorrow to write my paper and study for my midterms, which is about one day less than I need, but much better then what I thought I'd get.
