Are you as weary as I am of political ads telling women how they should feel? We're told how we should feel about contraception, abortion, and any number of other private matters. Because I have a rebellious streak (really it's more than a streak; it's all through me), I resent having someone else telling me how I should feel.
With many decades under my belt (and my chin), I have had time to figure out how I feel about things. Especially intimate matters. I don't need or want a politician speaking for me. I'm perfectly capable of speaking for myself. So when I hear that I should be outraged over one candidate's position on birth control, I want to ask "Are you talking about the missionary position or a different one?"
I know, that's really naughty of me. What can I say? Too long without estrogen.
Gem for the day: if someone tells you what you ought to feel, tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine.
