My Portable Life

I wrote about this on my Instagram, but I want to write more about it here. I have made a portable life. Scrapbooking, writing, art, reading, etc. can be done anywhere. I have to move, on average, every two years or so. Having things I love that can be done anywhere enables me to have … Continue reading My Portable Life

Seven Benefits of Patriarchy for Women

Patriarchy isn't just for men. Women benefit, too. 1. We are protected. 2. We are provided for. A woman in a traditional "patriarchal" relationship doesn't have to worry about paying the bills. She also gets shopping money each month, an allowance from her husband. 3. I am convinced that with patriarchy, the s*x is better. … Continue reading Seven Benefits of Patriarchy for Women

Cutting a Little Sexiness From My Wardrobe

My husband mentioned to me yesterday that he thinks some of the dresses I wear are daring. Some of them, many in fact, are quite conservative.

Books, Studying, Panama

I have so many new books. I have one in depth book about the octopus. I have another with gorgeous up close photographs of plankton. Additionally, I have a book coming in the Victorian language of flowers. I would consider myself a Victorian housewife more than a 50s housewife, and I am always interested in … Continue reading Books, Studying, Panama

2 Acceptable Reasons For Divorce

The only two acceptable reasons. Infidelity and abuse are the only valid reasons to divorce. There is nothing else. Marriage is an important issue to me because I believe that marriage is the bedrock of the family, and the family is what keeps society together. I have been in a lot of mom groups in … Continue reading 2 Acceptable Reasons For Divorce

Bring Back Patriarchy

Despite what angry feminists will tell you, women in the West do not live in a patriarchal society. We should be. Women should not be drafted (something Congress recently considered) and so they should not have the right to vote. When you vote, you vote for or against wars. People who don't fight shouldn't get … Continue reading Bring Back Patriarchy
