I've had not-the-greatest few days myself ~springrain, so I empathize and hope that things improve for both of us soon. Usually they do.
I've felt like ranting on a number of topics, and I've posted a few testy responses. I *try* to keep in mind that 95% of the people here are men (anyyone got the hard stats on this?) so my voice as a woman counts even more. Most of the time the men, both older & younger, seem glad to hear from us. And I'm not bashing all young guys here either, cause I've been really impressed with some of their well-thought-out posts. But the stark reality is some men think of us as no more than a piece of pussy. Fine. I'll just skip over anything they have to say (or at least try to.)
