valarltdVarious fic ideas:
A world without textiles. Nudists.
Macho Merry/Pippin. Sitting round, cleaned up after the taking of Isengard, having dinner, smoking, snogging. Just doing guy-hobbit stuff. No toe-licking. Ewww.
Raging headache from a feminist parenting discussion that claimed women who didn't make enough to take care of their families were slacking and worthless. Hello, if I made enough to take care of a family, I wouldn't need a husband. (Despite loving hubby, I'm not even sure I'd want a husband if I could make it on my own)
Their arguments are the exact flip-side of the guy who said women should not be educated because if they are able to take care of themselves, they are more likely to divorce.
Both sides give me a headache, both piss me off, and both devalue the nonpaid work done in running a household. There has to be a middle ground between "One size career fits all, even when it doesn't." and "Chain the bitch to the stove so she don't run away."
Maybe I've been drinking too much diet pop. I'm very irascible.
