Afghan Boys Are Prized, So Girls Live the Part →
I find this fascinating. Here is an excerpt from the NYTimes article linked above:
“There are no statistics about how many Afghan girls masquerade as boys. But when asked, Afghans of several generations can often tell a story of a female relative, friend, neighbor or co-worker who grew up disguised as a boy. To those who know, these children are often referred to as neither “daughter” nor “son” in conversation, but as “bacha posh,” which literally means “dressed up as a boy” in Dari.”

Yesterday a man on the highway winked at me. It made me laugh. Today a guy in a backseat waved at me. I waved back and we played car tag.
Thank goodness for silly guys like these who make my commutes bearable. (See also: having dance parties in my car to fun music on the radio.)

Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore.

Amen, sister.

Forget the Men. Pick a Guy. →
“Guys are boys who didn’t grow up to be men.”
“In academia, where I spend my working days, most male professors and students are guys, not men. … Guys are capable of swooning over a new writer they’ve just discovered, or of speaking passionately about some idea. They’re nothing but possibility.
That, to me, is a guy: possibility.”
