The Little Details

Two of my top three favorite movies are Disney’s Tangled and 27 Dresses. (You are welcome to take guesses at the third, just be warned that it’s not anywhere near that ballpark.)

Unfortunately, you can’t talk about motherhood these days without talking about feminism, so let's get it out nice and early: I’m not feminist.

I’m a sociology student; I know enough about different feminist theories to know that I reject them all on ethical and intellectual grounds. So when I'm pointed towards blogs like this and am force fed books like this in class I’m nothing less than repulsed.
