I’m getting married in less than a month, and I’m not a bit apprehensive about the actual “getting married” part of it. My partner and I have been together for seven years, so I’ve had plenty of time to get used to his annoying habits (and he’s had plenty of time to realize that I, of course, have none).

From Carla Bruni pitting feminism against family life to the Queen of England’s motherhood comments to some Phyllis Schlafly wannabe on Fox News ranting about the ‘war on men‘ — there seems to be a preponderance of working-women shaming and 50s mystique yearning this week.
