I MAJORED in Women's Studies in college. It was an amazing experience for me and opened my eyes in so many ways. It also confused the hell out of me especially when I decided to be a SAHM. Can a SAHM also be a feminist? It's an incredible mind-fuck to tell you the truth, and I honestly don't think there is a one-size-fits-all answer. My personal perspective is a bit more spiritual in that I now choose to follow my heart more than my head. Often times my heart wants to snuggle with my kids and cook them an organic breakfast, and sometimes it wants to get all girly and go out and dance. And neither of these things makes me less of a feminist. They just make me a happier person. Thanks for that, Patti! I MAJORED in Women’s Studies in college.

I keep waiting for it. I minored in women's studies in college. Some of the discussions made me feel like I had to choose between being a true feminist and being a wife/mom, because those roles are mutually exclusive. And even though you avoid political discourse here, the reason I enjoy your blog so much is that you bust that myth so hard. Ooh, does this mean you’ll be profiling Amy Poehler and Tina Fey soon?

I stumbled upon her videos when I was looking up Amy Poehler news. Think we'll be hearing more from her. Yeah, she’s funny! I stumbled upon her videos when I was looking up Amy Poehler news.
