Ok, so I've heard that Pluto's been voted off the Universe. Well, no, not literally, but we've revoked it's planet status, CAUSE IT'S BEEN VERY NAUGHTY! Also, it's about the same size as several other celestial bodies orbiting the sun that we don't consider a planet. Now..Pluto still has a moon, Charon. I don't know any asteroids that have moons, but...I'm not a scientist. I'm guessing that astrologically speaking, Scorpio is supposed to revert back to being shared by Mars? Or is it? Maybe Astrologers don't need science! Fuck you scientific fuckers! Pluto's still in my planetary charts, and in my house of health. (I really don't know. I just made that up.) Here's my question though, did the Astrologers see it coming? I don't remember reading *that* in my horoscope. "And tomorrow we're losing an entire Celestial House. Please stand by for technical difficulties." As for the potential planet that's been theorized out past Pluto, please...please please don't name it Xena! Come oooon...There is still main Roman Pantheon left! I'm still all for naming a planet Vulcan, but I understand if too many people think Star Trek. How about Vesta? Diana? I read that Ceres may be voted back in as a mini planet, as Pluto will be a mini planet. I do *not* want to go into the particulars of mini planet.

kellinator's journal about the Forbes magazine article that the well respected neanderthal wrote posing that men should not marry "Career Women." Basicly the article points to flimsy "evidence" that career women won't have as much time to cook, clean, raise the kids while the Man is at work, and might just find herself a more interesting guy at work to leave her husband for. Well....all I have to say to that is....
FUCKING DUUUUUH!!
Oh, God forbid a man have to actually come home from work, cook his own meal, and watch his own brats while his wife makes some business calls, does some research, or works late. Oh, and by the way, so fucking sorry that having an actual job also means a woman can do something so amazing as decide a man is sorry, and walk away. Now, on the site, there is a counterpoint that while I'm glad at least it's there, it doesn't really do a lot. Basicly it;s the first person description of how this female career writer for Forbes is about to celebrate her 18 year marrage, "snuggling at a mountain-winery concert this month." In other words, she and her husband are very financially stable. I'm not saying she doesn't have a point to make, but she didn't actually refute any of his statistics with actual statistics of her own. She just used anecdotal evidence. And quite frankly, the thought of this woman celebrating her aniversary in a winery, when she didn't even bother to do a little research makes me kinda want to punch her in the cunt. I may just be bitter. A couple of other amusing statistics that were thrown in there was that these women are also less likely to want a bunch of kids, and that such divorces also lead to high amounts of depression, alcoholism, and substance abuse. That last bit actually made me kinda laugh, since...depression, alcoholism, and substance abuse also lead to a lot of divorce. The former fact though, pushes me forward into the next order of business.
reprobayt put out there a bit asking for the opinions on what his readers thought about Plan B, a retroactive birth control, being available over the counter. Personally I'm all for it. Some days I think I'm for getting myself an icecream scooper, and going on an overy extraction spree. That may just be the misanthropy talking. Here is a throught that I was given by the column that comes to my e-mail every week since I went on that Commie Pinko Hippy Wymyn march in Washington on Planned Parenthood's dime. Pregnancy, childbirth, and childrearing still takes millions of women out of the workforce for various amounts of time. Sure, I know, in this progressive day and age men get paternity leave, and many evolved souls are the ones to stay home when the baby is sick, and whatnot. I'm not talking about you good fathers here. I'm just saying that men generally aren't the ones stuck with putting careers, and school on hold for the arrival of progeny. If a woman's goal is to be the CEO of a huge company, she'll probably want to hold off of giving birth a bunch of times. And here is the double edged sword to that, and possibly the most insidious, and still widely accepted piece of shit social pressure still out there. Women as a general entity, are still assigned value by giving birth. Think I'm kidding? How many women do you know that were childless get married, and the first thing people ask her is, "So, when are you having kids?" Not, "When are you going to become a doctor?" or, "When are you going to write that novel? I mean, you're married now. What are you waiting for?" As a woman without children, I still get it. My Mom pressured me for *years*. My own MOTHER! The woman who taught me to be a feminist! She was ratted out by a co-worker to me as having said she thought she's have to sabotage my birth control! .....Da.....fuck? In fact, isn't that the key componant to the idea of the Super Woman? I can be a success at work, a perfect wife, and the world's best mother? That's a *lot* of pressure. Now I'm not mocking, or knocking anyone who wants to be a mother. And it *is* a strong biological drive. And don't think for one second that I haven't checked my clock. (Ok, I'm about to be 35....They say I can give birth later now, but...My eggs are getting older...hm) I'm just saying that women are not life support for wombs! And I'll be damned if the only value society assigns me is if I can, or want to give birth. I'll sure as hell be damned if I'm *forced* to give birth! And I don't want any of my sisters being forced either. What the fuck would anyone want to have a bunch of kids for right now anyway? I understand why we had to breed like rabbits back in the day when you might lose 8 or 9 kids to flu, and falling down the outhouse, but now? We don't need to have 5 kids to continue the species. Tax breaks for vasectomies. I'm for that.
*ahem* Anyway....
Plans are still in the wind, but I may soon have a child anyway. She's already 21ish, so she comes pre-ruined, but on the plus side, I don't have to potty train her. (Do I?? O_O) I'm not going to go into great detail here, because a) I don't know too many details, and b) I don't know if she wants her business out there. It's just a thing though. When you pick an apprentice, you got to make these little sacrifices sometimes. Besides, if she's in my house, there are so many oppertunities to hone her hate to a fine line, and maybe she'll strike me down, so I can return more powerful and all that.
G'night folks. I'm out.
