Happy Holidays Everybody!

Due to overwhelming demand--well, one old friend emailed to see why my site had fallen silent--I am making an appearance today to wish you all a marvelous winter season. Peace on Earth, Good Will to Women.

"Good Will to Women"

i hope that isn't old fashioned dog-whistling - and i hope that if it is a penance in the form of a donation to the AAPD or the NAACP is in the mail.

I've missed your blogging but I'm glad you are back even for a moment and happy holidays to you as well!

Nope, Julianne, no dog-whistling. Just don't see why that phrase can't be used inclusively just as "good will to men is." Unless of course we live in a sexist patriarchy that considers women less than human. Oh, whoops.

Besides, there's women of color and women with disabilities, so wishing women good will is hardly exclusive.

Glad to hear from you Liz! I think of you often and wish you well.
