My friend teaches in the UAE. She posted this link on her facebook page. I scanned it and am so grateful I don't have to be stealth about my freedoms. I am grateful to live in this country, flawed as it is. I see how women are suppressed in other lands and am so glad that if our government even considered doing anything remotely like they do across the ocean, there would be a civil uprising like you have never seen in the history of the world. I once tried on a burka and couldn't wait to get it off. I'm not claustrophobic, but being in the full length black gown and headdress with only my eyes visible, I felt oppressed. I am grateful that my boys are taught that women and men are equal.
So, here's to equality.
Here's to freedom.
And here's to a Better Mommy Me.
