There was lots of excitement going on over the long weekend. Here is but a sample:
- Women in Lebanon rejoiced late last week when the Ayatollah announced women were allowed to pray while wearing nail polish. OPI, I hope you’ve bumped up your production levels.
- Guess what? An NDP candidate in Nova Scotia has breasts! But the Liberal party there think this is a scandal worth circulating.
- Midwives in British Columbia (all 140 of them) who receive special additional training will now be able to perform more services for their clients, including doing acupuncture and assisting doctors with cesarean sections.
- If you’re a lady lawyer ready to return to the workforce after having kids, good luck finding work! But things may be looking up for you if you happen to live in Ontario.
- Researchers at the University of Denver conducted a study for eight years on 218 couples and found that 90% of them experienced marital disatisfaction after the birth of a child. A study in 2006 of a whopping 13,000 respondents indicated parents suffer more from depression that child-free folks. Chances of getting someone upset by admitting that parenthood isn’t the be-all and end-all of your life: 100%.Scientists get excited about finding another way for us to lose weight while sitting on our asses.
- Women getting into sports: man quakes in his boots.
- I’ve had to eat my words: Feminist Law Professors drew to my attention that a judge in New York recently found pole dancing to be an “art,” due to the skill (dancers come from backgrounds in jazz, ballet, gymnastics and exotic dance), psychology of dance, and creativity involved in choreographing and performing pole dancing. I actually don’t have anything sarcastic to say in return.
