Totally Random Thought...

Seeing the ComicCon picture of Alexis Denisof made me wonder...

Could the Buffy/Angel comics be far more interesting if they simply used all the characters that Joss has killed and/or ignored? /only half-snark.

not all is well in norwie-land.

I'm very sorry to hear that! Here's a wish for better days soon.

Only equal participation in political, social and economical matters will see true equality.

Sadly we are still very far off on that. And it's not a "male vs female" issue either. I have no idea what FULL equality would actually look like, which is a very sad commentary. But full equality would mean a major shift in our hierarchies even on a micro level. And it has to happen in the home first and foremost I think.

I've wondered if how we view or value women's labor has changed since the "Industrial Revolution" ? Not that there was any golden age but I suspect there must have been some shift from a time when most families were basically agrarian (farmers) and less people "worked outside the home" because running the home/farm was the family business for most people?
