While I was in Paris I came across so many women of my age and slightly older that were, to put it mildly getting uptight about having babies. I recently had a girlfriend after two weeks asking me if I had thought about kids ! OK, we had been out before, but, wow, two weeks. Suffice to say the whole "I think there should be love before talking about babies" didn't go down to well as a response because as close friends pointed out that kinda meant love wasn't there. Well I must say I'd prefer a situation where love takes the time it takes to sprout but that the "Oh darling I'm pregnant" comes after...
I came across a very interesting web site yesterday called "Dr Diana" a feminist blogger. Val (I call my parents by their first name) is such a feminist, that I now warn my friends in advance just in case. But hey, I can talk about it, so I haven't been that traumatised by the whole thing.
Anyway, Dr Diana answers the biological clock question:
The answer is short and interesting; obviously Dr Diana is clued in with the attention deficit prone society that surrounds her 😉
Take a look at her answer rather than me trying to paraphrase and do a far worse job than her (trust me it would be so easy)...
On the feminist front I'm pretty sure that the Dr Diana has used a pretty macho icon from our recent past, known as Indiana Jones, in her site's logo and I thought that was "forbidden" for feminists.
Each time I hear the word forbidden at the moment I remember the Harold Pinter play Lee (my dad) recently produced were the officer shouts "Language is forbidden". Not that using an 'Indiana Jones' type typography in a logo is forbidden...
So anyway do take a look at Dr Diana's site you'll like it, unless you are not really as open minded as you try to kid yourself into thinking you are ! Yes she uses words like boobs and talks about strip clubs, ooooh, yes naughty things and all...
