Hi! Yep, I recognize you... I thought I'd friended you back and now that I go check, I see I didn't. Or it didn't take. (Wouldn't be the first time: grr.)
If you'd told me 5 years ago where I would be today, I'd probably nod philosophically. Outwardly, not a lot has changed for me. But if you told me what this friend of mine would have done with the intervening years, I'd laugh a good deep belly-chortle and gently hint that you'd had enough beers for one day. :-) Looking back now, it seems very "him" -- for him, inwardly not a lot has changed, it seems -- but back then I wouldn't have thought it at all plausible.
(Personally, I think being a SAHM is not at all inconsistent with feminism. Feminism, to me, is about having choices. Not that I'd've thought THAT quite so clearly when I was 25 or so!)
Maybe we need those old friends to remind us of where we've been.
Indeed... and of how much progress we've made, if only inside ourselves. I think that's the coolest thing of all! :-)
