Mr. Huntress has been fighting against sexism this week, of which I am proud. He was buying me a Pirates of the Caribbean notebook in the Disney store, and the assistant was putting it into a blue bag.
Assistant: "Is it for a boy or a girl?"
Mr. H (not admitting it's for a 26 year old woman): "It's for a girl".
Assistant: "OK" (Gets out pink bag and starts putting the notebook into that)
Mr. H: "I'd rather you didn't do that, it's really sexist."
Assistant puts notebook back into blue bag.
And people say boys and girls aren't treated differently anymore. I especially love that the assistant clearly thought to begin with that because it was a Pirates related item and not the Little Mermaid, that it must be for a boy. Stupid sexist Disney store.
Also, feast your eyes on The Guardian's 50 Years of the Women's Page G2 special. Lots of interesting articles.
AND, somehow, I got 83 on my poetry assignment. I still can't believe it. It's shockingly good. Yey!

When Mr Cru and I go away they almost always give us two luggage receipt tags and put them both in his name, even when it is my name first on the booking form and my name on the credit card that paid for them. I figure the good news is I can smuggle drugs and he'll go to prison, not me.
