"I need all the help I can get, so dads grab a glove and get on the field. And moms, I need a team mom." To me, everything pretty much wrong in my world leads back to this sentence. My mother raised me to be a strong independent woman and I really want to raise my two kids to know no gender boundaries. I can play ball and drink a beer (ok, maybe not the drinking) as well as any of the out of shape dads sitting on the sidelines. I can tell you what 6-4-3 is, and what an infield fly is. Furthermore, if those same dads would be a little more organized and motherly in their roles as dads the world would be a better place.
Women fought hard for the right to vote and thought that it was a victory when they began working outside of the home. Me, I wonder how my life is better than that of my grandmother's. I have the same responsibilities as a stay at home mom, and a working woman. My husband? Nah.
