It's so disappointing that women continue to behave as if we're somehow in rival camps when we make different choices for our lives.  There's no one right way to be a woman; just like men, we are who we are, and no apologies are necessary.  The whole point of feminism is that we are human beings entitled to political, social and economic equality as well as to make our own choices about how to live our lives. Let's quit undercutting and demeaning one another and respect other choices instead. We have a much better chance of changing the status quo united than we do divided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't wait until you've read A Merger of Equals - there are so many places in the story where this theme is explored, and it will be fun to talk with you about them!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2221138341807378933/8401252371065709773/comments/default/6232289346892828202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2221138341807378933/8401252371065709773/comments/default/6232289346892828202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://megger1018.blogspot.com/2009/05/feminism-time-to-stand-together.html?showComment=1242667800000#c6232289346892828202' title=''/><author><name>Debra Snider</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15467694513460878293</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://megger1018.blogspot.com/2009/05/feminism-time-to-stand-together.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221138341807378933.post-8401252371065709773' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2221138341807378933/posts/default/8401252371065709773' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221138341807378933.post-2170670590249516622</id><published>2009-05-18T09:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-18T09:33:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Thanks for the post.

I'm thinking of getting involved at the board level for our local little league next year as well, since we have no women currently at that level for our local little league.

That said, they are out there. Just look at the girl from New Jersey who just last week pitched a perfect game against an all-boys Little League team. Unfortunately, she is looking forward to switching to softball now because it is only in softball where, she feels, she will be able to participate at the high school and college level. There have actually been a few books written on this very topic, by the way, so if you're interested, do a search on Amazon or the like. If you are in the Bay Area, try Cal Women's Baseball (http://www.cwbl.net) for resources. Best of luck to your daughter.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2221138341807378933/5879874245625156564/comments/default/3208347246182393492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2221138341807378933/5879874245625156564/comments/default/3208347246182393492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://megger1018.blogspot.com/2009/04/take-me-out-to-ball-game.html?showComment=1241390040000#c3208347246182393492' title=''/><author><name>20Tauri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13354581450672577927</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://megger1018.blogspot.com/2009/04/take-me-out-to-ball-game.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221138341807378933.post-5879874245625156564' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2221138341807378933/posts/default/5879874245625156564' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221138341807378933.post-402393103431368723</id><published>2009-04-29T10:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-29T10:39:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Thanks Donella!</title><content type='html'>Thanks Donella!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2221138341807378933/4378339613348360432/comments/default/402393103431368723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2221138341807378933/4378339613348360432/comments/default/402393103431368723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://megger1018.blogspot.com/2009/04/and-i-dont-deserve-equal-pay-because.html?showComment=1241026740000#c402393103431368723' title=''/><author><name>Meghan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00784012532707520826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00373166108488146157'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://megger1018.blogspot.com/2009/04/and-i-dont-deserve-equal-pay-because.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221138341807378933.post-4378339613348360432' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2221138341807378933/posts/default/4378339613348360432' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221138341807378933.post-7604301603026127818</id><published>2009-04-28T22:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-28T22:31:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Great, informative article.
