24. And that only a mother can change diapers...

I'm a field tech so I see a LOT of places (wal-marts especially lately) and one thing my feminist heart is glad to see is that in the large stalls, and most MEN'S rooms now, they have a place to change diapers, and sit (and buckle) kids, so that a single dad can BE a dad and look after his kids.

My chance to be a parent in a loving relationship has long since passed, but im really glad to see that attitudes are changing, however slowly, about met being able to take care of their own damned kids, alone, and that we don't NEED a woman to do that for us.

LOL who ever thought being 'allowed to change dirty diapers' would be considered a step in the right direction for equal right eh?
