Why NOT to Marry a Career Woman

[rm]

Meanwhile, there is this appalling/interesting slideshow on Forbes.com -- "Why NOT to Marry a Career Woman."

I'll reserve my commentary for a bit. I want to see you all duke it out.


Completely unrelated, but just as much up my nose: Ugh, I hate when gender norms amongst reenactors bite me. I'm just trying to avoid having to make my own breeches, but a woman? in breeches? horror! I may have to make my own. Am annoyed.

Oh it's good. I told Perosha that she can poke me in the eye (metaphoricaly!) whenever she needs, and you should feel free to do the same.

So I'm thinking of doing a paper about Slytherin and Machiavelli for Phoenix Rising, but now that I'm skimming through the Prince again, I'm not sure if I was on the right track. What do you think?

I think it needs to be addressed, but I'm not sure how close the links are. I mean what you might wind up with is that Slytherins are what we consider machiavellian but aren't actually Machiavellian -- which is pretty interesting in and of itself. It's also hard to figure out because of all the incompetant Slytherins running around.

I saw a fandom rant a few days ago about house Slytherin House is confusing because it has conservative values but does not behave in conservative ways. I thought that was a misunderstanding of it, or at least one of those sloppy mappings between our world and theirs, but I thought the rant raised potential stuff of interest.
