What About Men Who Are Feminists?

On January 31, 2018October 27, 2018 By Katrina3 Comments

The evening was warm, and the air was still.  The women arrived in pairs or alone at the pre-arranged meeting place.  Some chatted, others were silent, not knowing what the evening would bring.  I was amongst the latter.  This was my first time at such a gathering.  We took our seats, and looked to the …

Naturally Not

On January 24, 2018February 16, 2018 By Katrina2 Comments

I am not a natural nurturer.  Wait a minute, I hear from those who feel the structure of the world as we know it crack a little at this pronouncement - don’t all women get born with the nurturing gene?  Nope, seems not, but admitting that is akin to admitting a horrendous character fault.  Add …

On January 9, 2018January 15, 2018 By Katrina3 Comments

A man I had come to know, some twenty-odd years south of my age, made some moves on me a wee while ago.  I guess it's not that much of an unusual occurrence for this happen to an older woman.  Technically, I have no idea what was going on in this man’s head, apart from …

Sixty? Sorry, no sexual currency.

On January 1, 2018January 1, 2018 By KatrinaLeave a comment

I am sixty years old.  Yep, although technically I’m ready for the twilight zone to which our culture consigns women who age, I’m damned if I’m going there quietly.  It may make some people uncomfortable, but here’s a secret about aging – you just care less and less about the stuff you once thought was …
