This weekend, I saw a letter to the editors that was basically a “women should be kept in their place” sort of deal with a twist. Apparently when women don’t stay barefoot in the kitchen, they are becoming tools to evil men in the world who are attempting to overthrow the traditional family.
When I get irritated with these things, sometimes I will sit down and write out a letter to burn off steam. Usually, I don’t send these letters out, but this time I did. And here it is, if you care to read it. I realize it will not do anything to sway the original letter writer, but it sure made me feel better.
I also blog at Engineer Blogs, home away from home to some of the best engineering blogs.
