Good article here that talks about Mad Men, the 1960s, and how much better nowadays is for women than it was (while obviously still needing just a smidgeon of improvement). Well worth a read.

Hmm.

If I was cleaning the carpet/floors with my hands, and a scrubbing brush and it was taking lot of time and was absolutely exhausting me, I would be happy to have a Hoover - although I'd rather have it not at Christmas.

My mom's favorite Christmas present from my father was a chainsaw. But then... that's my mom for you. And my dad.

I was just reading this article about why women like Don Draper (from Mad Men) so much. Is it because he's sexist and women long to be thrust back in the kitchen? My shocking verdict - nope. it's because he's extremely hot and conflicted and interesting. Just like women might like Mr Darcy but that doesn't mean we secretly wish we lived before antibiotics and the vote.
