This site probably won’t be quite as inspiring on April 2 — though we love it every day of the year!

I really liked the “Feminism keeps my Marriage Together.”
That should be required reading before marriage.
In fact, like the author, when I was first married, I wanted sex more often than my husband and thought something was wrong with me!
I also really liked this line.
“Intimacy just isn’t possible under patriarchy. You don’t see your partner or even yourself as a real person, but instead you see through the lens of gender expectations”

Thanks for the links!
