Why is it silly to be into films or books about women's issues? We are women, and their issues usually affect us in some way. I think that it is natural to be interested in issues relating to women. That doesn't stop me from being interested in men's issues, one husband, 3 brothers, 2 sons, 2 grandsons and assorted nephews, so I want to know what men are thinking about. Sometimes, we are lucky and can pull out a little nugget that relates to us in someway when we read a book about a women's issues or a movie, and it might enrich our lives. I celebrate being a woman, and I think that is because I have been surrounded by men.
Barbara, I meant is it silly to state the obvious? I have focused on women and our issues most of my adult life.
I live with a man as I like to say is so boy. Being with him has a been a different kind of experience.
Thanks for commenting.
