Congratulations to all the women who are completely happy with themselves all the time. It's great that you're doing everything right. I'm sure you have very rich inner lives.

For me, being a human in this world is a bit more complicated. Of course a moderate diet with regular exercise is ideal. Of course we should be charitable and kind and hardworking and floss regularly and pay our bills on time and keep a clean house and read Chekhov and shave our legs consistently and a million other things. But I'm pretty sure that the day I actually managed to do everything right, the Lord would return and totally bump my big news to below the fold.

I believe that we must all "embrace our crazy" - we should acknowledge our imperfection and our pesky human frailty and laugh about it whenever possible. I think Ayelet's article speaks to the crazy in her life, and I applaud her for sharing it with us.

I have to respond to the writer who referred to the content on Broadsheet as "you go girl drivel." Have you read Broadsheet today? Which of these stories seemed the most lightweight?

1. The story about how a New Jersey county will not allow dying police officer Laurel Hester to transfer her pension to her domestic partner

2. The story about how the lack of world census data makes it difficult to determine how many women live in China, India, or 41 or the 55 countries in Africa - and thus difficult to assess their health, education, and economic needs

Certainly some Broadsheet articles highlight victories for women's equality, but to paraphrase my dad's statement one father's day when I asked "When is it kids' day?" - EVERY day is white man's day.

Again and again, it blows my mind that a legal medical procedure stirs up so much vitriol. To those of you who are writing with such venom - did you even read the article?

If we could pick and choose how we delegate our tax dollars based on our morality, I wouldn't be paying for the war in Iraq, the death penalty or the remediation of corporate pollution. But I would most certainly pay to ensure that abortion is safe and legal.
