Blog ideas for women...really?

So, I was googling some ideas for my blog and entered the search phrase "blog ideas for women" and this is what came up...

"ideas for decorating, fashion, entertaining, holidays, family, gift giving, shopping and more!"

Really? This is the first thing that pops up for that search phrase? I'm quite insulted! I mean there must be other women out there who think about more than decorating, fashion, entertaining, holidays, family, gift giving, shopping and more! More what? Why not just continue this with helpful hints on cleaning your oven or fabulous fun cookie recipes! Don't get me wrong, I love holidays and family and whatnot but, seriously, women DO have other things on their minds, you know!

Granted, as I searched further down the page, other topics came up but not before a plethora of mind boggling sexist topics that make it seem like women are still making pot roast while wearing high heels and a lovely strand of pearls. June Cleaver, I am not! And, the thing is, I'm not exactly Gloria Steinem either. I'm just a well rounded human being with deep interest in my community, my city, my state and my world that goes beyond how to create a festive holiday decor for the in-laws!

Conversely, when I searched "blog ideas for men" I got a list of how to's to pick up women and how to be a "manly man"! Seriously people, if that's the best you can do, keep your crazy lists to yourself. I'll think of my own topics from now on.

SHEESH!

I'm going to try and do this one. I'll start later today and post the letters here in my blog. I may choose to do them to "anonymous" to protect my friends and family or I'll use initials or something. Anyway, I won't use their full names. That ought to keep them guessing! LOL
