Social Mistakes and the Historian
I had some people over to dinner tonight and we started talking about women and work. Some one brought up how long women with young children have worked - suggesting that it a very recent phenomenon. Before I could stop myself I had launched into a lecture on women's roles in families and how society has viewed children since the colonial period to today. What a smuck. Sometimes I wonder how historians ever convince anyone to date/procreate with them. :P

I'm curious as to what this lecture entailed...
Historians procreate because people like me, who love these rants, fall for them...
Sometimes people like it when we lecture, but just won't admit it. That's how I delude myself.
That is a good way to think about it fadzilah. Now I just to find someone too polite to roll their eyes. :)
Appreciate your bllog post
