the first half of the feminist vision was to bring women into the workforce. the second half of the revolution was to intergrate the men back into the family.
suzanne braun levine:

dating a man, is as excruciating as a root canal & as delicious as well.. a chocolate cake. now, there are things about being with obasuyi that are such a delight: the constantness of companionship that wraps my being. the fuzziness and deliriousness of the touch. the playfulness & sensuality of
coming together. the possibility of communion-ness.
the breaking of bread.

i'm realizing to my dismay(!), i know absolutely nothing about men. it's not that dating for me is new. i've been doing this for a very long time. yet, when i look at this man, im speechless and at loss. because inasmuch as i pride myself in knowing,i realize, chica, i know nothing.

& as we continue flowering into another month of knowingness, i hold myself real tight not to run as fast as i can, away from this teacher in the flesh. i am so tempted to do so: fleeing. & yet, i am tired and my feet are weary.

so, how long, can i keep running?
not long, they answer...not long.
