Death of Sisterhood

The newspaper The Daily Mail renowned for infuriating middle england with stories of maurading gangs, hooded youths, criminal migrants, benefit cheats, scroungers etc. has now alarming married women all over Britian with tales of single career women stalking their husbands. Apparently sisterhood is dead and married men are now fair game.

Of course I am generalising but... When people marry young they choose partners largely for their potential. Women give up work to raise kids while other women go off to pursue careers. Men don't have to choose between career and family in the way that women do. Call it a midlife crisis but something happens in later life and people re-examine their choices. People some times grow appart. At work it is more of a level playing field between men and women and friendships develop. I've also met the wives of many a handsome and charming executive and found them dumpy, frumpy and incapable of holding a conversation on any topic except their kids and Eastenders.

Last night I did 20 minutes on the rowing machine. Note to self: do more.
