Gender roles

ok, this makes me laugh. Have any of you women ever felt a need to do something that COMPLETELY fits into a woman's gender role, but it's not something that you would normally want to do? For example, feeling the need to provide food for a group of guys just because you feel like that is what you are supposed to do. Or, sitting around with a group of people and feeling the need to take care of the kids running around just because isn't that what women do? you wouldn't normally do these things, you just get that sudden feeling that it's your duty. It's a scary feeling. Gender roles.....they can be a bitch.

The Donald

Another post on how attractive people win. I have to admit that one of my guilty pleasures is 'The Apprentice'. So i was watching the premiere a couple weeks ago and and after about 10 minutes into the show, they had all of the candidates lined up. Well, guess what I saw. THEY ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL! Some of them could even be models...it's ridiculous. It was just another slap in the face that people apparently don't want to watch ugly people on tv(unless it's ABOUT ugly people being on tv) and attractive people are more likely to get the job. Pretty people win again.
