family gal

after mme Dati, look who's the latest to be in the family way in France now!

yes another French female minister(e?), this time the minister for the digital economy, is pregnant while in office! well so far the French are cool, no talks about the impending maternity leave being a waste of taxpayers' money, no conflict of roles, etc. - one point which i like about French society: chacun son truc, which means to each his own, as long as you are able to carry out what you have been appointed to do, on s'en fou de votre vie privée. seems a lot more sustainable to me, than in other societies where many women have to supress their true natures and carry themselves like men in order to integrate/succeed in the working world. liberté, égalité, fraternité. =)

on a related note, i think the two women ministers have done a lot more for feminism than the organisation formerly known as AWARE, who are still AWAY catfighting and possibly praying for divine intervention. eat your heart out, Josie Lau, for you and your committee's true agenda will be known sooner or later.
