History or Herstory?

It doesn't bother me that history isn't herstory, that hurricanes are always feminine and that God is usually thought of as a man.

I can live with labels like Chairperson and Anchorperson and Postperson.

I can open my own doors and pull out my own chairs but if someone else wants to do those little courtesies for me, that's fine too.

There are many aspects of Feminism that I like but I like Humanism better.

I don't especially want to be a Ms.
I want to be a Me.
