His mother
Ladies,
I learned something today and I couldn't wait to share it with you all. Now if you are one of the not-so-lucky ladies dealing with a partner's mother who thinks you are the worst thing created since the television (yes TV - some of our mothers' actually believe it is the devil's network), then rest assured that truly like they say it will come to pass. But before you can breathe that sigh of relief, here's my lesson learnt. "Every mother wants a woman whom she believes respects and cares for her son." Simple, now the question could be how else does she want me to show it? Apart from your expertise in the bedroom girlfriend (lol) she wants to know that you can cook for him, really cook for him. When you take the time to make those extra special dishes - she sees it as a sign of RESPECT. And like she told me, as long as a woman respects her son, she (mum, that is) too can relax knowing that she (you, that is) will treat him well. In my case, it worked! Yeah ladies, his mother and I are best of friends now and the world is truly a happy place for us all.
Until next time ladies, cheerio.

Women's solidarity
It is often assumed that women are often jealous of each other's success. They say we backbite, steal each other's husbands and all the other "meaningless supposedly insights" that men and even our fellow women throw about in regular conversations oftentimes. Phew! I know, that was one long sentence. Still, I feel like screaming "Eureka!" everytime I see websites like these.
http://www.womenintechnology.co.uk/it-tester-and-qa-jobs
http://www.nabfeme.org/about/how-we-operate/
These two websites are just a few of the thousands out there that women like us put out to help eaach other. Yayyy!!! I feel exonerated.
So if you read this today, in a month's, next year or whenever, please feel free to add some of those websites that we all can benefit from.
Until next time, cheerio ladies...

Men... At a loss of words.
Ladies, don’t we sometimes feel like we do not know what our men and men in general expect from us? Admit it or not but sometimes we are at a loss at what or who to be. It’s crazy.
We are the sweet mothers, the daddy's daughters, the big brothers' protégé...and yet we are still treated as sex objects…They see us and think SEX. You don’t believe me? Tell me if any of the following sound familiar.
I have my dreams, I decide to do something about these dreams, so I go to school, get the relevant qualification and then set out to bring that dream into reality, I set out to get a JOB. What happens? Employer says skirt down first.
I dress up; look at myself in the mirror and feel gorgeous, my self-esteem is lifted up, so I step out to get that job, the bike-man drives by, and splashes water on me. I get frustrated and yell, he shouts back with the one common word they always use to get back at us, he says "shut up, you slut"...
My partner tells me to dress up nicely for a date on the town or with friends. So I wear something that makes me look classy yet sexy (that is if I can find that combination), I step out and my partner is impressed at my efforts. Then we meet up with friends and after getting a few admiring glances, and being the perfect companion by smiling at his friend’s not-so-funny jokes, partner darling decides to frown all evening. We get home and what do I get? “Have some respect when we go out next time”, and as I ask myself what I did wrong, I get the common answer we all hear at some point; “you were flirting so much no one would have thought you were my partner”. Seriously?
I could go on all day on different scenarios, but ladies if you agree or disagree with me or even have a different take on this, just hit the keyboard darling…until next time,
Ms Goretti
