Another example

Ok, maybe I didn't convince you of the unequality of life the other day. The loan thing might be minor, I admit it. But, even minor things repeated over and over take their toll. So, here's another example.



About a year ago, I made a donation to a local food bank. It was a little more than I typically donate, but I was feeling very blessed and wanted to share. I wrote the check on our joint account and mail it in, feeling very charitable and good.



A couple weeks later, we get a thank you letter from the food bank. It's addressed to my husband. And only my husband. Seriously? Yes, his name is on the check, but so is mine. And since I ordered the checks, my name comes first on the check. Oh, and I SIGNED the check. But the thank you letter comes addressed to my husband. WTF? He didn't even know I made the donation!



I will NEVER donate to that food bank again. I found another food bank to support.



I hate BS like this.

Tired of the BS!

I created this blog because I'm pissed off and tired of all the BS! I'm a woman. And, yes, I have a brain. It can happen and actually it does happen much more often than most people think it does. Why can't people understand this!

I decided to refinance my home loan. My husband knew I was thinking about it, but he mostly leaves this stuff up to me. So, I call a mortgage broker that was recommended to me to get the ball rolling. The male mortgage broker asks me, "so, are you the one driving this one?". Well, yes I am. He takes down our info and says he'll email me the good faith estimate and loan packet. Ok. I get everything today and what do I see? My husband's name on the top of every page. My name, when it appears at all, is underneath his What? Why him first? I love my husband and all, but I'm the one doing the legwork here. I'm the one arranging all of this. I'm always the one driving this bus, and yet his name always appears first. I'm sick of it!

Am I alone here? Are there any other frustrated females out there? Let's hear it ladies!
