"A woman is not born a woman.
Nor does she become one when she marries a man,
bears a child and does their dirty linen,
not even when she joins a women's liberation movement.
She becomes a woman when she becomes what God wants her to be."
-Learning to Be a Woman by Kenneth and Floy Smith

Talking about traditional gender roles in a conservative, evangelical college is a frustrating way for me to start my day.
Good grief.
