Recurring themes
I went back through the blog tonight looking for my favorite posts of the year, but had trouble deciding among them. I liked a lot of them, but almost all of them I’d write somewhat differently if I were writing them today.
Instead, I decided to pick a few favorite themes that I returned to again and again. One of the things that I really like about this medium is the ability to develop thoughts more fully and to have true dialogue with commenters and other bloggers. Thus, these collections of posts are better than any one on its own.
Gender and domesticity
- Vacuuming
- Your mommy hates housework and your daddy hates housework
- Division of Labor
- Marriage and compromise
- The domestic glass ceiling
- Cleanliness is next to…
Race and the school decision
- What we learn at school
- The call of the surburbs
- TBR: The Failures of Integration
- Segregation and Self-Reflection
- TBR: Shame of the Nation
Gender differences in children
Class and Privilege

I like how you organized and categorized. I might have to borrow this idea. But don’t worry, my categories will be things like “Posts about poo” and “Photos the kids will hate.”

Really great idea. Now I’m gonna have to go back and read some of them. I remember some of the ones on class really well. I was really interested in that whole discussion.
