……………..or rather Vat Vomen Vant is the coolest new blog. I heard something like this was in the pipeline, but such joy to read their very first post today. These women absolutely kick ass because their explanation for writing the blog is to act as translators for men. They are on some kind of crusade.

“This blog hopes to serve the purpose of yellow fish, which you can shove into your ear, so you can understand vat ve mean. If you didn’t understand the above reference, the first thing women want (intelligent women) is a well read man, so go figure.”

Link via a hysterical phone call from Y, who also confirmed that these women are in fact not Scandinavian.

I know I have abandoned my blog for the last few months, and I have no excuses, I’ve just been lazy and very busy.

But this link from Madman made me jump right back.

To quote from the story,

India’s female civil servants are being told to provide details of their menstrual cycles in a new job appraisal form.

Women in India’s sprawling bureaucracy have been angered by the new form sent out this year which asks, among questions about their goals and skills, “when was your last menstrual period?” and “give details of your menstrual history”.
