Words I have no interest in reclaiming for the sisterhood:

manhole.





I'm not going down there.

I don't care how feminist it is down in the dark, smelly, dingy claustrophobic tube of horror.


I'm not going.

You win this time, patriarchy*.

































* Just so we're clear, the running score now stands at

Patriarchy: 7,678,364,243,555,9876,123.5

Gigglewick: 3

I think it's a fair fight.

I don't think you need to reclaim "posted by gigglewick at 7:33 PM."

You own that one already.

Clearly, I do not need to reclaim "smartass who seems to have missed the point"

Also, there is rather more of this post now than there was when I left that comment.

Yeah, I just did that poll to discover that it has only a 55 per cent chance of getting it right.

Also, yes, clearly I am a man.

I agree. They can keep 'manhole' and the photo accompanying this blog!

Before having children I would've liked to see manhole renamed to 'irresistable portal to adventure for ten year olds'.

Now having Sons 1 & 2 I think they could be called 'portal of doom and destruction'.

And from a thought just to hand....

Are they referred to as 'dudeholes' in Anchorage Alaska?
