I’d just like to go on record in saying that my last post was in no way meant to be a stab at anyone’s masculinity. I just needed a snazzy title. I can fully understand that there are some people don’t like Little Women, just like I can understand that there are men who do like it and women who don’t.

Also, the comment left on my pervious blog has got me thinking, and now I wish to change my question a bit: why is it that the title of Little Women gives a person (male or female) a natural wish to avoid it? When I first saw the title I thought it was hilariously funny… but then again, when you’re nine and stuck inside for hours on end while it’s raining, everything can seem hilariously funny…
