Memory lapse

You know how you sometimes put something down somewhere, and then just can't find it? Or have a telephone number scribbled down on a piece of paper, but just can't find the right piece? I've done that with a blog post.

I came across a very interesting blog post, but just skimmed it, thinking "I'll read that later", but I now can't remember whose it was. I'm not sure it was one of my usual reads, so I'm afraid I might not stumble across it again. It was addressing the issue of how women of the "Sex and the City" generation (not quite my own advanced vintage, I have to confess) might need to adjust the way they talk about men, now they have boys of their own. I thought it was a really interesting point. The bit I read talked about how there is a generation of women who are comfortable being sassy, independent and man-equal, who have no problem teaching their small daughters that Girl Power is their birthright, but who might be struggling to help their boys, even as they crawl and toddle, to find a way of being men. Fascinating.

So if you're reading this, and you recognise your blog post, could you declare yourself? Even if you're not the author, if you recognise the post, could you point me in the right direction? I'd like to read it properly.

Now, where did I put down my cup of tea?
