However, I found myself exposing some feelings that I have been harboring for a long time. Was I too honest, you think?

lastfeminist: Some food for thought.  I don’t think you can directly blame rich stay at home moms for the war on women.  I think that belongs to the politicians who believe they have a right to legislate women’s bodies.  I don’t fault women who have the resources to stay at home with their kids.  What I do take issue with are women acting self-righteous about that choice.  Just because you had...

Donors don’t just want to give money. They want what we call “personal discovery” that involves a give and take of information, shared by both the donor and the organization. They want to advocate, volunteer, test things out and be a part of the cause. This part resonated with me.  This is something organizations need to start doing more often.  So many times I will receive a...

It would have been nice if the article went into ways Social Workers can get into the political arena. Also would have been helpful if the author had at least gone into more detail about the stigma Social Workers face in politics and how they can deal with that issue.  I have talked about this problem before.  Very few HR recruiters see an MSW as being capable of doing policy work because the...
