Emily is Quite Conventional
I have to comment on your latest discussion on engagements. I was appalled at how conventional, and dare I say sexist, Emily B was. As a 68 yr old female physician married for 40 years, I can’t imagine my husband “proposing.” We are equals. It was a discussion. And we’ve had a lifetime of special memories without relying on a patriarchal proposal. On the other hand, my daughter-in-law proposed to my son. It was a surprise, but not a performance. Emily needs to get with modern times. And it’s pretty bad you have to be told that by a 68 yr old.

Though sometimes a little pedantic, the trio manage to talk about current events in an entertaining and intelligent fashion. Worth a subscription.
