"    When we first read Stephanie Smith&amp;#039;s New York Post article, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m 124 sandwiches away from an engagement ring,&amp;#039; we were ready to join the chorus of negative criticism. The article brought feminists to their feet screaming that her project to &amp;quot;earn&amp;quot; an engagement from her boyfriend by making him 300 sandwiches was demeaning and detrimental to women&amp;#039;s equality. Smith changed our mind today, however, when she published a follow-up article defending her choices. In her latest article, &amp;#039;It&amp;#039;s a blog, not a &amp;#039;wich hunt,&amp;#039; Smith explains the origins of the project saying, &amp;quot;the blog started as a lighthearted joke between boyfriend and girlfriend. I presented it to the world because I thought at least one person would find the humor in the idea of sandwiches for an engagement ring.&amp;quot; She reveals that the project has brought her closer to her man and been an enjoyable experience for both of them. Smith sums up the experience in a way everyone in a loving committed relationship can relate to, &amp;quot;He does things I like, just as I make sandwiches he likes, because that&amp;#039;s what a couple does. These aren&amp;#039;t sacrifices. They are what you do when you enjoy seeing the person you love happy.&amp;quot; We get it, Stephanie, and we&amp;#039;ve got your back!
