Norse goddess Freya gives us freyday or fridae or frige doeg

From the Old English, Frige Doeg, and from the Old High German, Fria Tag,we see the roots of Friday.

Do we live in a male-centric society? Does the fact that the median male income in Spt is $31,000 and the female median income is $21,000 offer evidence?

Despite the feminist movement I contend that US society remains old-fashioned and male-dominant.

That's why you rarely celebrate or even hear about the Norse (north) goddess of fertility and love, Freya (Fria).
