Resistance to Categories March 21, 2007

What happened if the cat came out of the bag and people realized that sexual orientation didn’t change a person so fundamentally that they needed to be boxed and classified as ‘other’ or as someone who was so different they could  be stereotyped.
I remember an experience with my father when I first moved to residence. [...]

And You Say We Are Equal March 21, 2007

Yah, the feminist weighs in! Okay here I go… stop me if this gets to serious or intense for you!
First, what Ingram is talking about by offering percentages based upon what roles women appear in on television should scare you. I notice things like this often, like the shift work commericals for employment really calling [...]

Video Games – Not so Much March 21, 2007

I have beef with video games and therefor I am completely biased. That is my disclaimer so if you want something objective you will be sadly mistaken by my rampant subjectivity. My house is filled with video games to a point where they become the priority over EVERYTHING. I hate the Wii and the X-Box with [...]

March 19, 2007

I am avoiding… no I should say I am digesting what I just read and I am taking time to think it through… so in the mean time I am messing around on the blog. I must say this is has added to my procrastination for other classes. I am still so ill though, which [...]

I woke up one day and was boring March 15, 2007

I think I got boring over the years. I know that I am not that old but I feel boring. I seem to have lost my sense of adventure and I don’t think people like me as much. I don’t seem to have exciting things to talk about, really. I like rodents. Hmmm i think [...]

Sell Me Thin March 12, 2007

“In the magazines they talk about weight loss, If I buy those jeans I can look like Kate Moss” – Lily Allen, Everything is Wonderful

I remember in gym class when I was 9 some boy called me the typical and oh-so creative insult for a female: fat. It had never dawned on me before that my body [...]

State of Women Address March 8, 2007

I am bored and cannot sleep. I have to write something for tomorrow on where women are in the 3rd wave. Fuck off, that is the whole problem with the 3rd wave: we don’t know where we are. We have so many types of women with so many different interests and this resistance to form [...]

Music – Favorite Pick March 8, 2007

I really liked the different types of music that were played last night, especially The Mountain Goats. I must admit I don’t like Halliluah, but I am a Leonard Cohen fan. Very awesome class.
I think my all time favorite song would be Milk – Kings of Leon but I must admit I am a big Peaches fan. [...]

Freelance Conscious-Raiser March 5, 2007

Ignorance is bliss, no doubt about it. I have always been a socially conscious person, my father made sure we knew that the underdog was always the person we stood up for. I remember always being the one who stepped in on the school ground and sticking up for others, it was normalized in our house to do that. [...]
