Recently at my mother's house (reason #1 why I haven't posted in 2 weeks) I was having a conversation with my step-dad.Me: Did mom tell you what I'm taking next year?Dad: Nah, what are you taking?Me: history, required intro English, topics in English: women and modernism, deductive logic-Dad: *laughing heartily* Well that's a contradiction right there!Me: *eyebrow's raised* And why's that?Dad:

This week while looking at Feministe’s Shameless Self-Promotion Sunday, I read this blog: http://nicefeminist.wordpress.com/2009/07/10/25-reasons-why-i-am-a-feminist/It inspired me to write my own reasons for being a feminist. So, here are the 25 reasons why I am a feminist:1. Because I never want another girl to have to be molested by her step-brother when she is twelve years old.2. Because when

George: “I love you naked lady”Me: “I am not a lady”George: “You do indeed have a vagina”Me: ”But I am not a lady. I have worked very hard to ensure that people do not view me as a lady, and yet you confine me to this title on the basis of my genitalia.”To be fair, he really is trying. He always understands when I point something out to him that is sexist and he apologizes; it is very hard to

…is an AMAZING book. I’m about a hundred pages from the end and I can tell this is going to be one of the best books I have ever read. It is a collection of essays written by feminist men about “gender, sex, and power”. The book is divided into four sections and I must say I devoured the first one, “Masculinity and Identity”. The other sections are “Sexuality”, “Feminism”, and “Points and

I have a few books on the reading list right now and I’m going to be catching up on my reading a bit over the next few weeks. Just wanted to post the books that I'm going to be reading; and when I'm finished reading, reviews will be coming! Dreams From My Father… Barack Obama (I know it’s old but I wasn’t in to politics when it came out)The Audacity of Hope… Barack Obama (same as above)Lord Save

Call me a glutton for punishment but, at times, when I have nothing to do I scour the web with my handy dandy stumble upon browser for “conservative politics” pages. Subsequently, as I read, I tear their fallacies apart. If the article/blog/what have you is disturbing or intellectually inept enough it may find its way to my blog. In the wee hours of this morning I had the pleasure of finding this

So I was stumbling upon conservative politics pages just for a laugh and came across a blog post titled “A New Preamble to the Constitution” in which a conservative makes a “Bill of Non-Rights”. Here is the original link:http://www.theabsurdreport.com/2009/new-preamble-to-the-constitution/ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth.

This is kinda old to the internet, but it's just so disturbing I felt I had to share. I really wanna know what the people in the ad room were thinking. I know it's older/vintage but even pedophilia has never really been an accepted concept in the US.

So I recently was doing a bit of stumbling upon feminist sites, and came across this beauty:http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/08/and-now-an-important-message-from-rick-santorum/The story doesn’t really need much commentary; that was covered by the guy who received the email. However I would like to comment on the sudden realization which hit me when I read this. Why is it that conservatives

This is a long one, be prepared!So lately feminism has been plaguing my mind. After doing a bit of philosophical and critical thinking I got onto the subject (in my head) of teen sex. I was reminded of where George and I had left things in our discussion on when our children can have sex. He had won, and it’s not that I have issues about needing to be right all the time, but within my

Well, I've taken an interest this past week in reading up on some feminist bloggers. In doing that, I inadvertently came across this:http://www.thelocal.se/19392/20090512/ First, perhaps it would be best for me to explain my stance on abortion. I used to feel like abortion was completely ok, in my teens, because my mother had brought me up to feel that way. In my first semester of college, I

I am a woman scorned and hell hath no fury like me. I am angry. I am angry about hate and closed-mindedness. And I am angry that no one in my life seems to care. I am an opinionated person, and I can't be satisfied with only debating myself, and logic-ing myself into forming an opinion. I am compelled to know others opinions and to give mine to them. I read blogs because I truly want to know what
