I'll make this rant short because I'm swamped with work due to being out for school.
Higher education is such a mixed blessing that I would love to jazz on, but it will have to wait for another blog.
Aura's pet peeve #8, 9, or 10 is the use of phrases like "Femi-Nazi" or "bra-burner," etc.
As defined in my Women's Studies class, Feminism is not the thought that women are victims and men are monsters, but rather that women should be agents of change to remove local and transnational gender inequality. I won't hash and rehash why women deserve the same fair pay as men or why it is unfair to assume that as a female I can't wait to be a housewife and baby-machine.
I just want to clarify that I'm not one of those man-bashing feminists (until you give me reason to be)! I am not after female world domination and my bra remains consistently covering my perky little breasts rather than on fire. I am not the kind of woman to always shove gender arguments down your throat (even if you deserve it, pig) so please, at least attempt to show a little class and not throw around trashy slurs like "dyke" whenever you hear me voice a slightly more liberal (than your) opinion.
You're only setting me off on my other favorite pet-peeve- Bible thumpers.
But we won't go there. I can already hear you getting huffy.
Thank you for listening, BlogSpot. I appreciate it.
