party queen, if you want to be seen

Dear AP,

Crap like this is why independent media gets my attention and my business.

How is that important? HOW?

No love and no respect,
Me


Also? I love KPFT and Democracy Now, but primary season isn't even over yet, and I am already tired of electioneering and such. Still. So much love for Gloria Steinem debating gender and race issues. Because instead of devolving into petty bickering, the participants actually, you know, communicated. I can't think any new dialogue between the two camps will make a difference in terms of the Obama/Clinton dynamic - there seems to be too much acrimony between them for them to make good running mates - but still, it was nice to hear. Instead of mudslinging, y'know?

No, I went to Salisbury. There was no Women's Studies dept. There were two classes, one semester each, taught by the spouse of the history dept chair. I only took the first one, which covered pre-industrial stuff and went up to the ECS, Jane Addams Hull House progressive era movement without getting to the modern stuff. The second semester conflicted with a class that was required for chemistry majors, so I never took it.

I don't get some of the hardcore points of feminism at all. If we enjoy being women, why shouldn't we enjoy everything about it? There's enough crappy stuff that comes with the girl parts, so I'm making the most of the fun stuff.
