little boy blue

You know, this blog is kind of like a series of little letters to myself. Like little tabs sticking out of my sad little life. These tabs don't actually have anything to do with much; but then, I have never been a good studier. Probably why I fail at math and science. No, I rely on my ability to bullshit my way to an A.
And yes. I am slow. No need to be mean about it. OH I have a good joke for you.

Knock knock!
Who's there?
Little boy blue.
(DON'T LOOK AHEAD. READ THE JOKE PROPERLY. TOO LATE?)
Little boy blue who?
Michael Jackson.

Very nice. Harummm.

So anyway, I finally have a new Topic Of The Day. Aren't you proud? It is FEMINISM.

Feminism is the belief in gender equality, not the suppression of men or the disregard for their worth in this world. We as females can be bitter and sexist all we like but all that does is make us seem like whiny self important bitches. No, we must be the bigger gender and rise above the years and years and years of female oppression that is still occurring, might I add.

A male friend of mine directed me to a Wikipedia page titled "Lesbian Sex Wars" after very seriously informing me that there were two camps of feminism; those who wanted equality and those who wanted to dominate the male species.

Um.

"Lesbian Sex Wars"????????? HELLO. Let's try to be slightly less chauvinistic please.

Right now, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, women are being raped and tortured and used as disposable wives. They are forced into marriages with rebel terrorists that shame them out of their families, communities and towns so that ultimately, even if they were able to flee the horrendous reality they now face, they would have nowhere else to go.

Support Amnesty International in its fight to stop violence against women right across the globe. Everyday, thousands of women and girls are abused, murdered, raped in armed conflict and attacked for defending women's rights, and Amnesty is working to see this changed. Also, check out the "'Super Agency' for women" article to be found on the Amnesty website.

I'd write more but I'm too tired and feminism is such a broad topic. Silly me to choose it as a Topic Of The Day.
