blogging

It's been a while since I've posted here. There just hasn't been much to say-my summers are filled with boredom, not inspiration for posts about feminsim. I have a lack of contact with the outside world at the moment.

I have not budged in my political stance. If anything, I've grown stronger in it.

Celebrity culture pisses me off. What pisses me off even more is people who try to treat the symptoms of sexism, not sexism itself. What really gets me going is something like this.

A girl and boy (I don't remember the names) were two different sects of Muslim. They were in a relationship, and these sects hated each other.

The girl was stripped and beaten to death. And I cannot begin to define just how ill it makes me to hear about this utter crap. That girl was a human being, a 17 year old girl with feelings for a boy of a different religion.

Believe what you will as long as your beliefs don't infringe on another human being's right to live their life their way.

When I was reading the post about this-over at absynthemuse.com, a great website for young writers-I also found this:

Unlaced: the literary ezine dedicated to celebrating the power of young women and blotting out violence against women
