seeing bell hooks tonight was really, really inspiring/motivating/whatever. i'm really excited to write my article now and read her books. she had such a strong presence, despite being a short little high-pitched lady.
i also felt grateful for my relationship with brandon, because i don't think gender roles really affect us too much. i know that he would never tell me that i "think too much" and the fact that i strive for intelligence, education and somewhat ambitious [...as well as ambiguous] career goals does not intimidate him or bother him. he never makes me feel weak. and as far as i can tell i do the same for him. hooopefully he agrees
i just loved what she said about feminism and men. it really is sooo true that men are oppressed by this "white patriarchal capitalist society." i was impressed by the high turn up of men, and the fact that the majority of people asking questions were men. feminism is not just a women's issue, dontchaknow.
woohoo i am pumped.
