reviving
just to take notes on my life, so i can study for the tests.
themes- rising interest in/belief in the need for feminism, hatred of bureaucracy, and of Pretty Girls, and whiny men.
is bureaucracy the only way that corruption is made legitimate? it seems this way to me, i could be missing an example. they develop the system and also interconnect with themselves enough so that they can ensure their continued existence. a man can make a policy decision that makes his position necessary or of a higher priority than it was before-- but it's on the books, over the table! most social systems we have are so needlessly complicated that the average citizen needs to enlist the aid of a bureaucrat to navigate them.
and Pretty Girls. fuck. i knew them in high school, i know them now, they just walk in and ruin and leave and never bat an eye except to get something free. we talk about changing standards of beauty but how is this supposed to be possible when we will drop everything and run for a Pretty Girl? but i've seen one almost saved, i've seen beautiful girls stay good and decent, and i have a hard time sorting out my own motivations for hostility, because i know i am flawed that way-- which makes for muddled action.
as for men, i'm keeping all my sympathy for myself and the people for whom my happiness is a serious priority.
