I think my lilcat is a genius!
I just got home from my anthropology class which I absolutly adore. It's amazing. Anyway, we were talking about gender and how it's more than just male and female and it's all about the environment we are raised in. For my own belief I think it is part nature part nurture. I don't think anyone is really gay or straight. I think we have tendecies one way or another and the society we are brought up in brings out or supresses one urge over another. Honestly, I think if I had been brought up in a society that encouraged homosexuality I might have had a few homosexual partners in my lifetime before settling down with a heterosexual one and having children. That's my belief though when I walk in a room I check out the boys and not the girls. I don't know if that's nature or nurture. Maybe one day I'll get a better idea.
On the topic of gender I've been thinking about what a disservice western (and many other) societies do to girls. I think males do have the biological potential (really small to be honest) to be physically stronger (thought if you have ever watched The Bachelor you know women are NOT passive ... whore maybes ... but vicious whores ... not passive ones). But I think having a psychological confidence in your own strengh has a far greated impact. Most fights really have nothing to do with physical strenght, it's all about how far you are willing to go to beat your opponent. For instance, a 6 foot tall male could be beaten by me and not just with a gun. If we were fighting hand to hand he might not be willing to do all it takes to kill me while I might be willing to take a pencil and stab him through the eye piercing his brain which would inevitably kill him. What's my point? That whatever you think about men or women think about your future children. If you were to have a girl would you rather teach her that she is weak and have her raped and beaten in a alley way one night because she was too paralyzed with fear to fight back? Just some food for thought ...
One a cool note, one of my little cats, "lilcat" is sitting ontop of the monitor right now and has been watching me type the entire time. Sometimes I look into her bright yellow orbs and think she is smarter than she lets on. Love my kitties!
On a personal note nothing new is happening in my life. I'm just going through the motions of school, finding job, eating, hanging out with friends and the rest. Life is settling into a nice comfy routine. I guess the one aspect of my life I'd like to change is my single status but to be honest I think that's only because the boyfriend/girlfriend problems of my friends surround me so often I just want to have my own story. "My boyfriend is so retarded ..." or "We had mindblowing sex" ect. Apart from that I'm pretty content ...
