Well, that module ended for me last Tuesday, which I was so glad for considering that the lecturer's views couldn't be any more conservative.

Looks like you're shaping the scene between Luna and Filia very carefully. Who knows, it might be the gateway to other stories featuring Lina's elder sister.

Evil Photoship Skills...what if Xellos and Filia discover your collection? Filia would be HORRIFIED, while Xellos would frown and go "I'm not like that! I DO respect personal space!"

Well, I guess you're one of the very few who don't fit the stereotype that Carlin was refering to. However, what he said really depressed me and made me wonder just how much suffering females have to go through. His description of PMS made me think that THAT might be why women are sometimes so irrationally angry and unreasonable.

Soo, you don't wear make-up, you're not obsessed with a relationship, and you're (allegedly...) not crazy.
And shopping isn't one of your hobbies.
...hmm.
...One Point Five percent then. Maybe less.

Seriously, you're NOT into shopping!? I thought all women were...never mind...

P.S. The Male Disease. What do you think?
...do I have it?...

Well, that's good. At least you're out of it.

It probably won't be a huge deal, to be honest. I kind of like the idea of them being somewhat-friends--though that's mostly because Xellos would throw a fit if Filia ever invited her over for dinner.

Filia *would* be horrified. Xellos can deny all he wants, but I've got the pictures to prove it: HE HAS NO RESPECT.

I don't think I'm of that minor a percentage. I mean, everything seems irrational and unreasonable when you're not looking at it from the person's perspective. Women are all very different. ...But PMS does indeed suck. And I do understand that most women are supposed to have higher threshholds of pain than men do--makes sense when you consider childbirth and all.

Deary me. Plenty of men love shopping more than women. My dad, for instance, owns more clothes than the rest of the family combined. My mother's never been a shopping fan either. I don't mind it, but it's not something I spend my spare time doing. I've got a purpose whenever I shop and I try to get it done as quickly as possible. I know there are plenty of girls who feel the same. Don't believe the stereotype!

HMM. Call me a hopeless, optimistic fool, but I think what Carlin's talking about with 'the male disease' is actually loosening its grip. Don't get me wrong, it's still there in a lot of people and all, but I think the increase in acceptance toward the LGBT community is having a postive impact on gay and straight alike. So much of what's he's talking about is from the fear of being labeled 'gay' or of being accused of not performing gender correctly.

I really hate arbitrary gendering of traits. The idea that sensitivity is feminine or that courage is masculine and that kind of thing. It's bullshit. Maybe if we all stop relying on self-perpetuating stereotypes then people won't feel the need to act so much in the lines of what they feel their gender requires of them and just in general BE THEMSELVES. I'm not denying biology plays a trait, but most of gender is SO socially created in my book.
