This is me rambling.
So I just had my Social Problems class. Right now we're talking about Gender Roles and stuff. Today we watched "Killing Us Softly 3." That movie really pissed me off!! For those of you uncultured fools who haven't seen it, it's basically about advertisements. And how women are turned into passive, innocent, vulnerable beings through ads as well as objectified. Some of the ads she showed really made me feel a little sick to my stomach.
It made me have an epiphany about work. There's this guy there who always hugs some of the girls who work there and the other day he kind of kissed me on the cheek. Seriously this is sexual harrassment. But I was thinking about it and it's just funny how if I were to say something to him I'm the bitch. But it definitely makes us uncomfortable (right Lisa????). So I have decided that the next time I see him and he does anything I will say something to him. Fuck that if I'm the bitch. It's not okay for me to feel uncomfortable. And he definitely is the type to think of women as objects. He's always saying how it's not okay for women to sleep around, but he actually says "women" as opposed to just generalizing it.
It made me wonder. Would I still be this confident about myself if I were ugly? Would I still not care about what I look like? I highly doubt it. My life would be totally different if I looked different. To most people the way I look is what defines me. Even people who know me still talk about how I look. It stinks that looks play such a huge factor in who we are. That really makes me sad for our society. People shouldn't have to care so much.
Okay enough of that. On another note, I'M GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!!!!! For the first time ever!! I'm so excited. Yay for February vacation!!
