I am starving. And I have almost nothing to eat here. Because I have almost no money. Spending almost $100 a month at Borders has finally caught up with me. But it's so worth it. I have probably 3 years of books waiting to be read. They're all over my room, filling my closets, covering my desk. Some are new, some are used, all are waiting for me

Alexa, I think the difference is between being feminine and performing feminine. I understand what you mean about being offended by that definition and I meant to convey that I was speaking about performing a very specific, powerful form of performing gender. You are very feminine, definitely, but you don't perform it in the way that I described. Which is powerful in the circle that I run. I know that I am feminine (or a Girl) in the significant ways but I'm more comfortable performing masculine. The disconnect happens when I realize the power that is available through performing feminine is out of reach for me because I don't really know how to perform gender in that way.
And, Sarah, I agree with you about the difference in intellectual discourse. Being a women's studies student and a philosophy student my classes are all predominantly one gender. I feel more challenged by my philosophy classes than my WST classes because of the gender differences (but I also think there are huge flaws in the way we study WST, which is why I'm also not challenged).
