Totally didn't even realize that I haven't updated for three weeks. When not dealing with school, life or other sundry stresses, I've been avoiding 'em. Been a roller coaster and a half and I'm just exhausted. Finals are in two weeks, so all the end of term stuff is piling on now. (research work + school work+the term paper that I'm avoiding. Need lots of sleep. Losing my voice again, and coughing/sneezing/the usual-had to miss my first youth group event in ages 'cause of it.) Nothing new, just out of it. Though got a shiny new tv, on which lots of things look very pretty.
Went away for the weekend and got a fabulous soundbyte: "the Women's rights movement is one of the worst thing to ever happen to women." I normally respect this girl, so I can sort of see where she's coming from, but it just made me shake my head, so I pointed out that she probably wouldn't be able to go out and work and be the economic provider for the household (pretty much a standard for girls in communities in which the boys learn after marraige) without the movement she so despises. I also should have mentioned to her that all the stuff she complains about (mostly sexual liberation and the like) were happening long before women's rights came into play. It's like the "all modern technology is bad" blanket statements-you can kind of see their point, but the people forget that that "bad thing" has had positive effects on their lives too (like indoor plumbing and the refrigerator) and it's really not something that you can reject out of hand. Though really, I'm having a very hard time seeing any bad in the women's rights movement.
Your fave generalization?
