So Angie's started observing a Women's Studies class at Western and it got me thinking. One of the exercises that the professor had the class do today was to list 20 famous non-media men (as in they're not famous due to being a singer or an actor, etc.) and then try to list 20 famous non-media women. I'm going to see if I can do it now.

Women:
Hilary Clinton
Laura Bush
Barbara Bush
Nancy Reagan
Jackie Onassis
Eleanor Roosevelt
Simone De Beauvoir
Susan B. Anthony
Rosa Parks
Cleopatra
Joan of Arc
Marie Antoinette
Anne Coulter (eeeeww)
Condoleeza Rice
Geraldine Ferraro
Jennifer Granholm
Ruth Bader Ginsberg
Margaret Thatcher
Sandra Day O'Connor
Elizabeth Dole

Men:
George W. Bush
Barak Obama
John McCain
John Edwards
George H. W. Bush
Jeb Bush
Bill Clinton
Ronald Reagan
Al Gore
Jimmy Carter
JFK
LBJ
Richard Nixon
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Woodrow Wilson
Abraham Lincoln
Theodore Roosevelt
William Howard Taft
Andrew Jackson
James Buchanan

Now granted there are several women on that list who are famous due to their husbands' political careers, but in all honesty nobody makes it very far in politics without the support of their family. So there. I'm better at this than the people taking Women's Studies at Western.

Anyway, this falls under the category of "Kind of Shit That Happens During Patch Time."

Hurry the fuck up, Bliz.
