ahh, that's better
I got a few things on the list done, most especially cleaning the pantry. We also have an appointment to finalize the wedding site, finally. I hope to finalize the catering contract this week as well.
I also am closer that ever to having a definite idea of what I want to do with my mammoth dissertation topic. I have been playing with the idea of a case review of hazing reports made to organizations such as the National Fraternity Association and police departments. I am envisioning a qualitative evaluation of concepts that arise out of the reports that are sexual behaviors and sexual language. This left me without a link to violence against women, however, something I dearly would like to include. But if I include in the analysis a search for language that is derogatory to women as well (calling each other bitches or pussies as an insult) I can at least develop the beginnings of a link. Attitudes toward women can be predictive of violence against women. It would be a start, anyway.
