Yes I have confirmed that. I don't know what I even want to write about today. I just saw a picture of Dick Cheney's penis and it made me mad. I like to think he's one of those guys that drives a large truck because he has to make up for something else, too bad he's actually slapping his knee when he walks, let's hope that thats just some bored graphic artists at work.

I just got mad in my Women's Studies class today and not actually at society, which is a change for me. I guess the department isn't getting like any of the funding they've been asking for which has been going on for some time. It honestly needs more professors too that are focused and good professors, i LOVE all the professors and talking to them but seriously i just feel like they sometimes want to cover SO much that we miss the basics or a lot of the general overview. It just seems like wow okay in Afghanistan women are treated like shit...whoah let's flip over to Africa look at Bush and how bad he is...oh my gosh Canada. That's seriously what it feels like and I'm mad. I just want to learn I want to be correct on my facts, I want to be so proud of my education and it just seems to be all over the place instead of in-depth learning.

And I didn't like when Tineke went on a rage about Sex in the City. Yes, not a great "feminist" show at all, actually quite the opposite seems like it still shows that women have to use sex to be powerful to feel in control of their lives. And samantha if she were a real person would be laying in a hospital bed dying of AIDS, but thats the thing, ITS JUST ANOTHER TV SHOW and she just had to go on and on about it. It's probably better than the other ones because it isn't classified as family appropriate. I mean i think it basically just allows women to watch soft porn without feeling bad about it and that's fine, but i don't know i just got really frustrated when Tineke was like really just yelling over everyone about how bad it is.

Shes been on a high horse lately and I'm just frustrated because I'm really into feminsim and i think she is turning people away from it. Plus I've been getting what seems like negative feedback from other women's studies majors when i say that i think we should try to open our doors to more men! Women, we need more male feminists, we don't need men to run our lives but we need their support and understanding and for them to believe in equality.

I'm just scared im going to have to transfer because of the lack of program and the amount that my heart wants to be in this major. I really do not want to though. So sad.

love molly
