I am very very quickly losing my grip on the very little sanity I have left. Quite a number of my friends have taken to constantly asking me if I’m ok.* The thing is, I’m not ok. Am I meant to be? But breaking down over and over again is not going to help me [...]

Name Changing
Posted in equal opportunity, feminism, male privilege, personal, tagged random thoughts on February 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is a hot topic amongst feminists, and usually causes problems. The opposing ideas on whether you should ‘take’ your husband’s name upon marriage are often personal to commenters and therefore more likely to cause arguments. Feminists who have changed their name feel vilified by opposition to the idea.
I, personally, will not change my name. [...]

You and me, we have an opportunity
And we could make it something really cool
But you, you think I’m not that kind of girl
I’m here to tell you baby, I know how to rock your world
Blast from the past. This song was playing when I was buying dinner, and these words struck me. Remind me to [...]

This post is inspired by roughseasinthemed. Her posts always make me jealous, but now I have some gorgeous photos of mine to make other people jealous. These are from Sweden, but if wanted I can add the Germany/Rome photos later. Below the fold, image heavy (obviously)

ETA: I just hit bingo with my six. It’s only 11am. I hate this station.
Wow. I swear to a deity I don’t even believe in, if I have to listen to this radio station every fucking day for much longer I will explode. The woman next to me at work has her radio on this [...]
Personal anecdote with a feminist discussion point
Posted in feminism, personal on February 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
When I was a little girl, I got almost straight A’s. I was quite the little achiever at school, with little to no effort (luckily because I wasn’t interested in applying myself). My brother was lucky to get C’s, and when he got anything higher than that, he received praise and congratulations and rewards. I [...]
Smh roundup
Posted in Rapists, feminism, men hate you, smh on February 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today I noticed that the number of articles waiting to be mercilessly blogged in my favourites has increased to the point where it would be time consuming to do separate posts. So, today is the first ever whyimbitter smh roundup. Hopefully there’ll be more, but I may just give up on the paper before we [...]

Goals
Posted in Nigel, personal on February 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
About a week ago I had this great idea to write a post on my aims and goals for the rest of the year – A sort of delayed New Years Resolution, but more focused on achievements and less on weight, smoking etc etc. Due to life getting in the way of my blogging time [...]
Arguing
Posted in Giant Babies, arsehats, feminism, idiots, male privilege, personal on February 23, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I am a person who likes debate. I always have and I hope I always will because I strive on it. In my life I’ve only ever met one other person who could argue for as long as me without giving up or taking it personally*. Although, lately I’ve stopped doing it as often or [...]
