Quotes
I'm reading "Reviving Ophelia," a book discussing society and its impact on girls. How that impact makes girls women who are stiffled and all fucked up (my words). I skip parts but it's been interesting and not completely psycho. I've always thought that in 5 years or so I'll start taking classes with the end result of a masters -- I'm pretty sure that I will get one in gender studies or something else society/sociology/psychology related. I'm fascinated by how Americans treat women and how it perpetuates things like rape. It pisses me off that no one is doing anything about it, perhaps it will be my job.Anyway, two lines from the book struck me and explain the wierd place I am in my life. Here they are -- hope they strike you as well.
'I found girls to be obsessed with complicated and intense relationships. They feel obligated and resentful, loving and angry, close and distant, all at the same time and with the same people.'
And
'Girls are supposed to smile. If I'm having a bad day, teachers and kids tell me to smile more. I've never heard them say that to a guy.' AMEN.
HORN!

Haven't you read that before? You should study woman issues, and defend them in court. You are one of those people that has the passion to change the world.
