Charm School, the crazy wedding cake sabotage lady on cake boss, Nurse Jackie, 16 and pregnant, Sex Decoy i mean should i go on? Okay i can tell ur not convinced, how about battle of the bods? pretty wicked? how about bad girls club?
as i peruse the bajillion cable channels i pay a bajillion dollars for each month in search of something formidable to watch, i think to myself, "is this what progression looks like."
Let me explain. I used to have this passion once. It was for standing up to ppl that didn't think I could do something. It got turned up to ungodly notches when it had anything to do with my having a vagina and boobs (enormous boobs but that's neither here nor there). You see, when people would ask me if i were a feminist, i'd say "um I don't know, I just kinda don't like it when ppl think women are inferior."
I'd read Naomi Wolf, gravitate toward the female professor with the 'masculine edge' and even dedicated half of my undergrad work to writing about how the media devours young ladies self image only to regurgitate it in a slimmer, sleeker, smoother, softer(insert ridiculous euphamism for femininity here) tampon box, shampoo, bikini, vodka- you name it.
the images i was being bombarded with as i constructed my burgeoning she-woman-man-hater mentality (ok i'm not really that bad) made me sick. I'd be up at night looking for ads that objectified women and show my friends... and they'd be like okay and what?
Alright what am i saying right now? i'm just letting u peer into a small percentage of my brain and give u at least half an explanation as to what i intend to do here on this blog. or is it in?
anywho... after seeing countless women in my life, including myself and mother (she'll come up alot here i'm sure STAY TUNED!! she's a riot!!) suffer from the ghastly circumstance it is to be a woman in this world, i've decided to chronicle just a bit of it.
sit back relax and read as i attempt to enlighten, humor and sensitize you.
