Just a few things

This is just a couple of things I feel I should post;

g / gia - Never, and I mean never feel alone when it comes to your feminist ideals. Perhaps it's hardest for people our age because we're being brought up through our teen years with 'raunch culture' to a saturated extent and still the virgin/whore double standard is there. If you have any other issues you want to talk about, I really wouldn't mind chatting to you about it.

mark - If your reading this I'd really like to open a discussion with you privately since I don't want to use my comments page to air out my issues (not enough room, heh), hope you do agree.

Laura - I hope you have an enjoyable and rewarding experience in Chile and you are still one of my favorite, if not the favorite feminist blogger.


So, erm, yeah... really it was an urge to write these... sort of... notes, but I do feel better.

Another quote - why not?

"Every time someone says 'I'm not a feminist but...' a misogynist gets it's wings."

*Shrugs* Don't know where that one came from.

Well, it's been over a month since my last post, not much has happened... besides turning 18 yesterday!!! But that's no excuse for not posting (who am I talking to? Who reads this blog anyway?).

I want to get a few niggles and rants up by the end of this month but until then I will leave you with gem I found at Sparkle*Matrix,

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to steadfastly proceed with plans announced in the Queen's Speech to make possession of extreme pornography illegal and to include a much wider range of pornographic imagery, such as R18 material, within the scope of the Criminal Justice Bill.

*Update*

I get how there are people who are uncomfortable with this petition and so here is a link to 'I'm not a Feminist But...' to a different one.
