Gender Communication
I figured it wouldn't hurt to take a class about communicating with men.
This served two purposes for me...1) I've decided to go into feminist or gender studies in school (political science emphasis or something) 2) I think my communication with men is somewhat lacking.
So we have been talking about gender stereotypes in media. Our teacher showed us a video called 'sexism sells: but we're not buying' from the women's media center (or whatever it's called).
I want you guys to all watch it but I'm not sure how to add a video to this post (using my blogging app).
So... Someone go find it on YouTube and link it here so we can have an awesome discussion. :) it's pretty shocking.
:)
Other than that I am doing well. It's weird somedays when I think something like 'it'd be really fun to _____' and then I realize there's absolutely no reason I can't. I'm still getting used to that.

I haven't seen the video of which you speak, but having work in "the media" for a lot of years, I think I probably understand most of what it is about. Sadly.
Your hair is awesome! Please don't mess with it. I think it puts some fire into your life!
And about the "it'd be really fun to _____"; so, go do it! (Especially if it costs nothing, or next to nothing.)

I can talk about gender stuff all day long. And just because I find this part lacking in most discussions on the subject, I'll start by saying that the biggest problem in gender relations is women hating each other. Men don't do that crap. There isn't a "girls club" like the men have professionally or in any other sphere. Why is that?????
