    So I have been taking Salsa lessons and I am really loving it. It is strange for me to have to dance with a partner--I am so used to dancing by myself at the club or anywhere in my house but I have become more comfortable with sharing that space with people in a social setting if that makes sense.  I don't have to see it as a sexual advance but rather a fun activity of sharing.  We had like 5 or 6 weeks of beginner lessons and now I'm in the intermediate class.  Read more >

    why is it that men can have weapons that kill like guns, knives, bow n arrows but women only get pepper-spray?Today in ceramimics, a young lady about my age was working in the studio with me when another young lady like ourselves say her keys.*Oh my gosh, is that pepper-spray?*(me)Oh wow! It's pink!* Yeah, (chuckle) do you like it?At that point, I turned back around to continue throwing when I realized what had just happen.  I don't know if there is a word for it but{we all knew what it was}{we all knew why she had it}and  Read more >

    I am a feminist.Cant feminism be part of my identity?While reading bell hook's ¨Feminist theory", there was a whole chapter devoted to feminism. In which she says some very provocative things.p31" we could avoid using the phrase, 'I am a feminist' (a linguistic structure designed to refer to some personal aspect of identity and self- definition) and could state, 'I advocate feminism'."  Read more >

    I heard from, my morning news source, the Uptake this morning, that there has been a report that has come out about women in the military.  It reports that there has been an increase number of sexual assaults being reported by female soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.  I think they said it was a 7 or 9% increase.  They don't believe that that is do to the fact that there have been more sexual assaults, necessarily, than in recently years but that women are coming forward more, but the real truth is that most go un-reported.  Read more >

    Labelingto name, or tag--to attach label to or to classify as Why do we label?Is it to place things and people into categories to better know them or as a dismissal?Once something or someone has been labeled--do we go back and reevaluate them?a fruit that is oblong in shape, has a firm outer layer, and is green then turns more yellow and ultimately brown as it ripens -- a Banana or a type of banana--there is no reason to disbute this but when it comes to people-we are not as clear cut  Read more >
