feminist friends

Here is an article written by a friend here at school in response to arguments about sexual purity on campus.

Thanks to a brother in Christ…

Every spring, I am surrounded by men who joke about short skirts and v-necks on women causing people to stumble. This type of “joking” is not funny and it indicates a deep oppression of women by men.

To all the women out there: I say to hell with that oppression. If men stumble, they stumble. You don’t need to take that. In fact, the men can deal with their own sexual urges. It is not your problem, only a more intentional repression of who you are as a human being and as a woman.

I say to hell with modesty for modesty’s sake. If you want to show those legs you have been working on all winter, feel free to wear that short skirt. If you want the world to notice that you sometimes want to express your sexuality via clothing, go for it with the v-neck and the cleavage.

Shout out to Christo Lute. Read more here…

life as of late

Drumming SongWow, it has been a while hasn’t it. Let’s see, what has been happening?

First off, I knit a sweater, no big deal or anything just my first one. Who am I kidding? I AM STOKED ABOUT THIS! Here is a picture, needless to say, I will be wearing this a lot. You should also note that this was once a men’s extra large that I unraveled and re-knit. Again, no big deal…

Other than the sweater, my life has been a mess lately… I am trying to pull everything together and I think I am on the path to that (it’s just taking a little bit longer than I thought.  To help me feel a little more on track I painted my nails a lovely shade of Pamplona Purple (courtesy of OPI and my lovely roommate Shelby.

Oh yeah! I almost forgot… I am going to see Florence and the Machine on Thursday night at the Showbox at the Market. Needless to say I am stoked about this. Here is a video of Drumming Song, check out more of her stuff here…

So long farewell my friends,

peace until we meet again.
