Love SUXS

So, I was reading my Chpt 4 articles about sex, power and intimacy.  I was there highlighting and what have you. I rarely highlight in my books because I do wish to return them for cash. (by the way I do remember that my proff. said most students keep thier books cuz they liked it) I guess I have become a nerd because I will keep my book and refer to it when I can. FOR INSTANCE, I was on a phone call this past week and I was like love is not for me and it suxs. lol…I ended picking my women’s studies book and quote mrs. hooks or the other articles. I was there just preaching (Like a feminist, if you will) lol…this class…sneaks up on you. I liked the fact that I sounded like a university student. This is one of the only classes that I use outside of class and nutrition. I like it so far. Except that 45 I got for my post. that suxed otherwise I’m an adovcate for women’s studies.

I am JESS!!

OMG…so I could talk about my readings in women’s studies and how appealing they were to me which is nice. OR I could tell you about Bend it Like Beckham which to me is much nicer. (hope you understand) I there watching the movie yelling thats me that is my family. lol..i wasnt sure if i was speaking out of pride or shame.lol…anyway Im full bloodied african growing up in America. My mother never wore and thing remotely similar to pants till this day. She believes a woman should be a modest dresser. On top of the African culture we are a hardcore chrisitan family. lol…yes that type where everyone in the family does something at church. I realized after watching the movie I have to live for me and that making my parents happy I will do but I have to understand that all they want is for me to be happy. It is our of great care and concern. I AM JESS. lol…what a revelation……

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise

This week I got a real feel for my women’s studies class. I called my roomate from freshman year and said give me the run down on women’s studies class. She said Girl, be careful that class will get to you. {explicit removed} I came in thinking I can’t turn out to be a radical feminist. I began reading especailly this chapter 2 about the inequalities of women. I got upset and I just found myself think what can we do as women and how can we empower each other. I laugh at myself and saw that the President of Texas Woman’s University wanted us as women to see how far we have come and how far we can go and further.
