Hitting it with a hammer


“Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.” - Margaret Mead
What do I talk about next? Do I talk about double-standards? Do I talk about why we need to consider ourselves feminists? Why you need to be a little bit angry, a little bit sarcastic, and have a big sense of humor to be a feminist (among many other things)? Why Todd Akin's statement on "legitimate rape" and "acting ladylike" is so wrong and so detrimental to equality? Why shaving is okay and not okay

Are there any topics you would like to talk about or are concerned about that you believe other women/feminists should be concerned about? Do you want to do more than just read about it over the internet? Because that seems a bit passive agressive to me. I mean, yeah, I'm causing those who read this to think about feminism and equality. Causing people to think can be a pretty powerful thing, but I also want to cause those who read this to act. Have in-person discussions with one another, but that's like going to an Anime convention and discussing why everyone around you should like Anime. It's not like these discussions with like-minded people are bad, they can cause new ideas or new ways of thinking.

Maybe I just have this urge to teach young people about feminism and equality and I can't express it because I, well, haven't created any little ones to teach yet. Yet, even that isn't really enough because it will most likely only be two little ones to teach. Are there any children's books on feminism? =) It's not only children that need to be taught these ideas of equality. I still need to be taught things, to learn new ideas, and to think differently. Do you really think there is a woman out there who has it all figured out when it comes to feminism?

I would also like to thank everyone for their comments on my posts. In the past, I used to feel like one of those crazy people on the street corner with the tinfoil hat, yelling about crazy things, and that nobody was actually listening to me. However, with your comments along with positive reactions from friends I do not feel like a lunatic anymore. Friends ask me questions about politics, tell me they love the things I post, and then I have your comments that show me there I'm causing a discussion and that people love what I am posting. I was so happy to read all of these positive comments which caused me to tear up! I will respond properly to every comment!
