It begins again and I’ve not had a break yet


 
 
 
Here we are in finals week, even though I’m done already and my prof. for psychology of women is emailing me and giving us the name of the extra book we need to read and the book report paper. They had the book at the public library and I sent the husband to get it and have already started reading it but after 6 pages of the intro, I’m ready to cry and feel like wiping men of the face of hte earth, which is pretty normal for me but still….
 
If you feel like hating someone for a bit and need a good cry go read "Half The Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity For Women Worldwide" by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. I’m hoping that there will be some redemption during the book, because it starts with how more women have been killed in the twentieth century than men have died in the wars of the 20th century. Just where is the public outcry for them? Does anyone but the feminists even care that men and women kill off their unwanted girls through abuse and neglect just because they are girls? Me, who wanted nothing but girls and has 6 sons to 5 daughters…..who desperately wanted a girl when I had Caedmon, *even though he is a wonderful son*
 
Well, I guess I will go back to reading this book and wanting to cry, just so I can get a head start on next semester. I also downloaded the first chapter of psychological tests and measures, so I will be reading that over the next few weeks, well I really have nothing else to do with no money, so why not.

I understand your frustration…but please don’t lump all men in the same category. I treat all women with respect and have taught my sons to do the same…

Goodness! I don’t know if I could read something like that without feeling really sick and having nightmares afterwards. Of course, those emotions would only emerge AFTER I spent a good long time being pissed off. (((hugs))) you for being so brave.

Sorry you didn’t get a break. I don’t think too highly of men as a whole, some are okay but even the okay ones are still men. I suppose I should be thankful for the one I am married to. At least he leaves me the hell alone (which is what I want most of the time) and I can do what ever I want.
