Yarr!!
Hello everyone! I’m Anne. Uh, so I’m joining your staff thing, though I’m not sure what I’m supposed to bring to it. Mmm, yeah. Honestly I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing here, but it sounds fun. Diversity I believe was mentioned to me at one point as a reason? I’m actually Chris’s friend Kyoko’s friend from high school, so I’m from Louisiana. And I’m a MILITANT FEMINIST (Please don’t be scared, it’s mostly a joke! I’m certainly into feminism, but I think Chris and James think I’m a little nuts, especially after I had some epic argument with James over the feminist value of Mean Girls (and totally won hands down HA)). Um so. I’m sorry this is only partially coherent and stuff, but I have to go write a really, really, really long history paper on – surprise! the sexuality of a female Brazilian slum dweller in the 1960s. Really, I swear I’m not a man-hater. I shave my armpits and everything. Most of the time.
Uh… nice meeting yall sort of? Or something (never done this internet-meeting-people thing before, it’s very strange)… Bye! or, hi? Right. Whatever.

So, would you get upset if I said that women belong in the kitchen?

Oh, Sheppard…
One time, I had a class where, for the first 20 minutes, we talked about Whitman’s deep-seated sexism present within "Song of Myself." During that part of class, no male raised his hand. As the class moved away from discussions of gender roles and sexuality, I almost raised my hand, until one girl said that something was "equally hubristic of Whitman," forcing me to cower in fear of the intellectual superiority of my peers.
The moral of the story: I think everyone should use Firefox. Down with Microsoft.

Well one time in my American Lit. II class when we were asked to say some phrases that come to mind when we think of femenist I said "feme-nazi." I believe, "butch," "man hater," and "crew cut" were also listed.
Oh and whenever we talked about women in literature every problem women had seemed to be linked to either patriarchal suppression, or unrelieved sexual tension.
Personally I agree with Christina from Grey’s Anatomy. It’s the estrogen. (and all other hormones which are related to the menstrual cycle)

If you think about it, society, being shaped by men for most of human history, is full of examples of patriarchal influence. Like how all women earn less than their male counterparts. Or think about the double standard with regard to sexual behavior. Or how the feminine has been subverted in Christianity. A lot of the time, we don’t even think about things like that.
