liberal book

I’m shocked. I just took a little online quiz on what type of liberal I am - it didn’t even get me right, it had me as the snarky kind (ok, sometimes) instead of as the rights activist kind (that I wanna be…I guess right now I’m more of a rights whiner/arguer than activist), but anyway, it turned out to be a promotion for a book, and I figured it would be crappy, but the table of contents actually got me interested. there’s one for conservatives too, it looks like it’s just on how to argue.  debate skills are always a good thing. and the author must know what he’s doing because he’s marketing two books, one to each party.  that was kinda brilliant, I have to say.

this blog is turning into a log of ways I find to procrastinate. I really do have a draft on sexuality and gender and stuff, I’m just forbidden to work on it until i finish my work (so I find other ways of wasting time instead).

Note to self: read this when I get married/move in with someone

Bitch PhD’s radical married feminist manifesto

I don’t want to have to be supermom, you know?  But if all goes according to plan, I’ll be a bitch PhD too.  I’ve been wondering for a long time how to get a partner to do his share of the housework, because other things can be fixed, but that’s a day to day kind of thing, and they might say they’ll help at first, but you hear way too many stories from married feminists saying they do all the housework no matter what they try.  But I do kind of like the idea of just doing it, but narrating it so that he knows how much more you’re doing than he is.  If that doesn’t make him want to pitch in, he’s probably not somebody I want to be with.

I’m not really explaining the background on this very well (at all?) but that’s because I know I need to be doing something else and I just want to save the link for myself.  Maybe someday I’ll go into it.
