Awright...
Dec. 1st, 2003 11:34 pm...done for da night once I get this last thought into th' paper. A little help, and about 5 pages are done. Hopefully, everything else moves this smoothly.
Bought .hack 5 and Someday's Dreamer's 1, both useful gifts. I think I'm getting a slurry of manga for Christmas... those books are still not cheap. Plus, Pasadena, baby! Looking forward to that.
Doc's appointment tomorrow. Hopefully, things do well and I can get the size of my cast reduced.
Either way, two papers, fourteen days, eighteen pages total, and add an exam or two just for spice. Gotta love the end of the semester. Here's hoping I actually do get some work done tomorrow. Hah-ha-hah...
...and now from the back corner of my brain. Was walking through the Diag, our hotspot for fliers and activists, and noticed a table espousing "Men against violence against women" Luckily, my brain sorted through the nested sequence to a proper conclusion of the group's aims, but there was still this nagging sensation that the group was redundant and, well, silly. I understand the premise, but aren't men of the inclination going to behave properly around women, anyway?
Th' only reason I can think of such an organization needing to exist is if somehow, those types of men were a strong minority. And if that's true, I'd almost recommend the Knights of Jubal over this group... but what if it's true, and that decent men really are so far in the minority? My brain rebels at the thought. So how did we get here? Ideas? Is there some argument with a strong following accusing all men of committing violence if they don't make a public statement about their ideals to the contrary? Are we supposed to assume that if we don't flatly say no, we're somehow implicitly saying yes?
Please. Go find another soapbox. I'm kicking you off mine and setting up my own stand to advertise chivalrous behavior toward all men and women.
Thoughts? Comments? Want to call me a racist, sexist, misogynistic, bigoted dinosaur? (Sorry, inside joke.)
