I can't hear you over the sound of your Penis Power.

Today in class I was basically framed as an "Anti-Women's Rights lobbyist" because I reject the idea of burning my bra on a street corner and feel that there are better ways to demonstrate the ability of a woman to be as productive, independent and as much a citizen as a man. Basically, I was told that because I want a husband, eventually a child (maybe two), and I like to wear dresses I'm not allowed to say I stand for women's rights.

How the heck is that fair?

I still believe women should vote, should be allowed political power, should be able to own businesses and have power over their own bodies. My love for dresses should not say "Oh, well you don't have to respect me because I'm a woman." That's just stupid.

Unable to really control my annoyance, I looked at the MALE student who felt he had the right to tell me I am anti-women's rights and without much filter told him, "You have a penis! You can't sit there and tell me that you are more of a feminist than I am so long as you have the power of a penis!"  My professor smiled and the student stared at me speechless.

No, I do not want to be the first female president or the CEO of any big law firm. I don't want to be a doctor or a researcher. I may not be the most prominent display for feminism, again.. I don't stand in the street burning bras... but I still believe in women's rights and equality.



On a totally unrelated note:
Well, equality is related.. but just watch.

I'm going to see Macklemore on August 31 with Jordan and the boys. This video cracked me up.
