Wednesday, 30 November 05 :: fyi..

i wish i had something snappy to say about the interaction i just had.. with a fellow who organizes with the freakin' green party.. but i don't. except to tell my few readers out there, this ~~unknown~~ unfortunately probably all to well known fact: mysognism is still rampant.. esp. amongst progressive men. in fact, thats where its worst, because if you call them on their shit they'll just start spewing all sorts of politically correct crap. sorry fellows, but that doesn't cut it.

personally, i think a new course needs to be taught, new lessons need to be delivered.. "Feminism for the Progressive Man: Yes, You are Still a Mysognist, how you vote or what you say doesn't mean shit." or something a bit more snappy.

its interactions like this that make me want to change the bumpersticker i have on the back of my car from "Vasectomy Prevents Abortion" to "Castration Prevents Abortion".. ha! ha! ha!

You could put that on a t-shirt. Heh heh

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
