in bare feet I walk, thinking I'm out of place [01 Nov 2009|07:41pm] vampirespider [ mood | restless ] [ music | CODY - Down in the Dark ] I'm feeling oddly out of sorts - restless and unable to focus. Although there are several things I could do - I could read "The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston", which I have out; I could catch up on the last three episodes of "Mad Men", or the last four episodes of "Merlin"; I could draw up an outline for the Gender and Rep essay I'm supposed to do - I am instead going to try and sort out my thoughts on the question posed at my Sceptics Anon meeting this week (Sceptics is a sort of philosphical debating group, loosely organised around the idea of finding the right questions with regard to life, religion and so on.) The question is: Are we in this age too focused on gender, sex and sexuality, at the expense of our basic individuality and humanity? ( In which I consider this ) In other news, I think I may have found my favourite piece of marginalia today, in response to: I am not primarily concerned with sado-masochism as a physical practice in which orgasmic sexual fulfilment is gained from the administration of suffering. Some brilliant soul had written: Tell that to T.E. Lawrence! (From: Take it Like a Man: Suffering, Sexuality and the Great War) 13 comments|post comment

some kind of wonderful (that's what you are) [27 Oct 2009|08:27pm] vampirespider [ mood | *dances* ] [ music | my first, my last, my everything - barry white ] Today in my seminar, we discussed radical feminism. And I quote: it was always going to be a problem recruiting people to a cause which wants you not to have orgasms. That is, so far, the entirety of my opinion. Also, I wish I found this less adorable. Alas, I am spectacularly easy. 5 comments|post comment

nothing you could ever do to ever let me down [26 Oct 2009|05:20pm] vampirespider [ mood | blah ] [ music | a minor incident - badly drawn boy ] Today in my Gender and Representation class, I: Doodled a short story featuring stick figures. Basically Stick Figure A thought Stick Figure B was pretty, but all Stick Figure B could think about was cars, so Stick Figure A brought Stick Figure B a car (Stick Figure B caption: Yay!), they went for a ride in the car, then Stick Figure B pressed Stick Figure A up against a wall to show appreciation, Stick Figure C showed up to call them homosexualists, and then Stick Figure B brought Stick Figure A a box of LEGO (Stick Figure A caption: Yay!). Naturally, A,B and C represent no one in particular. Tried to remember the missing words for a stanza of "In Memoriam": I sometimes hold it half a sin/To put in words the grief I feel/For words, like_____ half reveal/And half conceal the _____ within. The missing words turned out to be: Nature/Soul. Managed to remember the line: Descend, and touch, and enter. Without any trouble. Amusingly, it's often misquoted as simply "Descend and enter". Which I think we can all agree is slightly less....romantic. Made a tally of how many times my tutor had to explain the difference between transgender and transsexuality, and a sub-tally of how many time she had to say "transsexuals are actually transitioning from one gender to another." The first was 7, the latter was 5. Contemplated the many, many ways in which I am a bad lesbian, according to Sheila Jeffreys.For one, I don't hate men. For another, I seem to actually enjoy sex with women. Also sex toys and porn. I am ashamed. Pondered the ability of certain strains of radical and lesbian feminisms to make me want to say, "Fuck this, I'm going home to watch HIGNFY and Top Gear. You guys can start your seperatist colony without me." Today was not, in hindsight, what one might call a most excellent day. However, I have come home to find out that I am getting my government grant this year, which is a relief, and I am celebrating this by buying shoes. Specifically these flats and these boots, which is exciting, particularly because my main flats are falling apart, as are my Converse, and it's getting cold enough for boots. Particularly with my woolly skirt. I also have pizza for dinner, ginger snaps and a worrying amount of books about radical feminism. Also, Channel 4 is showing a documentary called "Race and Intelligence: The Last Taboo", which looks a) interesting and b) like a good opportunity to mock the writers of "The Bell Curve". One should not miss these kinds of opportunities, after all. Also, I need to call Bean, as she has all but disappeared. Woe. 21 comments|post comment
