i've started my essay. but yeah, i've only written the introduction... not the easiest part but almost. ;p still, it's 500 words, so it's a 5th of what i have to write in total. not too bad i guess... think i'm going to write some more tonight.
tomorrow i'm going to a graduate fair, trying to see if there's any jobs out there for me when i finish uni... not so far away in time now. still, i better keep concentrating on what i'm doing now cause not getting a degree won't help...
it's weird, for five minutes i feel i'm in a very positive mood and then the next five minutes i feel like crap. i just need to get this work done really... at least i've already prepared my presentation for next tuesday, and since i've done all of my readings for this essay it might take a while to write it but it won't be too difficult. sorry, i keep babbling on about essays... it's just that they're really taking over my life at the mo. :)
i was reading some pro-life websites earlier, including a website that is considered one of the best ones for pro-lifers out there. and the amount of disinformation and ignorance in it was ridiculous. how can you not think that a woman has rights over her body? i cannot see how people can say that it is not a woman's right. i think reproductive rights are one of the most important things when it comes to trying to tackle gender inequality. in the end, much of the subordination of women in many developing countries is due to the fact that reproductive rights are in the hands of men instead of women. guess i'm a feminist... but anyway, the whole thing really puzzles me. and i am scared of abortion being made illegal in the US. that would be a huge, terrible blow to women's rights. we got this far, why do we have to go back to where we were? it does scare me.
enough for my semi-political/ideological ranting. just something i've been thinking about. meh meh meh. instead of talking about feminism i should write my damn essay about gender. 'how is globalisation gendered? answer with reference to women's income-generation activities.' sounds hard? well, it is. ^^;
