Inflammatory Observation of the Month: Educated women are easier to get along with than uneducated women. And I don't mean this in an elitist way. I mean, most women, maybe, have a hard time being all Sisterhood! when they've never heard of Sisterhood, and so they go on competing -- to the benefit of The Patriarchy and those who would like to keep us from talking to one another. (Listening, Metal Ox? The Amy incident?) Divide and conquer. It's how they've kept the upper hand. We won't have "equality" until we stop being catty, girls, and stabbing one another in the back. So stop it. If you work with me at The Job, you know what I mean and you know who you are. Any how, I didn't run in to this level of catty bullhockey in my academic jobs. Not that backstabbing ambition doesn't exist there, I don't mean to imply that. It certainly does. But, overall, those terminal degreed women seem to try to stick together and not be catty bitches and also, well, there are other things to talk about in that world than men and make-up and how everyone else is a slut or whatever. Here, in corporate world, not so much. So go ahead, tell me I'm generalizing and am wrong. Cool! We'll be talking about something other than men or make-up!
Happy Observation of the Week: Cards! Did you see those games on Saturday (Sunday, too)? At the second, wow, was everybody fired up! Way to hustle, guys! That's some beautiful ball playing! You so rock!
Oh, and speaking of rocking: ! Last night, in this order: Gin Blossoms (2); Stray Cats (4); Pretenders (4); ZZTOP (5)! Fun. What a concert. I'm so happy to have seen my gender-bendy girlfriend Chrissy Hinde before I did die. So Happy.
Love!

bell hooks tags them "patriarchally identified women" and makes no bones about their contributions to The Problem. what's more amazing are Educated Women to Talk Sisterhood and walk like a boy.
Yes, that's for sure. At least the uneducated patriarchally identified are being honest in their self-hatred. One thing I'm most shocked about is how little an undergraduate eduation seems to educate women.
