Portrait of Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 –...Image via Wikipedia

Stumbled upon a couple if blogs this week. Both curiously pertaining to prostitution. You can log off at this point , I understand. Anyways, sex work is a shit job in my opinion and benefits women nada. Admittedly there are a few former sex workers who claim it’s a job like any other. But it’s not, is it? Anyway maybe im just mad that they getting some.LOL

So last night i was flipping through channels and came a cross a doccie on women. It was a piece on feminism.A bunch of them started crying as this androgynous looking female delivered a speech about the current portrayal of women in magazines. I honestly thought WTF y'all are overeacting but then i caught myself and thought actually the backstage life of all that glamour models sell is pretty bleak.Women fall prey to sexual predators guised as photographers. Girls die DAILY from anorexia and other self hating body image related issues because of the pressure media and society as a whole puts on them.

And i started thinking, what if I'm ignorant of my ignorance what if I'm blind to my own victimization as a woman. I wouldn't say I'm oppressed per se but what affects other females around the world affects me too. There are countries presently i wouldn't travel to based upon their treatment of women.
We walk around feeling like we have rights but we really don't. Looking around, this world is still very patriarchal.Women are barely present in positions of leadership. An abortion debate is going on where women, in my opinion need to take the lead. I believe they would come up with the best solution. Obviously they know first hand how they get into situations where they start considering abortion. And i believe the solution would involve more on prevention compared to the current argument of yes abortion and no abortion.
I swear I'm gonna read up on this shit. I'm a feminist from now on. Now, where are those DC albums...

My Twitter is not a democracy

Monday, 22 March 2010

Twitter is my spot. I come to chill and have random conversation with random folk. But once in a while you get Stifflers. People who wanna stiffles your ideas. Don’t know why they just can’t be indifferent. My Twitter is not a democracy. I tweet what I like. Change my profile when the urge arises. It’s all in good fun. So when people come around to tell me how to run your my Twitter. I get hellah mad. For me it’s simple if you don’t like how I tweet or whatever unfollow I might or might not be cut up about it. But please don’t @reply with some rudeness. My Twitter experience is more about tweets and less about handle. If an unknown tweeter pop on my timeline. My knee jerk reaction wouldn’t be to unfollow. That’s counterintuitive. I only unfollow folk who i can’t stand people I find offensive or crude.

On the other hand I understand folk who would like to tell me their problem with how I tweet. It’s natural. If you have a problem with a particular tweep you address it with that tweep. I’m not sure I like that. Cause in the end i just feel stiffled.Quiet honestly I wanna attract open minded folk who don’t mind my sheninigans. I can’t please the masses its impossible. I won’t even try.

I like dreamers, triers non-conformists so if you can’t take my quirkiness let’s us part ways roho safi! Let’s leave bureaucracy to government.
