Switch-up

Okay, here's the plan. This blog isn't getting a lot of love because my life is not that interesting. If you want to see photos and blurbs from my incredibly average life, my facebook should suffice. But there's just not enough to write articles.

So here's the thing. I'm going to start pretending that people read this. Like a lot of students in the information age, I come across a lot of interesting articles -- specifically, with my interests, on popular religious issues, women's rights, and literature, and when I find something like that, I'm going to slap it up here and see if we can get a conversation going. Unlikely, considering that I think my audience is tiny, but I'm going to keep deluding myself.

So here's our kick-off. It's originally from a popular feminist blog called feministing.com, which I read almost everyday. You can ignore the conservative pundit thing if you want -- what I'm more interested in here is the incredible flippancy with which the word "rape" is treated.

Also, this Method commercial, also from feministing.com. What's up with this?
