Assumptions I am sick of
Don’t no why WHM has got me thinking of this but….
Some people make assumptions about my opinions since I pursued a graduate degree in women’s studies
(1) I hate men.
Answer: Well yeah I hate men but NOT because I took a few women’s studies courses.
(2) I *MUST LOVE* the fact that Senator Clinton is running for president.
Answer: Having any sort of opinion on her candidacy means someone will try to argue against your ideas until you see it his or her way or at least pretend to. Or if you don’t have an opinion, it’ll look like you’re uninformed.
I voted for Hilary in the last two senatorial elections because she was the best option. Will she be the best option for president–as of now I don’t think so but time will tell.
(3) I abhor pornography and female strip clubs.
Anyway I answer this will get me trouble so NO COMMENT.
(4) Women who pursue graduate degrees but choose to stay home and raise their children are wasting their lives and educations.
Answer: NOT!
(5) President Bush isn’t doing much if anything at all for women.
Answer: DUH!
#3. Ya really can’t win, no matter what your opinion. I hate that question, too.
#4. Obviously taking 5 years off to raise your tiny baby before they start school full time is a WASTE THAT YOU WILL NEVER EVER RECOVER FROM! Not. I know that in most really intense professions you WILL suffer for not being there 5 years… but so would a man if he took 5 years off to be a stay-at-home-dad. It’s not really women-specific– it’s just that the women are the ones usually willing and able to make that sacrifice. Being a parent is tricky!
