Went to The Birdcage last night. What a pile of shit that place is. Band was good though.

So I just went and finished university. 

Lovesick. Isn’t that just another term for syphilis?

In my gender, sexuality and writing module I was asked by the tutor, at the end of term, if I considered myself to be a feminist. I am one man among many women in that seminar group, which wasn’t surprising at all. But my answer was no, I do not use that term as a label to describe my attitudes towards equality among men and women.

I explained that yes I believe in the human right to equality among all sexes, sexualities and races. The teacher and the other students replied to my statement by saying that that IS feminism. I shook my head and said no, that is humanism.

When people say feminism stands for equality for everyone, I get it the movement tries to make itself universal that way. But I would say that is humanism over feminism. We are human first and foremost. That fact stands over our sex ten fold.

I am not opposed to feminism, I am in support of it, but if I am to label my belief in the human right to equality then I would call myself a humanist over a feminist.

Obviously this may strike up some responses, I have many followers who are avid and passionate feminists and so I ask you for your opinions on this subject.

Sprawled out on the bed in the spare bedroom (which my mother has turned into a pale pink and aesthetically pleasing masterpiece, considering the dimensions of the room) reading for my final exam on Friday, with Wagner’s Tannhäuser - Overture piece playing loudly in the background, when my father (who had come back from work without me realising) comes in with a large glass of red wine for me then walks out after only saying ‘hello’.

Some real lavish shit goes down in this house sometimes.
