Feminism, dead?

Harem pants, high-waist pants and padded shoulders in jackets are all raging fashion trends in our modern day society. But it seems that men can no longer take feminism seriously when women choose to dress in clothing that first appeared in MC Hammer's 'Can't Touch This' or clothes that trended from the Harry High Pants books. What do you think?

subject selection

I have a pretty clear idea of what subjects I want to do and that of which I wish to share with you! (I have been rhyming everything today...).

• English Ext. 1
• Maths Ext. 1
• Economics
• Music
• Legal Studies

I want to do science because I am actually really interested in Science. Too bad I suck at it ): 

I spy

There has been recent talk in the media about bosses spying on their employees when they call in "sick". Bosses are on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, monitoring the activities of the supposed "sick". Now, is this an invasion of privacy, or do bosses have the right to get to the bottom of the pit of lies that is costing them business and in turn, money? I mean, these bosses entrust their finances and business with these employees but can't take their word for when they are supposedly "sick"? Or, is it the employee's fault? Should they be lying in the first place? And if they are lying, are they just plain stupid for updating their status on Facebook? I don't know. Personally, I wonder what ever happened to the good old "sickie" every now and then? Ahhhh.

"brown bastards"

As I was reading through my Sunday Telegraph, I stumbled upon an article which was about how Indian call centre staff were taught to talk to Australians. In a nut shell, they were told by their managers that Australia was the dumbest continent and that all Australians are aggravated, drunken idiots who only know how to enjoy sports. Apparently this was all happening during the time where there was quite a bit of uproar in the media between Indian students and the general Australian public. The staff were told that Australians were "technologically backwards" and that the average person's phone would be no better than a Nokia 3110 Classic. They were also told that Australians love to drink and would be "smashed" every Friday night.

The fact is that this stereotyping (to a certain extent) is no where near the reality. Most Australians hold down jobs, university degrees and are living highly educated lives. This spectrum of cultural stereotyping is shocking, really. Telemarketers... It wouldn't hurt them if we all pulled "Sanjay" on them!

double standard

So recently (or not so recently... a few weeks ago), I read in the MX that this Russian man went into a hair salon with the intention of robbing it, but the female owner happened to be a black belt in karate or which ever martial art it was and she thrashed him on the ground and while he was knocked out, she dragged him into the back area of her salon and tied him up to a chair, fed him nothing but viagra for three days and used him as a sex slave to """"teach him a lesson"""". Now that the whole ordeal is over, this woman is being applauded as a flipping hero. What part of constraining a man to a chair and using him as a sex slave for three days is heroic? The woman raped the guy and yet the media and society are cheering for her "feminism".

Another incident that I read about in the same MX was this man filed for a divorce against his wife and she responded by chopping his dick off and disposing of it in the rubbish bin. You have all these women on their talk shows all "yeah, you go girl" on this story. WHAT ABOUT THE POOR GUY THAT ONLY WANTED A DIVORCE? His dick got chopped off, I would say that he definitely got more than he bargained for.

What about the woman that poured petrol all over her husband while he was sleeping and lit him on fire?

Women are always complaining "oh, if I sleep around then I'm a slut but when a man sleeps around, he's a motherfucking legend". This obviously is no longer the case because I'm sure that these are not isolated incidents and that there are more cases which haven't been widely spread in the media. I guess the moral of this all is to not fuck around with women because they can get away with the most obscene and sexists acts whereas a man can't even make a sandwich joke without being shunned as a sexist.

A quick update

• Subject selections are coming up DDDD: I still don't know what to do!
• I'm just making random bullet points of everything on my mind at the moment... This post is quite cluttered, like my brain at the moment. 
• I went on a random online spree to look for things to buy but it turns out that the international shipping on everything costs more than the product itself so GAHHHH. I have to start saving up my money, whatever I earn; I tend to spend. You have no idea how crazy I am. Speaking of work, I HAVE TO START AT 6.30AM TOMORROW ): CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! IT'S GONNA BE SO FREAKING COLD!!

• Omg, today was weird as well. Miss Boyles was like "Does anybody know the song Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees?" and nobody said anything, so she started singing it "Stayin' alive, stayin' alive..." and I was just like "Ah, ah, ah" (you know the part that follows after in the chorus? SO EMBARRASSING!  
• Okay bye, gonna sleep 

NYAH

These holidays have been the worst holidays ever! I've had the oh so very daunting exit exam on my mind 24/7 no matter what it is that I have been doing. Transformers and Harry Potter have come to their ends. The weather has been miserable and cold. I have been getting a lot of migraines. I haven't even spent quality time with my mum! Argh, we always do something in the holidays because on the weekends, I work on Saturday and she works on Sunday so bleh. Not these holidays. I haven't started history essay, nor have I started my short story and booklet for English. And today has been totally wasted doing pointless things and now I am going to start getting ready for Annie's party. I know I will have fun but as soon as I get home, I'll be depressed again. Hopefully I am super hyped from her party so that I can write my essay and story tonight... but I highly doubt this. TOODLES EVERYBODY!

(this is my first ever attempt with eyeliner, pretty satisfied)
