It's the final countdown doo de do dedooooooo

This class was cool.
I like to learn about women.
I also enjoy making videos, and I'm very glad the project allowed me to.
That was nice.
I like to meet new people, and I'm very glad this class allowed me too.
That was also nice.

In this class, I was introduced to a lot of feminist writers that I felt had very excellent perspectives. I am constantly attempting to learn about new issues that feminists are concerned with, so these articles helped a lot. Of the greatest concern for me is trying to get people to care again, and diminishing the stigma that "feminism" holds. I was glad that other people had the same frustrations with being "outed" as a feminist. To me, a feminist is any woman who is self-respecting and carries some sort of opinion. This obviously is a broad definition, but I think it's important to have a broad definition. While I am writing this, it is important to note that my brain is fried, therefore, there will be no wonderfully enchanting ideas coming from my fingertips against the keyboard. Rather, I am focusing on the clicks my keyboard makes and realizing that it is a very nice sound. I think that women's studies has a place in school curriculum, and it should forever have a place there. How else will people have a more broadened perspective on what that commercial perpetuates or what those diet fads are the product of? I like it a lot. I like women's studies. And I like people who take the courses. This is a good feeling.
