Report from the Ground

I have an extra half-hour in GenEq and not too many tasks to complete. I think maybe I should be womanning the table on Sproul Plaza, but who's to say, really?

Carolyn is next to me, reading a BUST magazine article about the Top 10 Greatest Adulteresses of All Time. Number 1: Aphrodite. Number 2: The Virgin Mary (#Rude. #SorryMetaswag. #AndLaney. #AndNana. #Catholicism). I have never committed adultery, but I have also never been married. Until my potential nuptials come to fruition, I will have to find another way to make it onto a BUST Top 10 list (#Jokes! #SorryNanaAgain.)

For example, Top 10 Gender Equity Resource Center Interns who Blog instead of Tabling.

My Doing Feminist Research class is reading an exemplar text for our humanistic inquiry unit called The Promise of Happiness by Sara Ahmed. A major point is that getting married is culturally linked to happiness, even though really, it shouldn't be! (#Uplifting. #ThanxSaraAhmed.) Which brings me to my two-person Bachelor Challenge. It should be noted that GoddessMom has not submitted her votes, so I will probably win by default with my suggestion that Brad Womack will eliminate Allie and Jackie tonight, thereby shattering their chances at cultural happiness. After reading Sara Ahmed's text and watching this season of The Bachelor, I would strongly recommend that the remaining women not marry Brad Womack. It won't make you happy, and unless you plan on committing adultery, it won't win you any kudos from BUST magazine. Plus, the guy is a mess.
