Didn't post yesterday, its the sign of a slow descent...
But for now i am rising up, the last couple of days have been busy with school work. I've completed my project for drama which was based on the Women of Ancient Greece and had my eyes opened to the start of a submissive/ patriarchal society. Made me slightly sad because women were sculpted into mens slaves and it was quite literally the most degrading and disgusting time in history. It did however make me appreciate the likes of the suffragettes in particular Emily Davison. Also many other inspirational women like Rosa Parcs, Rosie the Riverter and Virginia woolf so on... It made me realise how strong we have developed as a sex and how this need to continue.
I believe feminism is the way forward, because although many people assume women are treated equally because we can get jobs, vote and do nearly as much as men, our personal rights are actually rather tainted. This is in the sense that we get called "sluts" for sleeping with men. Whereas men get called "Lads". This needs to change. Hopefully soon.
Anyway am off to start my new job tonight , which is rather scary but exciting, will post tomorrow
Much love
