A different semester, a different introduction. I'm Kitty, and I'm a Women's and Gender Studies major. (That sounds like some sort of 12 Step program introduction, doesn't it?) I'm 22 and here in Oklahoma to rehabilitate my GPA after my Semester of Crazy my Freshman year at OU back in 2006 so I can transfer to Smith College in Massachusetts in the Fall.
My favourite things to study are Film and Cultural Studies, and I'm a sucker for live music and community. I'm in this class because it's required for my major, but also because I hope that I'll get some good out of it, although I tend to suffer from Liberal In A Conservative Land rage occasionally. I promise I'll try to keep it restrained at least most of the time.
But long story short (or at least, shorter than it could be) I'm a genderqueer, crippled, liberal, atheist, Democratic, Cultural Studies nerd who plays D&D in my free time and enjoys picking apart hierarchies of oppression and representation way more than any sane person should.
This semester I'd really like to learn what most people think Feminism is, figure out what radical Feminists really think that they're trying to accomplish, understand why intersectionality is such a hot-topic issue in Women's Studies and related fields, try to understand what the anti-porn feminist mindset is all about, and answer once and for all, Butler vs. Dworkin. Who would win?

Aw... you make me so sad about my bare-bones, complete-the-assignment blog. Like, homework that actually sounds like it was fun to write, what is this?!
I can't really help it. I start to type a blog entry and things come out. It just happens.
