Hey beautiful Lola, I've been checking out your entries, focused on Women issues! What is the Obsession all about? It's almost deadly, but comsuming and fiery as it reaches out for a "truth"....! I would like to know what this passion and focus is based on!?

I am really appreciating these. I've got an action coming on my site tomorrow about women getting equal pay to men (still 77% fucking percent in the US).
Wozniak says
Damn. I didn't know that about Rwanda (and I follow them pretty closely). Sweden's the shit. My friend lives there and it's a whole other world.
I have to say, though, that I'm not voting for Hillary Clinton in the primaries. Tokenism gets us nowhere. Hell, I don't even know who the hell I'm voting for, but as I see it, she's full of self-interest and not service to the American people, and is all talk with little walk. But then, the other candidates thus far are, too. Damn elections (They're a year from now, too!).
Wozniak says
I don't know if you know the certain scenario that needs to happen in order for Pelosi to take office tomorrow sans election, and I can't exactly morally (I'm a pacifist) advocate for it happening, but I would definitely vote for her. She's the shit, and doesn't take no guff from nobody. My only problem with her is her classist pandering, but that comes with American politics. Obama and Hillary did it the other day to a crowd in Alabama, IIRC, with Obama uniting his grandfather's job as a 'house boy' - his words, not mine, with that of the heritage of slavery. And Hillary got by with quoting MLK, Jr.
Where's "Paul Wellstone":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wellstone when you need him? Or at least an adherent?
Got plans for International Women's Day? I'm trying to look for local events to plug into, now that I know of its existence (didn't know there was one until last month when we had an editorial meeting).
Wozniak says
Yeah, I was checking out that site a bit earlier. And yes, every day is women's day. I'm seeing a real lack of organizations taking this on. My favorite at the moment is the "Green Belt Movement":http://www.greenbeltmovement.org who give women in Africa jobs replenishing rainforests.

Blarg! You see what women will do to themselves to gain male approval? It's sick, man.
Women receive 90% of all plastic surgeries performed in America.

Female genital mutilation is one of the most controversial topics in anthropology. The classicalists argue that you shouldn't interfere with those you study (as if that were possible) while many others (myself included) see FGM as something that needs something done about. It's cruel, malicious, sexist, and useless.
Lola the Car Chick says
If we were talking about radical penile excision, I'm sure anthropologists would be taking a far less philosophical view towards it.
Wozniak says
Yeah. We got in huge arguments about it - luckily more and more of the anthroplogists that were being turned at my university were activists. U of Mich, however...ugh.
Wozniak says
If you've a collection of those, you can burn them to a CD (not as data) and then rip them back as .mp3's. Works wonders with getting rid of iTunes protection, and with CD-RW or DVD-RW, is incredibly cost-efficient. Damn the man and the RIAA.

PS. American gender wage-gap from an article Feb. 4, 2007:
"Women earned 81 cents for every dollar a man made in 2005, up from 76.1 cents in 2001 and 66.6 cents in 1983, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The agency found the gap narrowest for workers in their 20s and early 30s. Women 25 to 34, for example, earned 89 cents for every dollar men made in 2005, whereas among 35- to 44-year-olds, women pulled in 75 cents for every dollar that men made."
The gap widens at the professional and executive level; and if we're talking about part-time work, women earn about .60 cents to a dollar compared to men.
