All he needs is a good hard cunting

So, in my last semester here at utd (i think?) I have decided to add a minor: Gender Studies.

I'd been thinking about it for a while, because although I am concentrating on theater in my art and performance degree, I only do theatre because I don't hate it. Because I generally get along with the people there in (atleast the technical people, not so much on performers), and I could do it every day and not hate my life. BUT, it is by no means my passion. what are my passions: Art, I love sculpting, I LOVE reacting (set design hence). What else is my passion, I HATE hate more than I have a size fornt to express HATE our social structure in teh sense of ... well honestly in most senses, but particularly in that I am not a human being, in that I am not seens as having a valid opinion ( my room mate says this on a regular basis to me when we get into arguements and he simply doesnt feel like making an actual point, and would rather just pull a "well your opinion isnt valid")

Male domonation doesnt begin to describe this. female submission and opression doesnt begin to describe it. Male entitlement does nto begin to describe it. in fact I cannot help feel that the exact reason this is such a big issue to me is that there is nothing to decribe it, or atleast nothing I can find. its so deeply ingrained in us that we simply don't see it, that we don;t even realize there is something to see. It is not an aspect of our society, it is not a part of our society, it IS our society.
And since this is my passion, in a much more negative way than art, why not?

Now then, why didn't I realize this sooner? frankly I did, but I couldn't help but think: "well, I get thrown into regular bouts of depression because of these realizations. I avoid society like the plague to blind myself to it because frankly I simply cannot deal with it on a regular basis, so why would I want to study something that will damn near surely result in a bullet to the brain?"

well lately I have come to another realization: I can't bild myself to it. its there, and I have to deal with it, no matter how alone it makes me feel. whats more, would it rather not be better to have teh vocab and the ability to word this prolem rather than to just sit here and hate life for it?

I recently had both my husband and a close friend with in the span of a week ask me " why isnt your major gender studies" after having an extensive conversation with them. So I figured i needed to atleast look into it, and surprisingly, I would only need one extra class next semester.
