I could use one of whatever it is

My mom sent me this picture in an email. I just thought that I would share it with the world.

Derogatory words don't make my day.

This is my last picture from my trip to Florida. I took the picture while in Disneyland. There was a ride called Tom Sawyer's Island and you had to get to it by a boat that looked like a raft. On top of the raft read the sign in the picture. I could not believe it! That Disney Land, out of all places in the world, would have such a derogatory word especially on a sign for a kids ride.

Why I like Daytona Beach

My Winter vacation in Florida this year was most enjoyable for me and my camera. The talk of gendered bathrooms is one that comes up at least once during a Women's Studies class at UPEI. Students and Profs can sit there for hours and rant about the number of ways that our campus has gendered bathrooms, the way that these bathrooms regulate gender, and the consequences in doing so. The main problem that I find with all the bathrooms on campus is not so much that they are gendered, but that they show a little figure of either a 'male' or a 'female' on the door. This figure has multiple looks in many different settings. Sometimes one will see the traditional boxy looking figure, in Jungle Jim's they have Jane or Jim on the door, at fancier resturants they may have a lady in a big poofy hat and a man in a tuxedo, and so on. These pictures to me are not very inclusive and make me feel as if one must look like the image - look female - in order to go into the bathroom. The pictures are exclusive in that they do not include all people who may not necessarily look feminine but identify as female.
What I liked so much about this bathroom on Daytona Beach is that it did not contain a little figure, it strictly said the word women. I felt like it was inclusive to everyone who identified as woman and did not exclude by putting up a boxy little figure.

The Virginity Post

There are so many things to say about a video like this. First, kudos's to my biggest blog supporter in the world for giving me the link, thanks.

So when you want to make a little extra money these days the best way to go about doing it is to auction off your virginity - this is especially enticing if you are a Women's Studies Major. Don't fear feminists of tomorrow, because there are plenty of hairy men out there who would give you millions to take your V-card.

Stereotypical Soap

I took a trip down to Daytona Beach Florida for Christmas Break this year. While there I went to a huge flea market and in it was a soap stand. I was doing all that I could not to take pictures of all the soap packages there. Here are just a few
