Ali : A lot of boys me know are trying to get their girlfriend to try a bit of feminism, do you think that if right? Sue : Yeah I do actually I think it's a good thing. Ali : Do you think all girls should try feminism at least once? Do you think it's right that they should try it when they is drunk at a party or what ever with one of their mates?

An amazing book by an amazing woman
Someone once said to never buy an autobiography written by someone who is still alive because it tends to be boring. They were wrong. This book, though considered as a self-serving book by many right-wing extremists, is perhaps one most the most amazing books that came along. It gives first-eye views into the world of perhaps the second-most amazing woman on the planet. With humor, honestly and passion, Hillary Clinton describes her life from growing up in a Republican family in a small town, to becoming one of the most recognized and beloved person in the White House.
Described in her books are the many adventures, learning experiences and coming-of-age realizations during her trip to the White House. Contained in the book, too, is the story of how she and Bill Clinton met. Perhaps one of the most romantic relationships ever started, this sheds new light on the romantic relationship of the Clinton. It allows us to see that it wasn't a relationship based on politics, but rather two people who are in love, and who share a common interest in making progress in the important areas of American politics -- pushing for acceptance, family values and human rights.
For those who intend to buy this book because they want to read all the "dirt" on the Monica Lewinsky fiasco, don't bother. This book isn't about airing dirty landry for the American public to read. What it is, though, is also a description of the troubled times she and Mr. Clinton went through and how, because they loved each other, made it through. It probably isn't a "must-read" for any political junkie, but for any freedom loving Democrat, this book inspires and makes one realize there are still good, honest, patriotic politicians in America.

I don't know if you've noticed the same trends, but I am very disturbed that in the past weeks, there seems to be a rise in violence against women. The college student in New York who was abducted and killed, the man who killed his family and shot himself on the freeway in middle America, the police officer who killed his pregnant wife, and now, the professional wrestler who supposedly (and allegedly) killed his wife and child - there seems to be a rise in violence against women.
In all these news stories, the focus is always on the "investigation," but never is feminist thought applied to this - asking why the rise in violence against women? Or, perhaps, is it that the media is merely focusing more on these cases now, being bored with Iraq and having nothing to report about the violations of the Bush Administration?
I assert this: violence against women can be blamed by the culture in which we live in, the one that eroticizes violence and misogyny. Take a look around you - the magazine ads that feature women in the trunk of a vehicle, diamonds that are depicting women lying on the floor with phrases like "to die for," video games that feature violence against women, television shows that show women being murdered.

Marc L (Old Dominion) wrote12 hours ago What's your story? Mine is below.
I am disappointed. I am fucking diappointed. I am disappointed with them all. All my fucking life, there have only been two men I've tried to mold myself into - Bill Clinton and John Edwards. If you didn't already hear, Edwards admitted to having an extramarital affair - all the while his wife was battling cancer. So, I guess all that tender and loving crap that he showed were just for show. I guess Edwards is just like others. To think - I looked up to both Edwards and Clinton - Edwards ESPECIALLY! I lost my respect for Edwards today.
You think Clinton was bad. He had a reputation for straying ...but at least he didn't fuck anyone when his wife was battling cancer. At least with Clinton, you EXPECT that he cheats.
I am getting to the point where I am molding my own political paths, without having to look up to any of these people. Do you remember that feeling of when you were a kid and realizing your parents aren't perfect or that your hero isn't a hero at all. Yeah, that's my feeling with Edwards now.
Perhaps it's the naivity in me, but I believe you can fuck whomever you want when you're not committing yourself to anyone. But if you have committed yourself, stick with it. Especially when your wife is battling cancer.
In the end, I am not America's Next Bill Clinton or John Edwards. I am going to be better than they were.

In Book of the Dead, Marino's not so secret crush on Scarpetta comes to a head. He reacts badly to news of Scarpetta's engagement to Benton Wesley, and after getting drunk and under the influence of a testosterone drug, he attacks Kay and almost rapes her. His actions lead to a confrontation with Lucy and her almost shooting him, after which Marino disappears. It is unknown if he has killed himself or just runs away as the book ends.
Ah, almost rape!

As for the difference in culture - why marry someone with whom you have nothing in common? Perhaps it's just me, but I wouldn't want to marry someone who doesn't even speak my own language. Marriage is about sharing the same dreams and desires, and if you can't so much as communicate, it becomes kind of hard, huh? Marriage is about an exchange of many things, to include culture, and it becomes a one-way power play when the women of third-world nations are forced to learn our culture and ways of doing things, while at the same time, have to almost abadone their own cultures to fit in. Unless you're blind, you cannot deny how ethnocentric spouse support groups are on any military base.
Mix marriages? Again, don't read into things. I've never said anything about that.

Sex assault plan fails troops
The military, it appears, is slow-learning when it comes to preventing sexual assaults.
In a world where 1 out of 4 women will be sexually assaulted by someone she knows, it is mind-boggling that the military still insists on putting the responsibility of preventing sexual assaults on the potential victims.
In front of the post exchange here [at Camp Victory, Iraq], a big sign reads, "Where is your battle buddy? Prevent Sexual Assaults, Always Have a Buddy" — as if "buddies" cannot sexually assault one another.
Apparently, the military views rape as an act that only happens at night, committed by strangers lurking in the dark. Statistics, however, indicate that just like their civilian counterparts, soldiers will be assaulted in dorms and barracks or on dates, often by someone they know.
Rather than telling women not go out at night by themselves, thereby limiting their access to the public spheres, perhaps it would do the military well to teach men not to rape, and that "no" means "no."
As well, it seems the military’s message of consent is one that’s muddled in good old-fashioned misogyny and distrust of women. Instead of telling soldiers to get consent "in case she claims rape to save her military career," perhaps the military ought to start talking about the plights of rape victims and that no human being should ever face the horrors of rape.
Getting consent, after all, isn’t about preventing oneself from getting in legal troubles, but rather, respecting the wishes of a potential partner and fellow human being.
If military leaders truly wish to stop sexual assaults, they need to revamp the current prevention of sexual assaults program; it miserably fails soldiers. Although they make strange bedfellows, the military could learn a lesson or two about rape prevention from feminism.

Banks, historically, would not give loans to people with bad credit, minimum-wage jobs and a spotty financial history, and the neighborhoods these folks lived in were marked. This was called redlining. People often thought that redlining was racially motivated; however, it actually had everything to do with income and financial history.
