I am trying to think up questions to ask women if I ever had a feminist conference. Or perhaps I could slip them into conversation. I mean if I was asking someone casually, I could get the kind of response I wanted out of them. I would change the questions and make them more specific. I might try to ask both genders because men face injustice too with gender roles. I kind of want to make a zine with my results.
These are some possible questions that I will most likely change. I will come up with more too.
1. During sex with your partner do you focus on your pleasure as well as your partner's? If not so much how can you work on that?
2. How do you view other women? For example do you ever view women negatively out of jealousy? If so how can you work on that?
3. Do you feel you have an adequate female community? Do you think it's necessary to have one? What are the benefits?
4. Do you ever feel you validify one gender's opinion over the other?
5. Do you ever feel limited by your gender? Have you faced any blatant sexism?
Any ideas from anyone? I would love to know. You can criticize the hell out of my questions if you want!

Bitter Cynicalness
I have been kind of avoiding political content in a way because I just know I don't have the energy to try to create change. I am trying to just live life day to day and find meaning in it really and to help someone out kind of seems unlikely to me. Lately I have been staying in reading thinking that tomorrow I will probably go out and do something. I just have no community outside my boyfriend, and I can't completely rely on my boyfriend.
I am a total organizer at heart, but I don't really know anyone who would come to my events. I really want to have a zine party in which people came together and made a zine together, but I don't know anyone who would really dig that. If it worked I could have themes that might stimulate discussion. I think it would be cool to just have themed discussions like feminism and cultural identity, but I know absolutely no one would dig that. I always want to talk about feminism with other girls, but most girls don't identify with feminists. They think they are unnecessary and radical. But most girls I know have a female community and don't talk to many boys except maybe their boyfriends.
I hate the weekends because then my parents are home and they watch every single move of mine. I don't want to leave because then I have to explain where I am going and sometimes I don't know and I might come back in half an hour or 5 hours. I am starting to become really bitter and cynical. I mean what do you expect sitting in and reading all day?
I miss living with Dani because even though sometimes it was annoying, I had someone to hang out with other than myself and we went out and did things. Sometimes she kind of makes me feel like shit though. She has an air of not really caring. So sometimes I feel like it's a chore of her to talk to me. Well anyways it enforced my idea that community living is the way to go.
One of my old friends is kind of almost trying to talk to me. It's almost as if she vainly just wants to be in my head rather than actually talking to me. That or she expects me to entertain her. I probably could if she gave me more than five seconds until she dismissed me. I mean I know if I just constantly told her how amazing she was, she would adore me for maybe a week. But been there. Done that. Fuck straight girls posing as bisexuals for attention.
