Admitting My Biases

Posted by DJ Nelson on November 18th, 2009

I talk a great deal about not labeling every woman who expresses that women should be treated like human beings as some vile, evil, man-hating, hussy.

It just never makes sense to me that you can’t say anything logical without someone saying “oh you are a feminist” are rolling their eyes.

Women are not sex objects- “Ugh, you are a feminist”

That rape t-shirt is not funny “Quit being such a feminist”

That double standard make no sense “Oh you are one of those fembots”

But I just realized that I do something very similar, and it’s strange to admit it.

Interesting Views for the Mom to Be

Posted by DJ Nelson on November 11th, 2009

Back in June I shared a little insight into my fascination with pregnancy and childbirth. It’s amazing what information you can find if you step outside the box a little, and I’m surprised that this topic has held my interest for well over a year.

That being said, here’s are some of the most interesting reads I’ve come across lately.

Hospitals Put Counter-Pressure on Doulas During Flu Season

Is the flu shot causing miscarriages?

I’m sorry but this is just too creepy

No means no…even while in labor

Foolish Girls Make Foolish Women

Posted by DJ Nelson on November 7th, 2009

Ok, it’s really time to stop all the brainwashing and get a reality check.

Every book we read, tv show we watch, commercial we see, and magazine we flip through impacts the way we view the world. I don’t understand how anyone can deny this fact, but there’s this attitude floating around that “there is nothing impacting my views. Nothing influences the way I think at all.”

Case in point, my 2007 post about Bratz dolls being a bad influence.

It’s still getting comments, and unfortunately some of them are filled with some the most ridiculous things I’ve ever read.

It’s time for a pop culture detox to happen in this society. I am seriously concerned about what type of women our young girls are going to grow up to be.

I see a society of scantily clad, foolish women, with foul mouths who can’t think for themselves because they’ve been brainwashed; yet at the same time they think they are so intelligent and above being influenced by anything other than their own thoughts.

Scary.

And very frustrating.

Strip Searches Are Not Okay

Posted by DJ Nelson on October 15th, 2009

Back in 2007 I wrote a post about high school girls being asked if they were menstruating because purses weren’t allowed unless you it was your time of the month.

I was disgusted and made a flip comment about breast checks being next.

Be careful what you say.

A reader brought it to my attention that very notion has come true.

Back in June, The Supreme Court ruled that Arizona school officials violated a girls rights by strip searching her for prescription-strength ibuprofen.

Wow, how traumatizing for anyone, let alone a 13 year old.

I previously wrote about this case when theĀ  Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals originally found that the school was within it’s rights.

That was shocking.
