| Desk jobs and a few other jobs completely suck for work-based exercise. I am chained to this desk, day in day out, by a telephone...
Well, technically the telephone is cordless, but I still need to type in the stuff the client is saying... Course, I walk home and stuff after work. And I walk at lunch time. I wouldn't walk late if work went late though -- because as a single female it's generally not a good idea to walk around in the dark. Sure, I should have the right to feel safe, but if anything happens, people would still go "oh, it's her fault for walking at 10pm alone" 
So work, and night offer limitations for me, and I'm a single person who doesn't do a lot. I'm pretty sure other people are busier than I am, and yeah, kids completely screw up the equasion. |

Isn't the Moon Kingdom already there??
|
What? Don't tell me that Sailor Moon isn't real.... 
... dammit, I had something more serious to say, but it's 40 degrees celcius here today and I think my brain is fried. I think it's something that we should be considering, but there's no doubt that its an expensive exercise. Still, it seems that that's where things will head at some point anyway.

Just a bit curious, has anybody outside of Australia heard any Aussie Hip Hop?
|
And if you have, what do you think of it? I come from Adelaide, the same place as the Hilltop Hoods (who came from the Blackwood area of Adelaide). My brother knows one of the MCs, Suffa too. Recently they have won Triple J's "J Award" for the best album of 2006 for their album "The Hard Road". I like the Hilltop Hoods. I'm not big on Hip Hop really, but I don't tend to mind Aussie Hip Hop, and it seems to have matured/improved a lot from when I first started to hear it. I can't relate to American Hip Hop much, but I can certainly relate to lyrics about going out and having a few drinks, and the like 
Just curious if anyone outside of Australia has heard any of it.

I apologise, but I'm not good at talking about the following / not good at putting it into words.
|
Back when I was first raped when I was a teenager, I was blamed for it. The female counsellor I spoke to was fairly good, but the rest of it was a bit... I was blamed for it. In particular the two male police officers that came over to my house one day were very nasty about things, suggesting that I had caused it all / that there was no problem / that I probably deserved it. Victim Blaming is apparently very common in rape cases. I'm just wondering if this is also a mysogynstic thing.... it seems that way to me. Course, I dunno if Victim Blaming is as frequent in the case of male rapes or not. But I do know that people often blame female victims for rape.  And it's not just men but women that blame them too
Anyway, I guess that's my worst experience with things, and it has had a bit of an impact upon me. I wonder if I'd be so irritated by some things (like guys viewing women only as sex objects) if that hadn't happened to me or not.

I'm pretty offended by MathOnNapkins stuff
|
I guess the main reason is because even if you ARE seen as a "victim" there's still a stigma on you for being a "rape victim". And it's not some airy fairy stigma, people are really fucking nasty about it. I don't know many people who would like to be -- on a regular basis -- like to be called a lying whore, a slut, a bitch, lying trash, self-serving shit, whatever. If you were raped or not, admitting it means (at least around here) you will be labelled that shit for the rest of your life. You're seen as a no good lying slut who will sleep with anybody and change your story after. Doesn't matter what the fact is, for some reason people don't want to know that -- maybe they don't want to admit maybe it could happen to them too, and they're not invincible, I dunno -- but people don't like to believe what really happened.. So yes, since the age of 16, I've been a "slut" a "liar" and a "two-faced bitch" just because a (much) older man felt he could do what he wanted with me. And I don't think people should just dismiss that because I'm "saving my reputation" (as what for fuck's sake... a dork??)
Whatever, wish I'd never opened my mouth now.

The thing is, the "facts" are hard to talk about -- do you want me to go into the details of both rapes, or am I a fucking liar whore?
|
And even with my version of the story (in the form of a police statement) in front of them the policemen still called me a slut, told me that I was entirely to blame, and that there was no problem. Thing is, I never dressed or acted like a "slut" in my meaning of the words (does acting like you're terrified of everyone, barely talking to anyone, and wearing big, baggy clothes to hide your figure describe "slutty"??)
I don't think this is the kind of thing women would just lie about either. I've been labelled and blamed for the last decade because of it. I wouldn't wish the labelling or blame upon anybody any more than I'd wish the actual act. In fact, more women DON'T come forward about things because they DON'T WANT TO BE LABELLED AND BLAMED (and thus re-traumatised). So they just blame themselves, and hate themselves, and pretty much.. destroy themselves.

Yes, I absolutely feel that these issues are trivialized, ignored or "made fun of". ABSOLUTELY. And I think it's trivialized, ignored or made fun of by men and women alike. |
I know that some feminists seem to make it worse by getting all over-aggressive and stuff, but some of the stuff they say I don't agree with either. I just don't think it's fair that a friend of mine will be hurt by a woman and I will then have to listen to a rant about how ALL women are EVIL BITCHES. I don't think its fair I'm supposed to take "in good humor" comments from male friends about using women for sex because women aren't "good for anything else". I just don't think it's fair that I can't go to a party with friends, have a few drinks and have a reasonable expectation that I won't be raped. I don't think it's fair that I'm only to be labelled a liar or a dramatist if I am raped and DARE to speak of it. I I don't think it's fair that as a teenaged girl who had never even been kissed, I had my innocence taken away from me, only to be labelled a whore by the people who were supposed to help and protect me, and then have everyone else follow suit. Women are people too, and why don't we treat them that way? Why is it so acceptable to "make light of" these things, to blame them, or to not care? (restricted) |

Originally posted by Ogama Dobe It's not just girls that do this. I have had men do this to me too. All I can say is that human emotion is a difficult thing, and it makes human relationships difficult too. At least she had the sense to know that she was not ready for a relationship rather than try to force one when she's not ready. In the end you have to know yourself, and do what is best for you, otherwise if you force something you're likely to make things bad for everyone.

Cheers guys |
 Course, the timezone difference means that it's now the day after my birthday here, but that's okay, I was a bit of a mess yesterday anyway
I woke up at 10.30am on the Saturday and did not sleep until after 11pm Sunday. But at least I got to celebrate my birthday on my birthday with friends that way -- Celebrating the Saturday Night/Sunday Morning (along with my mother's 50th birthday) means they could celebrate with me, rather than the Sunday night
Just having a quiet day today, watching episodes of House in bed.

That was weird.
|
My phone just rang. My phone has a tendency to be over-quiet, but when I answered it, I couldn't hear anything. So I said "hello" a few times, trying to hear something over the traffic outside my house. All I heard was this creepy, rasping laugh. So I hung up. 
Weird. Hope that doesn't happen again.

That was the assumption.
|
I also hope that it was the only one. It didn't sound like kids. It sounded like a male adult.

 The phone didn't make the "long distance" beeps.
It's somebody in Adelaide

I've never had an evil laugh before.

I get a lot of calls where my brother has accidentally dialled my number while his phone is in his pocket, but that wasn't one of those either. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
