The Vacation is over

No blogging for a while. I needed the break. And now, I am caught back up into the fury.

I recently was lucky enough to have had my responsibilities on the Engineering Council I was volunteering for terminated. This was because my term, or time in, had finally expired and there was an election to replace me and the others on the council.

Now, the problem I have is that the council currently taking care of matters is absofrigginloutely mentally deranged. I am a girl in Engineering. Okay. There are also other girls at my school in Engineering. Ok. So, then why the hell would there be a sexual harassment case being filed against those new council members?

I will tell you. It is because some of them need to grow some cahones, some need to tone themselves down and recognize how you are supposed to respect girls, and how to respect themselves in general. In the words of Marilyn Waring, "when men use their power to treat women sexually in a non-sexual context, they interfere with women's right to work, to learn, to be treated as equal and respected participants in public life".

I am not really a feminist, but I mean, we are in 2006...who still pulls out the harassment bullshit in this day and age? I think the reason why I am the most upset is because the guys involved didn't really care and they don't see a problem with it. And that really makes me sad. They were *supposed* to have meeting to fix this mess, and it got cancelled.

So, the bottom line is that I am really sad that this has gone down. And I am even more upset at the fact that no one seems to gives a shit. The girls do, but the guys.....???
