Are we being honest yet
Dec. 21st, 2006 07:25 pmso I've come out of hibernation and decided to start writing my political blog again. and i'm thinking well how honest do i want to be? how much of the truth do I want to tell,? how outspoken do I want to be when I know I might well get flamed for it,? Part of this is because I hooked up with a feminist group local to me who I know read a lot of the blogs i read and who dont all agree with me on a whole bunch of stuff. Its not that I mind people disagreeing with me, far from it, its that I mind loosing friends over it. (or potential friends anyway). And then theres the stuff about what is it apropriate to say anyway, i want to talk about my fucked up life because actualy it is really relevant to feminism, maybe i want to talk about being multiple, but i think disussing these things will make people think i am less creddible, less worth listening to, on this blog I generaly write whatever I like and damn it what people think but thats because It is my splurge place, and if people get pissed with me whatever, anyway only three of line people read this and they know me realy well and either agree with me or deall with the fact they dont matureley, but there seems to be something about the internet where people arent very good at reading what you actualy said they just read what they think you said or what they want you to have said so they can dissagree with you. also i think i have a thing where if someone comes here and tells me I'm talking crap I'm like, yeah whatever, but on my other blogg i will put in a lot more time and effort to refute them
And I dont fit anywhere really I call myself a radical feminist because thats what I see myself as but that doesnt mean I am always aligned with everything other women who also consider themselves radical feminists beleive in. But that seems to bother people a whole lot more than it bothers me, I know what i think is right and in my life I will try to adhere to it but I'm not going to disown a woman because she doesnt agree with me. Often there seems to be this thing where if you dont think exactly the same as someone else you cant be in the club, cant be fighting to end oppression cant be working together to end opression, doesnt that mean that no one will work together in the end? because no two peolple have exactly the same political views as each other surely.
