School page is up
Kill 9, my school webpage, is finally up! There’s nothing on it but the bare design, but it’s up. Major triumph for me. I blame the lack of content solely on UH– all my [engineering/math/science]classes are ridiculously not-engaging. And I reserve that page for engaging school content; at least for now. So, I blame that lack of content on UH. You should too.
I’m looking at a clever piece of trash here, a hazardous material mock dossier on women, which lists their ‘properties’ and propensities for reaction. I’m not female [really, I’m male :)], and *I* find it offensive. My guess is that is because of three things: one of my [male] professors at school is always pontificating on how gender bias in communication is harmful to both the speaker and the listener, an article I read by Douglas Hofstadler equating in a fictional manner, gender bias to racial bias (not a pretty picture), and a book I started to read by a lesbian feminist (!) which, among worst trues, referred to the Universe of Discourse as the paternal universal of discourse. Hmmm… *pud*, I wonder what she was trying to say. Lately, I’ve been trying to censor myself; when I’m in a car and a driver in an adjacent car does something stupid, for instance, I try to think in terms of a female, rather than male, driver. Surprising how ingrained assumptions can be.
Anyway, visit my website. I have two articles for the blog which I did last night, so I’ll upload them sometime soon. One is relatively long and passionate :). Visit the school site
