"We bring it on ourselves"
oh dear. well, this post will be in two halves. ill make the first half the more sane, entertaining (well... you know) half, and the second half the more angsty half! that way, people dont have to read it! ^_^
Ok! Some may recognise the quote from at the title of this post! It came up recentley in the replies to Michelle's post about her issue with guys falling for her! pesky things we males apparently! :) It was Mike (more commonly known as 4R63NB4|2) who first raised the issue! Much restec-P to Mike for saying that, because it applies to BOTH halves of my post!
The first half is a rant! ARGH! get ready! psyche up! CHHEEEAARGE!
Today was the first day back at Uni. The first day of a new semester! :) joy! So, first subject up? EDUC3079: Teacher's Work in a Contemporary Context. Approached with much trepidation... and good ol Educ department didnt let us down.
Our lecturer is a FEMINAZI! you know the type? Everything is the fault of males.
Now, I realise that there has been repression of females for the last few thousand years (:P) but why do WE FEW MALES (about 1:4 ratio)in the teaching area have to bare all the burden of the guilt and shame and ridicule? WHy is she taking it out on us? oh.. i remember... ITS BECAUSE WE HAVE A ... anyway.
Ahem.. ^_^ now to use a slightly more civil tone!
Seriously, this is going to be a LONG semester. Im not sure what her problem is, but she definately eggs the rest of the female population on into making males feel bad.
And they love the opportunity. there are girls and women all over the class putting their hand up to say something that makes all the rest of the girls feel more justified in their 'right-ness' and designed to make males cringe with guilt.
We cant win.. she showed some statistics on the powerpoint that compared the genders in teaching. First in Admin (where it showed a big increase in the number of females over the last 3 years, but not enough..) and then in normal teaching profession where female numbers have increased over the last three years so that they now outnumber males 11,000 to 4,000. You would think that she was saying this was a good thing. But no. this is a bad thing, and its the males faults somehow. Dont ask me why, because Im a male chauvanist and i cant think for myself!
Skimming over the reccomended readings for each week's topics, i glance down at the 'gender in education' week. Had a look at the books reccomended and, low and behold... ALL ARE WRITTEN BY FEMALES, ON THE TOPIC OF GENDER DISCRIMINATION! ARGH! how is this equality?
Oh, and talking about equality, she stressed in the lecture that there is so much discrimination in the system, and how we should all treat eachother equally, wethere we are African, Asian, or Arabian etc, Straight or Gay. And this is where she said the only nice things about males. She has no problem with Homosexual males. If we are gay we deserve respect and equal treatment! but Heterosexual white males are the spawn of the devil, so she has led me to believe, and so she has led most of the females in the class to believe.
There is a crisis with the lack of male teachers at the moment, (I wonder why) and the government is trying despereately to try and get more males in the system. So what does the lecturer think of this? "Oh, we dont really need more males in the system. The young boys dont need male role models, we're trying to promote equality in the system!"
We're thinking of making T-shirts with a target on the front and 'MALE' on the back.
So, in summary.. will be a very interesting semester of education. :P
POST HALF THE SECOND
(in which there is much ado about angsty stuff.. feel free to look away now!)
So, the title was "We bring this on ourselves" And we do. This half of the post is much truer to the original context of this comment.
We bring it on ourselves, falling for girls, but that doesnt mean it still doesnt hurt, or feel bad.
At least in my case it wasnt a case of 'mistaken' affections.. i know that she was pursuing me at one stage (she has said as much). It was unfortunate however, that when i started to feel about her, that she started to feel NOT that way. leaving me in the awkward situation of unrequited affections, which, to my disgust, i STILL have. Man, twas only a couple of weeks, and I still have it bad! :P
Heard of Sense-Memory-assosciation? where a certain smell, or song will remind you of something? (or someone) can i just say that it sucks big time.
Ok, Im going to stop Bitching now.
Onto more happier matters! Gettting excited! Mike is going to Come to Brisbane! heh heh heh! we'll have to arrange something... hmmm 28th to 4th... Ill start checking out whats on.. nothing really stands out.. youll have missed the EKKA (Exhibition/show), thats on in Mid August... but im sure there'll be sometin on! :)
Anyhoo! thats enough from this evil evil male, who is responsible for every injustice perpetrated on females over the last few millenia!
THis is SAM, signing out!
