Ears. Perking up.

Up Front: Say When, in reply to Tamsin6,
Don't we all struggle with it? I think women are very unkind to themselves and to each other, and we just need to cut that shit out. Pertinent to the discussion on feminism of course.

My mother mostly buys her books, J, and she mostly uses Baci. Incidentally, the guy that owns it, if he still does, is a tremendous skin specialist. Used him for a couple of nasty growths.

I'm not scary. Really I'm not. I'm just very excited that some of my favourite people will all be in the same place at the same time. I work with children for a living so it is my professional responsibility to find the joy in everything. Okay? Not scary joy, appropriate joy, mind.

I'm sad about it, but I don't honestly know when I last bought a book for myself. I'm such an insane library user - I guess because I read so fast, it would seem a waste to spend all that money on a book, only to finish it a couple of days later. Friends of mine buy books by the truckload, but prefer to use independent booksellers, and there's also the fact that people can often buy books from Amazon and get them shipped cheaper than actually buying the same book in NZ. If I do want to buy a book, I do tend to go in the smaller places. I'm much like you, Craig. I do like to go somewhere where the staff are nice, and they know their stuff inside and out.

OMG - SO wear your speedos. Just be aware that there will be children present - yours included - so y'know, you might want to tuck those balls away neatly.

You are a wondrous woman. Here was I thinking about how to answer that question, and bang! Perfect.

Up Front: Say When, in reply to Lilith __,
It's very funny, Lilith, because I read that most recent post, and I thought "This shit is still going on 30 years later?". Because when I was part of the Unifems, that was kind of how the dialogues went, alot of the time. Which is why I left.

Of course, feminism is a political movement, Steven. But I'm one of those people who believes that the political is personal, and vice versa.
