marguerite_kruxIt just strikes me how incredibly pretty my page is. Thanks, Dana! ;)
I feel so soothed being here. And I need soothing. Just finished my Soc exam and whaddaya know, one of the essays I prepared wasn't even on it. DAMN IT. Out of the seven questions, they would pick one that I had done to scrap from the final list. *sniffles*
And it was the funnest topic too, it was about feminism and how the government sucks and men are evil. I would have had so much FUN doing that. I even had two pages all printed and memorized. Damn anti-fems are trying to blame fems for the low fertility rate in Australia [who'da thunk I'd find an anti-group that didn't appeal to me? I'm already anti-s4, anti-Carter, anti-Keller...]
Apparently we're below population replacement level, which, meh- not enough to convince me I want a kid. And its totally Howard's fault for cutting down on child-care centers and making it more difficult to access support and forcing women out of the workforce to take care of the kids. One of his diabolical deeds was to offer a rebate, but only if the combined income was this ridiculously low level and which basically meant one of the parents had to quit in order to meet the requirement for the rebate, otherwise they were screwed with working full time and child-care costs and no relief.
I didn't really have an opinion on him before, but when I was doing this essay at 2am this morning, it occurred to me that I really don't like him. I don't think I'm going to vote for him anymore, so take *that*, sucker. Sure, I don't really want kids so child-care availability means nothing to me, but it's offensive that he's actually trying to get women to stay at home and be brood mares and pop out babies to fill up the population quota. Screw him. I ain't having kids. It makes me feel squicky just thinking that he has such old-fashioned view of women. This is our PM, folks. And he thinks we're just here to reproduce and cook and clean. Ack. If there were a death penalty for not meeting his requirements of women, I'd be so executed by now. I can cook rice, that's it! [I don't think boiling water and fixing toast counts as food, does it?] And I'm naughty, I've used the exams as an excuse to get out of vacuuming for the past three weeks. As for children, EEEIIIIKKK!
Think of McKay and kids. I'd be blustering, angry, petty...not the best candidate for babysitter, 'kay? Let's leave it at that.
