Following on from my last post I have been thinking around the issue of feminism and pondering the confusion as to what equality actually means and what it should mean. Does feminism equate with only womens' rights or with fairness and equality between the sexes? I think there is a sense of injustice in a lot of young males in that women seem to get away with things that they don't...that they have the best of all worlds. From the female point of view women have the right to do as men do eg hit on someone if you fancy them.

But there is so much confusion. I was told of an ugly incident that took place in student halls this week where a mixed group were laying into one guy for not fitting in.His girlfriend emerged wrapped in a towel and slapped one of the students who had been baiting him.The student hit her back and was bundled away by his girlfriend who said "You don't hit girls" ....Do you hit girls if they hit you?

In the interests of research I made an attempt to watch " loose women" but was bored stiff after 5 minutes. I felt like I was the only sober person at a hen party.I hate panels at the best of times.

Thinking around our performance and how to turn our musings, anecdotes and stories into more than an aural experience...thinking how often you see something without hearing what is being said...and hear things without being able to STARE...a real advantage to watching a performance is that you can STARE at people...need to provide something inappropriate that is worth staring at...hmm...will ponder this and get back to you!
