Fucking done:

Grill, Ouzo, and Cigars on my patio tonight. Too bad all my friends and fam are busy, however some quiet "me time" is nice as well.

One of the disadvantages of having a crazy ass heterodox schedual, it's really tough to go out with people sometimes.

Okay. My last Final Exam is tomorrow. Then I am totally done with the semester and quite possible done with classes for the reast of my life. That's kind of a sad thought, since my final exam is on a topic I don't really care about. But whatever. Time to give it one last push.

NO. SLEEP. TILL. FINALS!

#1. I would actually dig seeing a feminism reading list. do you mind sharing?

We cannot attach pdfs can we? If we can let me know

The List (imagine it is a bloody horror movie like Carrie):

A Sentimentalistʼs Defense of Contempt, Shame & Disdain - Kate Abramson

Against Marriage and Motherhood - Claudia Card

The Second Sex - Simone De Beauvoir

Should There Only Be Two Sexes? - Anne Fausto Sterling

The Culture of Romance - Shulasmith Firestone

Marriage and Love - Emma Goldman

Sexual Politics - Kate Millett

Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence - Adrienne Rich

On Being the Object of Property - Patricia J. Williams

Impartial Respect and Natural Interest - Sabina Lovibond

Could It be Worth Thinking About Kant on Sex and Marriage? - Barbara Herman (read below for lulz at the feminists)

"Sexual union (commercium sexuale) is the reciprocal use that one human being makes of the sexual organs and capacities of another (usus membrorum et facultatum sexualium alterius). This is either a natural use (by which procreation of a being of the same kind is possible) or an unnatural use, and unnatural use takes place either with a person of the same sex or with an animal of nonhuman species. Since such a transgression of laws, called unnatural (crimina carnis contra naturam) or also unmentionable vices, do wrong to humanity in our own person, there are no limitations or exceptions whatsoever that can save them from being repudiated completely."

Immanuel Kant, Practical Philosophy "The Metaphysics of Morals," §24, trans. & ed. by Mary J. Gregor (Cambridge University Press: 1996 [1797]) p. 427

lol

there were a few others, but ...

you know what is fucked up? We didn't even read Mary Wollenscraft's Vindication of the Rights of Women... I would have read that. She speaks of the association of ideas, not slut shaming.

#2. congrats on the grades! except latin. but i know what that is like. i took 2 years of latin in high school. i thought it would be an extended lesson in history--it was an extended lesson in pain. :( i'm guessing you need to do this for a philosophy degree? will you have to do ancient greek too?

Thanks! I've still got a 3.0 GPA even with a D in latin! So, it's all good.

Latin, I took because you do not have to speak it and English is like 75% Latin. It was waaayyyy harder than I thought going in. I purused the grad courses for philosophy and you do need latin and/or greek and/or Hebrew proficiency for some of the classes. F that. There are plenty of translations of Hutchinson, Bacon, Cicero, and Plato et al for me. Latin was infintely valuable for understanding language syntax. I learned more about english in latin ... than in english class...

Schopnhauer said that Latin is what tied Europe together in a cosmopolitan fashion. I feel cheated that we are not ALL taught Latin or greek in elementary school like it used to be. It used to be the language of the learned until about 1850ish. Up until 1960 you HAD to KNOW latin in order to get into Oxford at all.

Schopenhauer asks if writers that do not write in Latin are "writing for tailors or cobblers?" hahahaha

PS* the only thing i remember from latin was that it really pissed off the girls in my class when a friend purposefully mistranslated "feminae sunt in via" as "the women are in the way" (more correct translation: the women are in the road).

haha, feminists...

I took espanol and latin in high school. the only latin I remembered was "Quid Facit?" (for obvious reasons we though facit was a funny word in 9th grade); "what is he/she/it doing?"

...teneor patriae nec legibus ullis. - Vergil, Aenied; Book II line 159

"I am possessed not by any laws of the country."

Aristophanes,

This post comes to you in 3 parts.

#1. I would actually dig seeing a feminism reading list. do you mind sharing?

#2. congrats on the grades! except latin. but i know what that is like. i took 2 years of latin in high school. i thought it would be an extended lesson in history--it was an extended lesson in pain. :( i'm guessing you need to do this for a philosophy degree? will you have to do ancient greek too?

#3. i always take "go h.a.m." to mean to work your ass off. of course, i didn't start using the term until i heard it in a gorilla zoe song:

The slang term 'go ham' means to respond violently to someone who disrespects you. For instance: "That dude dissed your mom, go ham on him!"

Yeah, the semester is almost over and two professors have yet to finish grading our midterms.

I'm amazed at how long it takes professor to grade exams nad papers.
