So I got to college about two weeks ago and Now it seems I've lost touch with current events, pop culture and all the things college students are supposed to know (it's coded into their DNA from what the pop culture gods on TV say). So I have very little to write about in the blogger sense. So I saw shoot 'em up Sunday night (I ditched the VMA's because there wasn't enough stuff to laugh at.)It was pretty impressive in the action scenes...actually I loved though whole thing. I would call it Grindhouse-esque except not as smart...but cheeky, and dirty, and sooo very much fun.
I was reading someone's survey about how we view crime drama shows and how we respond to women being abused in real life and it was pretty disturbing, at least for me it was and i started to think about what the crime drama shows focus on and it seems women get raped but instead of it being just rape it's a twist on she was with him and she was stalking him and it was actually just rough sex or something entertaining though vilifying (which is NOT always the case there are plenty of episodes of all those shows where they show the women as a victim and it's not her fault etc...but then she's just a victim dead or alive with very little say in her own trial). So when I opened my Women's America history text (edited by Kerber)and found a section of her introduction where she hits on ideas of sexuality and social gender construct and how in the ninetieth century "Sensuality was attached to poor or "darker" women who by definition "invited" mens advances." (Introduction pg 10)...It makes me wonder how technology can change, as can our clothing but do we ever really change our mindset?
Ok so that just popped up in my head and now I'm getting distracted by other things...so more on TV and social ideals later!
