- in feminism, jazzypanflutes says:
"a doctrine that advocates equal rights for women" is one definition of feminism, but one of my favorite, less official definitions, is "the radical notion that women are people." I don't think the term "feminist" places barriers--not any more so than ignoring the fact that the system places barriers between women and their goals. Sure, I can want something and work for it, but if a system wants me to fail it may work equally hard to prevent me from getting it. It's the same with any group of people who've been historically oppressed; that's why I consider feminism one aspect of humanism (along with the fact that women ARE humans, but let's not split hairs ;))

Peppermint.
Speaking of tea snobbery, I kind of wish peppermint and chamomile weren't lumped into the same category... chamomile's okay, but there's a pretty big difference! :) But yes, peppermint 70% of the time and Earl Grey 30% of the time, give or take certain situations (i.e. yarrow or cedar when I'm sick and don't have peppermint around, or Sleepytime when I'm restless, or good ol' English Breakfast just for funsies).Apr 28, 2008 04:49 AM - in dill pickle potato chips, jazzypanflutes says:
I don't really like Pringles, but the Old Dutch brand (I think they're only available in the midwestern US) dill pickle potato chips--which have been around for years, thankyouverymuch;)--aren't bad!

Baba ghanouj! I've been really craving both that and some kind of curry lately. Or you could make a grilled aubergine curry. :D Or, you could draw faces on them and use them as vegetable puppets, or fry them, or make some kind of casserole, or put them on a sandwich...
