| Bio: | School: I'm a recent graduate with an Hon.B.A. from the University of Toronto, with a major in Women's Studies and two minors in Sociology and Classical Civilizations.
Work: I work for a youth shelter as a front line youth worker and case manager, and the Teen Sex Information Program at Planned Parenthood, and I volunteer with another program at PPT and in a grade two classroom.
Music: I like music a lot and I like lots of different music! I especially like punk and hardcore, or at least those are the shows I find myself at a lot of the time.
Life: I'm married to this dude, and I think he's kinda swell.
We have two cats and two pugs.
We recently started a record label called LowDown Records, so check us out.
Other important things to know about me, especially before adding me or asking me to add you:
- I am a feminist. To me, this includes being anti-racist, anti-essentialist, anti-colonial, anti-imperialist, sex-positive, queer-positive, anti-transphobic, anti-homophobic, anti-classist, anti-ableist, fat-positive, very left wing, and pro-choice. It also includes more than just theory, such as actual activism and action.
- I am a huge baseball fan and I love going to Jays games
- I am very emotional and I don't really think this is a bad thing.
- I think sarcasm is the highest form of humor.
- I hate willful ignorance, general douchebaggery, hypocrisy, and 'fakeness', the latter being in anything from people to music.
- Low-Down.
My babies!!!
 
 
P.S.
Oh yeah...

"A feminist is a person who answers "yes" to the question, "Are women human?" Feminism is not about whether women are better than, worse than or identical with men. And it's certainly not about trading personal liberty--abortion, divorce, sexual self-expression--for social protection as wives and mothers, as pro-life feminists propose. It's about justice, fairness, and access to the broad range of human experience. It's about women consulting their own well-being and being judged as individuals rather than as members of a class
with one personality, one social function, one road to happiness. It's about women having intrinsic value as persons rather than contingent value as a means to an end for others: fetuses, children, the "family," men."
--- Katha Pollitt
"Feminism is the political theory and practice that struggles to free all women: women of color, working-class women, poor women, disabled women, lesbians, old women-as well as white, economically privileged, heterosexual women."
--- Barbara Smith
"It is not our differences that divide us. it is our inability to recognize, accept & celebrate those differences."
--- Audre Lorde
"When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak."
--- Audre Lorde
"The moment we choose to love we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others."
--- bell hooks
"People call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat."
--- Rebecca West (1892-1983)
"If feminism is a movement to end sexist oppression and depriving females of reproductive rights is a form of sexist oppression, then one cannot be anti-choice and be feminist. A woman can insist she would never choose to have an abortion while affirming her support of the right of women to choose and still be an advocate of feminist politics. She cannot be anti-abortion and an advocate of feminism."
--- bell hooks
"As all advocates of feminist politics know most people do not understand sexism or if they do they think it is not a problem. Masses of people think that feminism is always and only about women seeking to be equal to men. And a huge majority of these folks think feminism is anti-male. Their misunderstanding of feminist politics reflects the reality that most folks learn about feminism from patriarchal mass media."
--- bell hooks
"If you are trying to transform a brutalized society into one where people can live in dignity and hope, you begin with the empowering of the most powerless. You build from the ground up."
--- Adrienne Rich
Over three quarters of anti-abortion leaders are men. 100% of them will never be pregnant.
