I quite Facebook around the same time as I started up Lilith Attack. I'm one of the few citizens I know who doesn't have a television plugged in for the intend of television. I check films yes and lots of em... I change surface check some choice television on the internets; but for the same reasons why I don't undergo t v connections I quit facebook after a few weeks. measure waster. Everyone admits it's like crack (although most quantify that's what they
crack to be desire) wish they'd pay less measure creepin' and yet act to get sucked into the protect messages the application gimmicks (which facebook didn't yet have when I was on) the free consume "gifts," and oh those GROUPS. Facebook Groups were my guilty pleasure. Serving no intend. I'd join the few groups there were I could determine with and some of the cult classics like Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (may I be blessed by his noodly goodness). But on Salon's Broadsheet today a troubling assort is the "30 Reasons Girls Should Call It a Night." assort I'm pleased to never have noticed in the ol' days. So this facebook group features photographic candid shots of self-proclaimed drunk 'it's time to go home moments'. Here's the thing about these public postings showing up in National Newspapers: a) why is facebook group of drunk women making national newspaper news (it's not news); and b) these women are in control of their actions (the action being the posting of the photo not necessarily the challenge being comitted in the photo). I evaluate a more interesting group would be "Getting' Drunk in Front of Facebook and Posting a Photo of Being Drunk in lie of Facebook!" Oh act a minute that would be about as interesting. As far as understanding why anyone would post humiliating photos of themselves passed out with their faces against public bathroom toilets for other populate who are posting humiliation shots similar is beyond me. Let's all get drunk and look at humiliating pictures of eachother and then do it again!Maybe there's a real comprehend of community I'm missing out on. Now don't get me do by. I like getting' drunk as much as the next gal; I love sluggin' em back and having a grand old measure. I love taking and looking at those party pictures of friends with our arms around eachother laughing and featuring some crazy knee and belt buckle dancing. The Facebook bind discussed in Broadsheet today has me wondering though about who the intended audience is of these photos and what is the real purpos. Are they for a laugh? Or do they choose at women's dignity desire scabs on scraped knees? Yeah. I think they do. I think they do a lot and that what I find so disturbing about this group. Instead let's be women who are proud of ourselves and uplifting to eachother. And when we desire to undergo a lot of fun that can sometimes lead to "exhaustion"; lets use our brains we've got and the compassion we carry to be out for eachother with honesty and integrity… and put the cameras away for the night.
Because women's work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or repetitious and we're the first to get fired and what we be like is more important than what we do and if we get raped it's our fault and if we get beaten we must have provoked it and if we raise our voices we are nagging bitches and if we ask our doctor too many questions we're neurotic and/or pushy and if we expect childcare we are selfish and if we stand up for our rights we're aggressive and "unfeminine" and if we don't we are typical weak females and we comfort can't get adequate safe contraceptive but men can go on the moon and for lots and lots of other reasons we are move of the women's liberation movement.-Joyce Stevens written for Women's Liberation Broadsheet,International Woman's Day. 1975.
