Traveling through Spacetime at the Speed of Light

My name is Angie and/or Lucy. I write about things in my head. I tweet sometimes, also blog at dichotomiesofahybrid.blogspot.com, and you can find me on Facebook if you happen to know my last name. The name of this tumblr means something really dorky and I'll reward anyone who can figure it out.

I thought it was Bush Jr. who said that?

No, definitely Senior.

With part of our national soul [Americans] love technology, because industrialization has led to affluence…With another part of our soul, however, we hate technology, because industrialization has made us dependent on technological systems; as a nation devoted to individualism, we are inclined to rebel against anything that compromises our independence.

I have a feeling Anthropology is going to become my new favorite class.

OH MY GOD I LOVED THAT BOOK. Seriously. I still have mine. About 7 years later.

I have a question for anyone who sees this on tumblr. I am a graduating anthropology major so human behavior and what not is my field of study and there is a particular phenomenon going on in the world I have noticed that confuses me very much.

Why is there such a vast movement for individuals to…

Additionally, practicing pluralism requires one to refrain from applying one’s personal standards to what others “should” or “shouldn’t” do. So I believe you will get more responses to a question such as this if you don’t begin with how confused you are by the choices of others, but rather that you desire to understand the choices of others.

Remember that language and perception of reality are irrevocably intertwined. This is why, I believe, we as humans are invested in labels. In particular, marginalized groups hold dear the concept of self-identifying, as the entire rest of the world attempts to determine their identity and label for them.

My friend’s mother was in a parking lot when her car was hit by another driver. The accident could not have happened if she hadn’t chosen to go to the store that day. She didn’t intend for it to happen, but without her actions, it could not have taken place. Do we say that she caused the accident? No. As far as we’ve come in gender relations in society, there are still rules that women are expected to follow which don’t apply to men. Women should be sweet, modest, “ladylike.” Good girls don’t get drunk, and don’t show too much skin. Good girls don’t flirt. So when something bad happens to a girl, two reactions kick in for people who do not challenge (or even recognize that they believe in) these rules. First, that somebody who broke the rules deserves to be punished. In this case, the punishment of not being a submissive woman is to be forced into submission in a sexual way. The second reaction is that if you just follow the rules, you can shield yourself from monsters. By victim-blaming, we are able to reinforce society’s rules while at the same time believing in an ability to protect ourselves. So when somebody blames the victim of a rape, what they are really saying is that they believe that women should behave in a way that is subservient to men, and when they do not, they deserve to be punished.
