The Comment Tree: Am I A Feminist?
http://thecommenttree.blogspot.com/2011/10/am-i-feminist.html
Maybe one day I'll learn to form an opinion. And start a blog. Sunday, 9 October 2011. Am I A Feminist? I often hear women asked, "So are you a feminist? Personally I wouldn't know how to answer that question, mainly because I don't know what the genuine meaning is anymore. It has been blurred to extremes, from the "I will never cook for a man", to "Beyonce can crotch-dance in her hot pants because girls run the world". Say what? So am I a feminist? 1) Feminists who hate men; and. This is about freedom o...

Maybe one day I'll learn to form an opinion. And start a blog. Friday, 7 September 2012. What Women Deal With. An incident happened a couple of months back which I considered blogging about, but instead decided to let it go. That is, until a friend shared someone else's story with me - one that made me realise this is happening all the time, and that perhaps more of us need to share our stories.

As for the anti-cycling BBC viewers and their comments, I have to say one thing. THERE IS NO ROAD TAX. Road tax was abolished in 1937. Yes, 1937. At the end of the day it's important to get the facts right before building a battleground. We all pay for roads, and we all must share them. More helpful info here: http:/ ipayroadtax.com/.

The Comment Tree: The Active Woman
http://thecommenttree.blogspot.com/2012/03/active-woman.html
Maybe one day I'll learn to form an opinion. And start a blog. Friday, 9 March 2012. Recently, Linda Grant. Collected a staggering number of stories on Twitter, revealing first-hand sexism by women across generations. It seems some of the attitudes bandied about decades ago are still alive and well today. Women still get asked about their relationship status in job interviews. And get harassed on the street. I realised that most of mine seemed to revolve around the same topic. Sports retail. 8220;Oh I've...

The Comment Tree: October 2010

Maybe one day I'll learn to form an opinion. And start a blog. Thursday, 14 October 2010. Get outta here. Running, as far as I've always been concerned, was something crazy people did - the kind of people who swim outdoors in winter and eat raw eggs. I wasn't one of those people. I've always hated running. Yet, because I hated running so much, I always wanted to run a half marathon. I like a challenge. Then in May this year, I heard that the brilliant Muireann (aka Bangs and a Bun. This is how it went.

My heart breaks again today for Christchurch, and my thoughts go out to everyone who has been affected. I feel grateful that I am flying home to New Zealand in a few days for a wedding, because right now I want to give my homeland a hug, and to stand on my native soil. Kia kaha, Christchurch, we are all here for you. Thursday, 10 February 2011.

The Comment Tree: December 2010
http://thecommenttree.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Maybe one day I'll learn to form an opinion. And start a blog. Wednesday, 1 December 2010. Bloggers - how often do you get anonymous and abusive comments posted on your blogs? And to the rest of you - how many times have you read an article or blog post and found a nasty comment posted by "Anon"? Those kinds of comments, I've learned, are called "trolls". Fitting really. I read about this on the New York times website. After the article (written by one of their own staff) was shared by Facebook. It seems...

The Comment Tree: But Is It News?
http://thecommenttree.blogspot.com/2012/10/but-is-it-news.html
Maybe one day I'll learn to form an opinion. And start a blog. Friday, 5 October 2012. But Is It News? I often wonder: how much of news is actually news, and how much of it is nosiness? A big serving of salacious detail to feed our bawdy curiosity? So long have I pondered this, that this post has been mentally written for a long time. After this morning's appalling journalism practices by Kay Burley on SkyNews. I decided it was time I got around to putting it into words. Think about the situation with ph...

https://folketbyggerlandet.wordpress.com/author/denvassaeggen
Om folket vill så bygger folket landet. Jag var 12 år. Men egentligen började det redan när jag var nio och mina bröst började växa. Redan när jag var nio visste jag att gömma mig, ta på mig en stor tröja för att dölja det som började växa. Låta axlarna sjunka ihop. Synas lite mindre. För att slippa kommentarerna. Jag är 39 år. Upplevelserna är fortfarande fastetsade i mitt minne. Känslorna kommer tillbaka. Paniken. Utsattheten. Hjälplösheten. Skulden. Trasiga människor och spruckna själar. Är en blogg j...

Om folket vill så bygger folket landet. Trasiga människor och spruckna själar. Är en blogg jag följer mycket på grund av att en av deras skribenter är en god vän till mig, men givetvis också för att jag är väldigt intresserad av böcker och lästips alltid är välkomna. Nu skall denna blogg som sagt inte bli en bokblogg men då det av olika skäl inte blivit något politiskt bloggande under en lång tid så tänkte jag att jag skulle delta i veckans utmaning. Temat på kulturkollobloggen denna vecka är. I båda böc...
