Woke up thinking about Bob Dylan and oral sex. Ever wonder why cock-sucker and pussy-eater have completely different connotations?

Just to go on speaking of genitalia, I think everybody needs to get over theirs. God is a man AND a women--a hermaphrodite, literally. I mean, if He/She made both man and women--and in my world He/She did--then it only makes sense that He/She would have both masculine and feminine qualities and be able to embody both. Strictly speaking, though, God is a spirit and has no physical body and therefore has no genitalia anyway so nobody can really define Him/Her as any particular sex, but people being people and having a pathological obsession with gender roles, I suppose He/She has to be defined as one of the two. The only reason I think God is referred to most often as He is because when The Torah and the Bible were written, people were even less comfortable with the idea of an intersexed and/or part-female deity than they are now, which is very odd considering how many goddesses there are in all the religions of the ancient world, and the Greeks even had a version of the creation story were men and women were originally created as one entity, but Aphrodite or somebody was jealous of their unity or something and seperated them. :/

My mind is a bit of a river at the moment--everything flowing out at once.

I'm taking a women's studies course this semester. At first, I was really nervous because I figured I'd be surrounded by a bunch of stereo-typical angry, religion-hating, Planned Parenthood-worshipping feminists, but that's really not how it is at all. I relate to my teacher a lot more than I thought I would. She's a fun, eclectic older white women with dreadlocks who vaguely resembles Professor Trawlawny(sp?) and teaches a women's self-defense class. She's married and is a doting grandmother.She's as loving and as fun and as understanding as any women, really. I'm still a bit nervous about what will happen when we start learning about abortion and expressing our views on it, but I at least feel that my views will be respected now.

I just wish there was room for feminists in the feminist movement who believe in equality of the sexes but who don't think equality should be synomous(sp?) with sameness and shouldn't be built on pills and abortion and anger and hatred. That said, while my beliefs about abortion are parallel with those of the Catholic church, I do approve of contraceptives. In my opinion, a person is a person from the moment of conception, not from the moment of erection. There's a difference between fetuses/babies and sperm/bacteria. Plus, so far all the accounts of abortion written from the female point of view have been filled with regret and sorrow, but none of the accounts of females using contraceptives; and there are forms of birth control that the Catholic Church does condone. I think it's called Natural Family Planning? Look it up. It's pretty interesting.

Anyway, what I'm trying is I wish there was a middle ground, some way I could reconcile my feminist beliefs with my Catholic ones, but there doesn't appear to be. lol I guess I'm going to be the first Jesus Freak Feminist? I don't know. There's gotta be a better way to word that. XD Suggestions for a better name?
