I’ve been using the username/alias “wearwoolf” for a few years now, but it wasn’t until I read Virginia Woolf and when I took a Gender Studies class (adopting the feminist advocacy into my life) that it meant more to me than any of the other ones I’ve kept. While my old Yahoo! Messenger username “diaperhombre”, has an interesting story involving me and of course, a diaper, this one’s my favorite. At first it was – an apparently unoriginal – play on words, on wearing wool and wolf: my attempt at poetry (blah blah blah the dichotomy in us to act as the sheep as well as the wolf). Apart from its adding more meaning to the name, Virginia Woolf’s death anniversary is also coming up and as a budding feminist, I’d like to pay her homage.
I spent the whole day on the coding and so this short post is a result of my impatience (and my post-rock-climbing aching body). I couldn’t figure out the code for one of the links, but Joe helped me with it and now the link back to the main page (on the right) is blue!
If you are interested in Women’s issues as well as feminism, here are some interesting articles that have kept me awake:
Sex offenders (AKA Rapists) vs. Lads’ Mags
Women’s Day 2012: (No) Progress Report
Don’t be scared of the F-word. It’s more than what you think it is.
