How did you spend your Mothers Day?

Well I (along with 45,000 of my closest friends) braved the wind and the cold to run and walk in the 15th annual Mother’s Day Classic in beautiful Melbourne. My powerhouse sister ran the 8kms in less that 45 mins. My other sister walked the 8 kms with one of her daughters and my and 2 nieces ran the 4 kms. My nieces ran in a great time, both under 30 mins. It took me 33:56 to cross the line, but I ran the entire way and had never before  run that far without stopping so I feel pretty good about my achievement. When I look back a few months at my inability to run longer that 3 minutes without feeling like I was going to collapse by the side of the road, I think I’ve done ok. Hopefully, when I look back in another few months time at this achievement I’ll be able recognise the future progress I will have made. 

3.7kms. 31 mins.

My point is that feminists are not biological determinists. Feminists are the least likely people to say ‘all men are bastards’. Some of them might say ‘many men behave like bastards’. But they don’t imply that such behaviour is acceptable because its genetic or ‘natural’ for men to behave that way, like those arguments defending rapists which imply that men are really all just stupid cavemen who can’t be blamed when they rape because, hey, men just can’t help it when they see someone in a mini skirt. Feminists don’t write books about how men are genetically incapable of picking up an iron. Feminists don’t write books about how men are from another planet, one where men have to be left ‘in their cave’ because they just don’t have proper emotions like women do. That’s because actually, feminists think men should be treated as fully functional human beings with brains and morals who should be held responsible for the choices they make.

So I’ve had some new follows recently and it did my heart some good. I’ve been very tentative in sharing much of myself on here. Not because I have deep dark secrets, but because I just don’t think I have too much to say that is really too interesting. Or perhaps more to the point, I don’t have interesting ways to say things. I love coming on here and being inspired and amused. I don’t want to write drivel and nosense. That some of you think enough of what I might contribute to have me show up on their page, well, shucks…

I am so so angry right now and the focus of my anger is a 90 y.o. Seems petty right? What can one frail, old person possibly do that could cause such a response? Surely I’m overreacting? What could they have done that couldn’t be written off as the harmless actions or careless words? Why can’t I just humour the old bag? Well, this particular old bag has been spreading poison and being humoured for far too long now. Turns out, the hurt caused by such poison doesn’t care how old or frail the delivery system is. I’m done.
