I read your eureka moment a couple of nights ago and have been thinking a lot about what you were saying about your boss. I work in a school and the our head of schools is a female. She had all the assistants met with her this afternoon to discuss next year and her higher then tho attitude was really grinding at me. You did not have a positive thing to say and was almost enjoying her authority over having us come back next year. As I take more gender classes, I am starting to think that maybe it is not equality we are after, but power and control. I cannot believe how she can make almost everyone in the building uncomfortable just with her presence. This is my first year at this school and since I am finishing my degree with this lovely class, I am hoping to find a job before September, so I do not have to go back there.
I am recently divorced and have been working hard the last two years to finish up my degree. This course is my last requirement. I am also taking a three week course, which has caused me to fall behind with this class. How to catch up as soon as that class is over, which will be on June 8th.
I have also been working two jobs in order to maintain my bills. I have a nineteen year old daughter, who I love dearly; in addition to one dog and three cats.
I have taken a few other gender courses, but never an online course. This should prove interesting, considering I know nothing about blogging nor wiki.
