Why do women say “let’s just be friends”? (III of VI)

Posted onMonday 12 January 2009Sunday 25 August 2013

What’s gone before If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we would all be millionaires. — Abigail Van Buren Interestingly, the guy I was talking to then bitterly asked why the women weren’t more honest with the men, as well as with themselves. Now that one I could answer for him,…

More methodologies nattering

Posted onTuesday 30 October 2012

Journaling for one of my classes; this likely won’t be very interesting unless you’re into feminist methodological and epistemological questions. Fair warning! ;) I’ve now had some time to read through and mentally digest the Hesse-Biber article from her book Feminist Research.

Writing what you know, noting what you see

Posted onSunday 22 August 2010Sunday 22 August 2010

It’s a Sunday morning at about 9:30am as I write this, and I’m at a local mall. I’m helping a friend with writing some papers by being a “writing buddy” with her, the same way two people are exercise buddies to encourage each other to get out and exercise together. I’m writing down my thoughts…

Thanks so much to you both! I’m so thrilled it’s finally all done, completed, and uploaded — WHEW! :)
Also, Ms. M, fair warning: the Methodology is probably skippable, while the Lit Review will be of interest mostly if you’re looking for other similar-subject books to read. The Intro, the actual research chapter, and the Conclusion, though, I hope will be fun and/or intriguing! :-D
