There is a danger in being a feminist. You learn to see sexism and misogyny so engrained in our culture and laced throughout conversations that--you see it everywhere.
In class on Tuesday, Dr. Bailey asked who you bring a gallon of cider for our last-class-party. Michal Ann whipped her head to stare at me, and almost immediately her face fell into an embarrassed smile.
"I thought he said 'what gal wants to bring cider?'" she admitted, and we giggled into our hands.
"It's everywhere!" I whispered.
"I know, I hear it everywhere. I'm so on edge."
Also, Michal Ann is leaving next semester. I finally found a passionate Christian feminist (who loves Lord of the Rings and hates exercising!), and she is leaving. I'm quite sad about this.
