http://thecommenttree.blogspot.com/2011/10/am-i-feminist.html
Maybe one day I'll learn to form an opinion. And start a blog. Sunday, 9 October 2011. Am I A Feminist? I often hear women asked, "So are you a feminist? Personally I wouldn't know how to answer that question, mainly because I don't know what the genuine meaning is anymore. It has been blurred to extremes, from the "I will never cook for a man", to "Beyonce can crotch-dance in her hot pants because girls run the world". Say what? So am I a feminist? 1) Feminists who hate men; and. This is about freedom o...

An incident happened a couple of months back which I considered blogging about, but instead decided to let it go. That is, until a friend shared someone else's story with me - one that made me realise this is happening all the time, and that perhaps more of us need to share our stories.

As for the anti-cycling BBC viewers and their comments, I have to say one thing. THERE IS NO ROAD TAX. Road tax was abolished in 1937. Yes, 1937. At the end of the day it's important to get the facts right before building a battleground. We all pay for roads, and we all must share them. More helpful info here: http:/ ipayroadtax.com/.

Maybe one day I'll learn to form an opinion. And start a blog. Friday, 9 March 2012. Recently, Linda Grant. Collected a staggering number of stories on Twitter, revealing first-hand sexism by women across generations. It seems some of the attitudes bandied about decades ago are still alive and well today. Women still get asked about their relationship status in job interviews. And get harassed on the street. I realised that most of mine seemed to revolve around the same topic. Sports retail. 8220;Oh I've...

Maybe one day I'll learn to form an opinion. And start a blog. Thursday, 14 October 2010. Get outta here. Running, as far as I've always been concerned, was something crazy people did - the kind of people who swim outdoors in winter and eat raw eggs. I wasn't one of those people. I've always hated running. Yet, because I hated running so much, I always wanted to run a half marathon. I like a challenge. Then in May this year, I heard that the brilliant Muireann (aka Bangs and a Bun. This is how it went.

My heart breaks again today for Christchurch, and my thoughts go out to everyone who has been affected. I feel grateful that I am flying home to New Zealand in a few days for a wedding, because right now I want to give my homeland a hug, and to stand on my native soil. Kia kaha, Christchurch, we are all here for you. Thursday, 10 February 2011.
