hear ye hear ye.


here at guelph, i am an international development student with an emphasis
on gender and development. thus, i take many women's studies courses.

i think that women's studies has been getting a bad rep recently (even my female friends find it daunting and overwhelming).

i, however, risking the fact that i will be dubbed a raging feminist, or be associated with some sort of 'bra burning' ritual... am very much a proponent of this field of study.

you understand then, when i heard that they are trying to get rid of the women's studies program at guelph, i was pissed!

i think this is insulting and preposterous
and could frankly, in my opinion, fall into the category of bigotry.


(i also recently heard a rumour that the president of the university recently upped
his salary by $100,000...and women's studies is being cut because of a depressing budget!
for the love!)

there's a rally today at 1pm at the cannon,
anyone in guelph come and fight for the future women's studies!

That's seriously fucked. I'm surprised it isn't making more headlines.
