Now, during the rest of this class's ridiculous conversation about how "empowering" this glorified soap opera is, I'm just going to check out interior design websites.

This is a blog with no aspirations. It does not want to change the world. It does not need to have its voice heard. It would be happy as a fry cook on Venus.
1 people had something to say:
Is your professor from a different generation than you? I ask, as even though I have not seen "The L Word",
when I was growing up the word Lesbian was associated with harsh, cold, bull-dyke type women and I very rarely heard it. If I did it was a "I think she's a lesbian", quietly whispered in someone's ear about the short haired tennis player on TV. Boys literally throw the word "fag" about in a casual way in the locker rooms, "Don't be such a fag you dick wad"...was probably said in some way every day, but "lesbian" just did not have the same ring to it. It was a shameful word.
Now, the world is different, and the older generation (ie me) may still be holding onto the shame of that word whereas the younger generation (you) have a maturity that we did not, therefore having no shameful associaton with sexuality.
