So this morning while I was getting ready for work, I was tuning into some Cosby Show reruns. Vanessa was going to try out for drum major at school with a bunch of other girls, because the drum major is always a guy. Rudy and Kenny got into their usual argument about what a "man" (emphasis Kenny's) does and what a "woman" does. Kenny sounded like an idiot, Rudy like a badass feminist.
It made me think....was this the beginning of my feminist teachings? Growing up in Eastern MT, feminism isn't exactly flying all over town, infiltrating the minds of the youth. So today, I'd just like to tip my hat to the Cos and family...especially Rudy.
As a side note, I once had a Cosby sweater party. It was great fun. May have to revive that party this winter. The lame t-shirt party was a hit, why not Cosby sweater?

My feminist ways started in 6th grade - or that's the earliest I could remember it anyway - when my teacher, Mr. Bertsch told me that women can't be lawyers. The M-Fer can bite me now .... I think we should have a FUCK MR. BERTSCH party. We would have to wear comb-overs and that just would be sad.
My sexist teacher was Mr. Hannify who expressed to class on several occasions his view that the world was a much better place when women were barefoot and in the kitchen. He also had a comb-over but he topped that by wearing dickies. I can't believe they let men like this teach. F-Holes. He can bite me.
