The Vilification & Oppression of Women in the Middle Ages
The role of the woman in Beowulf’s world is indicative of society’s overall view of women and their role in the time period in which it was written. The woman’s existence seems to fall into two categories at opposite extremes on the spectrum. They are either, in Welthow’s case, demure, rarely seen, rarely heard, and speak only the regurgitated sentiments of their husbands; or they are, as Grendel’s mother, vicious, evil, blood-thirsty, and vengeful.

So, I’ve decided to eat vegetarian two days per week. Today was the first day. I made baked tofu.
Baked Tofu
Slice the tofu how like (don’t bother pressing or freezing)
Lay out on a greased cooking sheet
Season how you like (e.g. drizzle Bragg’s liquid aminos or soy sauce and sprinkle some nutritional yeast)
Bake at 325F
After 30 minutes flip them over and season other side
Then, cook 30 more minutes for a fairly dense, chewy tofu (meaty, for lack of a better word)
(other options for baking)
Or cook 60 minutes more for a very dense, jerky-like consistency (when cooled)
Or flip every 30 minutes for 2 hours and you’ll get crispy tofu chips
I’m planning to re-start my posts on this blog over the summer. I really want to get back to doing my personal writing.
I have been absent due to taking so many writing classes at college.
What a wonderfully extraordinary read. Intertwining the lives of two women, four centuries apart, Jane Johnson weaves a tale of hardships, loves lost and won, and the mysteries that bind them together.

Who benefits when victims of sexual assault, molestation and rape remain silent? The assailant is free to continue victimizing others, and the victim is left with unwanted memories and the lasting trauma of the event.

Concept Essay assigned for Composition I.
When I was eight I was put in a foster home to live with a very Christian family. The gender roles were clearly and strictly defined. Girls played with “girl” toys, boys played with “boy” toys, and nobody was allowed to play with something that wasn’t specifically for their gender, or gender neutral. I, and the other girls in the home did the dishes and other housework every day, while the boys played outside or helped with yard work. When I asked why they never had to do dishes: “They’re boys, silly. Boys don’t do housework.”
Soldier On, Folks
I was reading a chapter in my sociology book dealing with gender and sex. Those being separate entities of course: sex is determined by the biological features and gender is how we identify ourselves as individuals. It is important to examine gender roles in the context of the society and time period because many aspects of those things influence how individuals identified themselves.

New male contraceptive injection appears effective
An injection for men appears to be just as effective at preventing pregnancy as the birth control pill, finds new research that could revolutionize contraception.
In testing in China, only one man in 100 fathered a child while on the injections, the study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism reports.
Gu said if further tests proved successful, the treatment could become widely available in five years.
But wait! There’s more!

Starred Review. See’s engrossing novel set in remote 19th-century China details the deeply affecting story of lifelong, intimate friends (laotong, or “old sames”) Lily and Snow Flower, their imprisonment by rigid codes of conduct for women and their betrayal by pride and love. While granting immediacy to Lily’s voice, See (Flower Net) adroitly transmits historical background in graceful prose. Her in-depth research into women’s ceremonies and duties in China’s rural interior brings fascinating revelations about arranged marriages, women’s inferior status in both their natal and married homes, and the Confucian proverbs and myriad superstitions that informed daily life. Beginning with a detailed and heartbreaking description of Lily and her sisters’ foot binding (“Only through pain will you have beauty. Only through suffering will you have peace”), the story widens to a vivid portrait of family and village life. Most impressive is See’s incorporation of nu shu, a secret written phonetic code among women—here between Lily and Snow Flower—that dates back 1,000 years in the southwestern Hunan province (“My writing is soaked with the tears of my heart,/ An invisible rebellion that no man can see”). Both a suspenseful and poignant story and an absorbing historical chronicle.
Awesome, awesome book. Highly recommend it.
