19: Reason Number 678,099 that I am a Women's Studies Student

We are more than this.

Congratulations to the Grey-Bruce area. We've made PerezHilton.com. Why? Because of sexism. We are an area of great generosity, beautiful landscape and history. But, we are the internet sensation of the day because of the blatant intolerance that still manages to linger in the area.

It brings me an incredible amount of satisfaction and pride knowing that so many people here are speaking out against this discrimination and putting their money where their mouths are. I do not have the words to express the amount of hope that I have that this will finally open up some kind of dialog about the discrimination that exists here.

We can't keep pushing it under the rug.

The restaurant industry sucks in general. The next time your out someplace, take a note at what your server's gender is. Then, take a note of the gender of the general floor staff. It might make it clear to you why I, being a male, found it so difficult to find a job as a waiter. The food industry tends to hide their boys in the kitchen. Girls, on the other hand, are pretty and fun objects to look at, making them a perfect candidate for serving the men who frequent their establishment and we all know Men are they only ones who eat.

But men have to eat more so they can work and vote and take care of their families!
