Feminism in Words

Last night when I am suppose to be sleeping safe and sound I for some reason had a dream about a woman raising hell with me about how the female has been oppressed for all these years and are never getting a fair break. As I agree with the thought process and that women are not being paid equal pay for an equal job, this dream woman began to provide me a tirade on how history is completely written by men and that a womans perpective has been totally elimated by the same oppression mentioned previously.

The we went into the deconstruction of words. "History, is just his story. That is after all how the word was made. Otherwise it would be Herstory."

This is absolutely ludicrous. First of all, it is spelled wrong if that was the attempt. wouldn't it be Hisstory? um...NO. This type of thinking is what pushes back the feminist movement and causes people (men and women)  to think that feminist are just a bunch of nutbags in need of "special" attention. One straightjacket for the crazy female in the corner please.

Using this philosophy of break down words, I would like to break down another one... Harmony. The first part of the word is harm which is technically a bad thing. The last part of the word is the British term for money, mony...GO BILLY IDOL!!!! Anyway, with the brain sucking translation of history, this would mean that harmony is the act of harming someone for money, not the pleasing combination of independent elements as a whole.

Anyway, Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to 2010!
