/wastes more time

for what class?

Women in Islam.

The class with the bully and the laptop-hating teacher and the dude who thinks Mormons are scum.

Fun times.

oh, gross

/hugs

what's the project on?

I have to analyze a hadith (one of the tens of thousands of writings about the life of Muhammad, a lot of which are about how kickass

his wives are) and interpret it from a feminist perspective.

... pick one about how his wives are kickass then

because that sounds awesome

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. Most people don't realize just how fierce the wives were. They get stuck on the plural XD

CULTURE CLASH OH NOOOO

Another thing that is shit: academic tone.

HOW DO I EXPLAIN THE LOVE OF AISHA FOR HER HUSBAND IF I HAVE TO BE DETACHED AND ACADEMIC ABOUT IT.

Can't I be colloquial? Who's that going to hurt? It'll save us all from a dry paper.

Argh.

Academia doesn't work like that, sadly.

blargh. /is colloquial anyway. whatever, I do what I want.

and get academic awards for it!
