This week in sex and culture, we're talking about sex, sexuality and space. In some of the readings, the value of privacy came up. The authors (and the class) attempted to dissect public and private spaces, coming to the general conclusion that if it is in your home, it tends to be private. But if you start doing something illegal or "immoral" all of this can quickly change, where certain, if not all, aspects of your life are suddenly manufactured for public use; subject to scrutiny by anyone and everyone. What/where qualifies as public or private? I'll be honest and say I actually don't know... this is pretty much the first day that my mind didn't go "WTF" when we talked about sexuality, gender (and other identities) and space.
This is all to say that if incredibly stupid things are said in public and I hear them (ok fine, I'm more likely to be saying them), they're pretty much fair game for the blog. But I don't/won't post private conversations unless I have permission. No need to make any more enemies.
So I will have a post tomorrow about fucked up statement(s) said publicly. For now I need to be studying for this test that might, in all honesty, give me a heart attack before I even get around to posting it.*
*In the event that this happens, I have most of the post written in my developmental psych notebook, you can read it there. The rest are on CSI Sidle's hard drive and in my sex and culture notebook. After death a lot of that stuff becomes public space...hey, that might be a good post in itself. How did I even come to talk about this? It's fairly cocky of myself to assume someone would give a shit about the thoughts that come out of my mind and onto paper or screen in the event that psychology kills me.
