Dating sites and religion: A quick night-time thought
Faith-based dating sites, how is gender performed and configured on these sites? Like do women of faith behave a certain way? or men of faith? How are communications and negotiations of faith or any sort of spirituality discussed? Is it even? Frankly?How is religion a central tenet, to what extent is it? Are interfaith dialogues [...]
#NaBloPoMo #9: MA Thesis Idea #1
I thought I would share the more academic way, in an attempt to get these thoughts that occur to me. Thoughts surrounding the world we live in from a cultural and sociological viewpoint. I also hope that by doing this I add extra fuel to the fires within me. Fires which at times seem to [...]

Default Man – Default Me?
So I've been debating since midnight whether or not to post this. I mean I'm trying to be disciplined and post something up everyday. If only to prove to myself that I can. But, at the same time I know I'm going to have to run a longer, further, probably even several articles to explain [...]
FemGenSex: Logo update
So I'm trying to perfect and change the original logo I had created for the FemGenSex research network that I help out with/am a part of. My initial thoughts for a logo that would encompass the ideals of 'Feminism, Gender and Sexuality', was to have interlocking gender symbol vectors (example to right) with a prism [...]
