A Mission Statement of Sorts

When I first conceived of writing a feminist blog, it was about a year ago. As an English major, and thus, avid reader of books, I thought it would be pretty cool to have a running feminist book review. School and life got in the way, but I kept the idea in the back of my mind. Then, this January, I noticed I was giving people quite a bit of sex advice, and I thought maybe a sex blog was in my future.

This project is a combination of those two ideas, along with many others I have had since. On this blog I will not only be discussing books and sex (delightful as these topics are) but also gender, feminism and whatever else happens to feel relevant to me at the time. I’m hoping to have some recurring columns and themes, and am excited to explore and grow with the blog.

This blog will also serve as a learning experience for me; as my views shift and change, they will be recorded here. I am by no means the expert on any one topic, and am not trying to act as such. I am just a person who is interested in these topics and am absolutely willing to learn from others. So, if you disagree with anything I say (or agree, for that matter), by all means let me know. On that note, the views expressed in this blog will be based on my own point-of-view and experiences. I am not trying to speak for anyone but myself, but am interested in exploring ideas and hearing from other points-of-view and experiences.

So with that, let the adventure begin…
