warning: incoherent rant ahead

I had a rage-filled day! Some fandom things (antis, please gtfo) and then this, which is what dominated my day, really:

I spent two hours in the morning doing my readings for my afternoon Human Rights in Asia class focusing on women's rights. I also spent that time literally crying in rage over some of the things discussed. The readings were really good, actually. Thoughtful and observant of the divide in viewpoints, acknowledging a number of differing attitudes in ideologies, cultures, etc. but also not backing away from the more difficult positions. Really interesting to read and nuanced, which is always awesome. They also highlighted some examples of the awful situations women find themselves in all over the world today, as well as highlighted examples of progress and triumph by women. I just. I have a lot of feelings. I hate that so much crap still exist; I hate that people try to somehow justify it.

( There is a lot of rage and some incoherency and a lot of text under the cut. )
