Comments on: Greetings from Mexico City/Brooklyn! http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2008/08/18/greetings-from-mexico-citybrooklyn/ In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set.

Our weekly meetings are usually just discussions about gender, sexuality, and straight allies (since most of us are straight), but we occasionally have some cool guest speakers about more specific topics (harassment, etc.). Our work for the year culminates at PrideFest, a one-day festival in June. I know that your time is split between New York and Mexico City, but would you ever have time to be a guest speaker?

I will identify this way! :) Seriously - thanks for the link to the Cyber Dissidents in Cuba. I talk about Cybder-dissidents in China whenever I can, and am trying to get more awareness out about how the internet is controlled in other countries. Oh noes! There is another Anna!

You'd better not reveal that you have additional hobbies in your next post, or I'm gonna, like, throw on my sweatpants and pout, or something. Anna, you’re making me feel like a slacker already.

Good luck with your GSA! I was co-leader of my school's GSA when I was in middle school and high school, but the GSA I work with now is really different (plus, it's different playing the advisor role). I'm not sure where you are located or if your school is public or private, but I hope you've found other (national and local) organizations you can work with. Miranda, your comment just made my day.

What awesome thing can't you do? As a public high school student and co-leader of my school's GSA, WELCOME!
