Lately a debate have been rolling on the Norwegian newspaper VG's web pages concerning some rather tasteless statistics.
According to VG every second Norwegian man believes that a woman is guilty of being sexually violated if she flirts openly.
Enough with the "but that is completely wrong, what? We can't flirt without being raped these days?!" - bit. Because there's enough of that already.
What which is truly upsetting is the fact that men don't take more part in this heated discussion. It is so incredibly discriminating, so incredibly wrong, stained with prejudice. I honestly don't believe any man I know would throw himself over some lady and molest her if she incidently flirted with him. That is a lot of raving bollocks right there. How men even accept to be given such injustice is completely alien to me. - And yes! A man would accept it by not contradicting it, because in his ignorance he will have allowed it to happen.
Of course the statement in itself is upsetting, but the way both women and men are being objects of mindless stereotyping is beyond me, it is as if we are discussing this particular arctic penguin species which are unusually sexually-abusive - but we're not.
We are creating a distance between being a human and studying humans, a wider gap between men and women, about being a creature on earth.
What is a life if you can't walk around on the planet as you may wish? Should we be limited to barriers only existing in our heads? This isn't giving anyone an excuse to 'try something' more than any other controverisal discharge over the past years - but I just felt a bit fed up just now.
And I think it's about time someone do something.

Fish in my shoes, labels!
over at I have a Fish in my Shoe there's an aquarium at the bottom of the page, with lots of fish-thingies and sea-creatures and squids and sharks. i have always loved the ocean, so pretty, don't you think?
I have also always liked these labels! And now I have finally taken the time to click on the four buttons to make them all appear down on your right hand side. Absolutely fantastic!
I would also like you to take the time to have peek at these other blogs too!
Got rice?

Litt mindre folkelig... <-- Norwegian
Hope you can find something interesting in them. Litt mindre folkelig is written by my successful, pretty sister. But don't let yourself be fooled by the neatly polished surface - she's not nearly as sane in reality.
To be quite honest (don't tell her I said that9 she's as bonking mad as the rest, half in denial.

About the Banana-Matrix
i have completely forgotten about updating my work with the banana matrix!
Okay, so, turns out Audun didn't have a contageous illness after all, which means; even though I would've not eaten all those bananas, I wouldn't have fallen sick no matter what!
What a shame, eh? Complete waste of matrix-theory if you ask me. But I didn't get ill though, how cool is that? That's pretty cool, isn't it?

They say danger occurs when you talk to yourself as another person.
She's been expecting danger for so long.
About bloody time.
