On a happy (see what I mean?) note, I'm proud of myself because I have finally finally finally finished reading Herland. It's a lost feminist utopian novel by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It's rather feminist, I must say. At times, it's a bit sexist. But I really like Terry in the novel, cos he seems so fixed on getting out of Herland, which, by the way, is populated with WOMEN ONLY, NO MEN. The way he gives excuses on getting out of Herland is really very sexist. Very logical, but at the same time, irrational thinking on his part. I don't know how's that possible, but anyhoos, I enjoyed his character. And there's a bit of stuff in there about humans multiplying without the aid of men. Haha. It's like a miracle, yo! It's like in Herland (the place which they call it), each young woman is able to produce five daughters. There's only been two sons so far, in the space of 2000 years, and that, the 'Colonels' (or the women warriors, as they seem to call it) had slaughtered them or something. So, technically, a woman can have five daughters, 25 granddaughters and 125 great granddaughters. By herself. See? It's a little bit unbelievable. I bet you wouldn't want to live in that place. Without men. How fun would life be without men? Not that enjoyable, I must say.
Now, I'm off to peruse some royal matters. Where's my Valentino dress? Where's those Prada slides? Where's the DEVIL WHO WEARS PRADA?
Haha..ok, that's so random. I know...
P.S.: Thanks Azam. :)
