Amee

I'd like to meet:

Only people with extraordinary capacities for empathy. Easy to get along with. Sans drama.

"Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls who do boys like they're girls who do girls like they're boys."

Those with a strong sense of self. Independent minds.

The absolutely fabulous and highly fashionable.

Expressive artists or one of those "types".

People full of quirks. Crippling depression a plus.

People who know how to keep it real.

Who I'd NOT like to meet:

I'm only interested in those around San Francisco, unless I already know you.

For the males with a friend list of wannabe porn stars, I'm not your type. To speak generally, chicks don't dig you.

Books:

I read primarily for information - mostly articles and essays.

Heroes:

All the punk, fucking freedom fighters!!!

Naming one: Margaret Sanger, queen of Planned Parenthood. She fought so fervently for women to have any reproductive rights and basic information about their bodies. Women were arrested numbers of times simply for sending private information about a woman's menstrual cycle through the mail to other women whom requested it. There were also arrests made for selling basic cotton pads that could have been used for contraception. Margret Sanger led the way along with plenty of others who also deserve to be our heroes. Women still have to push forward to gain and maintain complete rights over our own bodies and for equitable research for women. Men should be there, too.
