And so it begins...

While researching several concepts for a few plays I am working on, I have come across a series of articles, podcasts, advertisements, and more, that I wish to delve more closely into. This blog is not only going to be used as a tool to help me study some of the gender topics I find so appealing, but to share thoughts and opinions with others out there. At first this started as a website dedicated to talking about the idea of virginity, and what it means to be a virgin in the modern American society.  However, after looking at this idea more closely I have unlocked a whole slew of misunderstandings, misconceptions, and myths that I feel deserve some attention from us right now.  Issues such as frenemies, masculinity, and marriage, are only some of the ideas I am referring to here.  Having minored in Women's Studies in college, I greatly enjoyed the discussions that went along with the lectures, and have come to realize that I miss that feeling incredibly.  That feeling of learning from one another, bouncing ideas of the wall, really taking in all the gender topics that surround us in our everyday life.  It is my hope from this blog to regain a sense of that feeling among us.  A safe place for us to share, vent, question, and grow from each other.  Thanks for visiting for now, and I hope to hear from you soon!
