A lot of what you write is relevant and even handed even though I find your deep seated mysandry offensive. Similarly, I would find racism or homophobia a challenge that I would need to take up. I guess we should confront prejudices wherever we find them and I thank you for the opportunity that your prejudices represent and I hope you continue to express them.

There’s lots to say - perhaps there’s too much and I don’t feel I can keep up with it all. I think I feel quite like Antonia in this respect (although we’d probably have to agree to differ about the utility or otherwise of Oxford’s environmental schemes…) Explore posts in the same categories: Personal [...] [...] Lacking motivation I’m suffering from a bit of a lack of motivation for blogging at the moment.
