Cunt will change my life. I hope.

Borrowed the book Cunt by Inga Muscio from a friend Tuesday night and finished it yesterday. It gave me so very much to think about. There are now so many lifestyle changes I want to make. This is similar to the way I felt after I finished all of Daniel Quinn's books. And so, to make sure I don't forget how I feel right now, I'm going to go through the book and summarize what I want to do, what changes I want to make.

1. Get a lunar calendar and start figuring out how my cycles relate to the cycles of the moon.
2. Check out the possibility of using sea sponges, the Keeper, or at least tampons not produced by huge corporations.
3. Stop depending on medications so much. For headaches, for abdominal pain, for...everything.
4. Publish a zine...if I figure out that I have anything to say.
5. Stop being embarrassed about talking about menstruating, masturbating, sex, etc.
6. Go to independent grocers, bookstores, etc. or at least buy products from independent producers.
7. Rent/download music, movies, books by men. Buy the ones by women.
8. Start being more aware of the situation I am in. Be more mindful. Look out for other women. Take a self defense course or two?
9. Stop watching TV.
10. Start taking the responsibility to find out what's going on through independent news sources.
11. Stop going to movies with rape scenes in them. If I do accidentally, demand my money back and tell them why.
12. Start playing chess.
13. Tell telemarketers I don't speak English.
