A collection of writing, both personal and academic, that covers a wide spectrum of social, class and gender issues. The newest ones are at the top, but personally, some of my favorites are the weird academic papers I wrote in an independent study class in 1998. Enjoy!

Eat Me - Alex K. 03.30.02
"The fact that I had used such a horribly crass epithet was the basis of the arguement that I was crude, inappropriate and a danger to the educational environment."

pro-nouns by caitlin sweet 2000
"now, in this waste land of a football-junkie town and campus, estranged from a gay community for the first time in 4 years, i think of how i am right up against their lines and words and how i could willingly slip through their fingers."

know your gender - Alex K. 1998
"Once gender identified there is no way to escape all the many influences of gendering in our society, and I wonder if there is any way to escape it, at all."

i am a phallus - Alex K. 1998
"In my skirts, in my heels, in my make up, I am the perfected status of appended self, dressed to be noticed, dressed to be, as many feminists would decry, subjected, submitted, objectified."

am i a woman? - Alex K. 1998
"To me, there is a very linear, very straight connection from thinking “as a woman” to the acceptance of men as a dominant class."
