Today I visited a television set, and realised after I left that it would have been a great opportunity to write a blog entitled 'a day in the life of a television star', but because I thought of this too late it is not possible.
Instead I am going to write about ageism. I am in the prime of my youth, and yet certain individuals are implying that I am OLD. And, because I am single and independent I am accused of being a potential cat lady.
Firstly, I have decided that this is sexist because single men are never called cat men, and also it is ageist because it implies that being older, wiser, and bollocks I can't think of anything else, just older and wiser, is a negative thing. Secondly, it implies that being single is a bad thing, thus indicating that independence is unnatural because we should all be getting married.
My issue with 'getting married' is that boys are generally stupid. And they don't like it if you hide in cupboards and jump out at them, even though it clearly IS funny. And they eat all your food, and bring mud into your home. However, they are good at getting rid of spiders and fixing things, so there are some positives.
I have just been informed that women are stupid too. This is true, however, men have been educated for a lot longer in history than us girls, so I think they have less of an excuse to be stupid.
In other news, term has just finished and I'm reeeeally going to miss teaching. I might just start sitting out in town in case any pedestrians want to be taught about Shakespeare.
