![]() ![]() Wollstonecraft repeatedly makes the connection between slaves and Western womeneven those in the middle class. Long cited as the fundamental text of Western feminism, the book continues to contribute to modern social thought in many ways. Though she states that she loves man as her "fellow," she is clear that "his scepter, real, or usurped, extends not to me, unless the reason of an individual demands my homage and even then the submission is to reason, and not to man." Rooting her argument that women deserve an education equal to men's on the human duty to use God's gift of reason, Wollstonecraft set traditional gender roles on their ear. Responding to other writers who praised or attacked these antimonarchical uprisings, the tone of the book is by turn confrontational, instructive, harshly critical, sarcastically funny, idealistic, and visionary. ![]() ![]() A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), by Mary Wollstonecraft, was published in London during the third year of the French Revolution and the fifth year of George Washington's presidency of the new United States of America. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This book won’t just shut mouths, it will open hearts. The book has a strong evangelical tone throughout, and in more than one place I wept at the beauty of the gospel flying off the page. As Augustine said long ago, God shoots the arrows of His word to turn us into His lovers. And yet the wound it aims to inflict is the wound of love. Like a well designed sword, Confronting Christianity strikes a good balance-it doesn’t just apologetically parry it thrusts with gospel power. ![]() It is a rigorous, compelling, and fresh defense of the Christian faith, centered on 12 hard and perennial questions. I just finished Rebecca McLaughlin’s incredible new book Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World’s Largest Religion. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you wish to not disclose your gender, we will never ask you to. In suite-style residences (UWP, CLV and MKV), room assignments are based on gender and the washrooms are shared by the roommates within the suite. Washrooms in Ron Edyt Village and Village 1 are designated as being for either women or men. Our other first-year residence communities (dorm-style and suite-style) are organized by gender, where students who identify as female live together, and students who identify as male live together. If you are living in Claudette Millar Hall, each floor has all-gender washrooms. ![]() Unlike gender-specific washrooms which are designated as being for either women or men, all-gender washrooms are available for use by anyone.Įach first-year residence building has at least one all-gender washroom in our central complex area to use when studying and hanging out with friends, dining at an eatery or visiting a front desk.

What it paints on his consciousness is just as “real” as his normal, everyday reality, it’s just been filtered through booze and drugs and adrenalin. It’s taking in those dulled sensory clues and attempting to sort them with altered, perverted logic. His poor, drug-soaked brain is still trying to do its job. What FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS does remarkably well is to show that, while reality is skewed and by whatever intoxicant of the moment happens to be coursing through Raoul Duke’s veins, it’s still portrayed as his reality. That’s sketchy on a good day, but add a few chemicals to the mix and… We use various fleshy bits to sense and send evidence of an external reality to our brain, only for it to choose what all that input might mean and paint its best guess on our consciousness. The nature of reality can be a tricky business. Thompson’s incredible work of gonzo journalism that truly bonded it to my writing DNA. ![]() That love was deep and immediate and while I may have seen the film umpteen times before I read the book, it was the reading of Hunter S. ![]() I was on a page somewhere just after Barstow when my love for FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS took hold.

She's the child of two very powerful magic users who sacrificed themwelves to save the kingdom from the Ts'liches. In an interesting twist on the "normal teenage girl discovers she's from another world" trope, she is not the heir to a throne (or two, like Tara Duncan is - kind of what that crossover now, ngl). Camille semi-accidentally discovers that she has magical powers and is in fact the titular Ewilan. The book follows Camille and her best friend Salim, teenagers from a small French town. So I was kind of apprehensive with rereading the La Quête d'Ewilan trilogy, but there was no need! THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING.

Now her father was gone, her house was gone, and her fate lay in a stranger’s hands-Dominic Santrell, the Earl of Rochford. A home she had shared with her father, until his death. Just days ago she’d been living in her small cottage by the Irish Sea.
