'Scientists reveal physics behind sandcastles!'

'Members of the public do not give a crap'
'Local blogger slaps self and questions sanity of the scientists'

Ah well, I've heard of stupider things I guess...
Anyways, this might be the last time I blog, until exams are over
I might throw in whatever I can whenever I have the time
But it entirely depends on me finishing assignments and actually studying for tests and the final exams

I would write about feminism, since I'm doing it as a topic for my philosophy essay, but its too much effort typing everything down again.

Basically the philosopher in question is Simone de Beauvoir.
"One is not born, but rather, becomes a woman"
She argues that throughout history women are seen as the deviation, the abnormality of man.
Society deems one to be a woman as soon as one is born.
As long as its biologically certain, one is already given a 'title' of 'female'.
After being deemed 'female', one is supposed to become a 'woman' by following the influences of the society of the time.
This changes alot, as can be seen today.
50 years ago, a womans place would be in the house, cleaning, cooking, taking care of the children, you know the drill.
But nowadays, women are becoming more and more like men.
You know, supermums. Part time worker, part time housekeeper.
And, on the other side of the coin, the men.
Metrosexuals as we call'em.
Men, so into fashion and makeup, who clothe themselves so that they can look and emulate the opposite sex, not necessarily to attract them.
Pink shirts. Tight pants. What. The. F*ck.

Society defines who we are. And we can't do jack all about it.
Except maybe cry a little.
Go ahead.
Its okay to cry if you're a girl.
If you're a guy, you're a homo.

Now, I may be a bit prejudiced against this, but its how society has raised me.
Ok, well I can't blame everything on society, I just like making fun of things.
Note that I don't mean anything that I say, so if you really are gay, don't be offended. Homo.

But yeah, in 18th century France or something, apparently it was a fashionable thing to wear pink and also high heels or some kind of fancy schmancy shoe. Maybe clogs or something, I don't know.
Maybe its having a comeback? Like some 100 year old summer fashion clothing range.
But anyway before I get caught up in the debate over guys wearing pink shirts and tight pants thing, I'd just like to say one thing : Dialectical change.

If you're familiar with Hegel and the Dialectic, then you'll know what I'm talking about.
Basically, its the synthesis of 2 conflicting 'things' into a new type of 'thing' incorporating aspects from both the old 'things'.
Its hard to explain cuz Hegel was a bitch who didn't like to write simply.
But, maybe this is like the Dialectic.

Synthesise A and B, you get C. And all is fine.
Until D comes along. Then synthesis C and D.
You get E.
Wash, rinse, and repeat.

Men are becoming more like women, and women are becoming more like men.
This is how the older generation views it.
But to the newer generations, it is all just the same to them. They will not see how it has changed from the old generation until a newer generation appears.
Slowly, it will creep upon the older generation and take over.
A cycle. Over and over again, it will happen.
A resurgence of an 'old' fashion, into something new.
Its only new because society has adapted and changed it. Synthesised it.

So, society is kinda like an animal.
According to Darwin, its called evolution.
Changing its shape and thinking according to the conditions.
But evolution never takes one step back.
So will we ever reach a peak of civilisation?

Heck, I probably won't be around to find out.
I've written too much already.
Damn you philosophy.
Damn you.
