It is a little disturbing to care that much about milk.

Ok, so, most of the time I really enjoy history--when it's history I like. I've always found it to be a somewhat selfish discipline, in that I only really get into studying certain subjects. Sometimes, the things that people study don't make sense to me, or they just don't interest me, or they seem just plain silly:
In this project, Sommestad links gender, labour and cultural history using a variety of methods to produce a subtle interpretation of the dairy industry.

Sure, the idea of linking gender and labour is interesting (& makes sense given that a lot of women's history came from Marxist history), & culture is always good to throw in there. But when you get to the "subtle interpretation of the dairy industry," you've lost me. I'm laughing.

Also is it wrong--even though I am some kind of feminist myself, though I find it interesting & a good subject to know about & something to be kept in mind & occasionally get angry about--is it wrong to be annoyed by feminists? Because sometimes I really, really am.

(God I hate this week!)
