Feminist Mama
A wow friend sent this to me and I found it funny.

I actually do enjoy Cooking Mama. Her bad accent doesn’t annoy me and I like using the wii to “cook” the food. Did I ever think that this was demeaning to the female gender…not really.
I think less people, men and women, would pick up this game if it were called “Cooking Papa” and a guy was cooking it. It’s the same reason why there are more male players who pick female avatars in WoW than female players who pick male avatars in WoW. Cooking Mama just might be more universal than Cooking Papa. If you really want to get down to it, it could be called “Cooking Parents!” and you could either choose the mama or the papa to cook with.
As for Doctor Mama, we have the Trauma Center series which I have and have played. I just can’t finish the last “boss”. I like sewing up people and extracting tumors. It’s the weird worm virus stuff that is hard. Educated Mama would be like Brain Age? And Executive Mama? What is that…sit in a chair and order people around? Do we really need girl versions of these doctor and and academic games? mmm. Given that “Mama”‘ has a strong accent, I’m not sure I would chose her to be a role model anyway <: P.
Uh oh! Not goooOd. Try a leeettle hada!
I’m soo famous! /sarcasm
I was interviewed for another site this past week! Kind of exciting stuff right?
I answered the questions in an email, and I thought I wasn’t too wordy, but when it was formated for the site, since the column width is not so wide, my words ended up looking like paragraphs! Eeek, I didn’t think about that. I probably look full of myself of something, hahahaha!
Thanks Student Bloggers! Hopefully this can get more students to spill their brains and make the world a better place. My upper-division writing professor who is actually a working psychologist said that the world would be a better place if everyone just talked to a psychologist and there wasn’t a stigma about it. She even went as far as saying health problems would decrease and less people would be in hospitals. I agree. People need to let out their thoughts and feelings. Stress hurts.
