a girl and her books

"You see, books fill the empty spaces. If I'm waiting for a bus, or am eating alone, I can always rely on a book to keep me company. Sometimes I think I like them more than people. People will let you down in life. They'll disappoint you and hurt you and betray you. But not books. They're better than life."
He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut (And 49 Other Double Standards Every Woman Should Know) by Jessica Valenti
Lisa is lending me this book (written by the founder of Feministing) and it is proving a very interesting read with lots to think about. Already, sadly, I can see many of these double standards being played out in my everyday life.  Luckily, Jessica has also added to the end of each chapter a ‘What can we do about it?’ section.
