Talking Heads

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I
Can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

You start a conversation you can't even finish it.
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire ... OK
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite

Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Don't Worry about the Government - Talking Heads

I see the clouds that move across the sky
I see the wind that moves the clouds away
It moves the clouds over by the building
I pick the building that I want to live in

I smell the pine trees and the peaches in the woods
I see the pinecones that fall by the highway
Thats the highway that goes to the building
I pick the building that I want to live in

Its over there, its over there
My building has every convenience
Its gonna make life easy for me
Its gonna be easy to get things done
I will relax alone with my loved ones

Loved ones, loved ones visit the building,
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
Ill be working, working but if you come visit
Ill put down what Im doing, my friends are important

Dont you worry bout me
I wouldnt worry about me
Dont you worry bout me
Dont you worry bout me

I see the states, across this big nation
I see the laws made in washington, d.c.
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me

Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
Im a lucky guy to live in my building
They own the buildings to help them along

Its over there, its over there
My building has every convenience
Its gonna make life easy for me
Its gonna be easy to get things done
I will relax along with my loved ones

Loved ones, loved ones visit the building
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
Ill be working, working but if you come visit
Ill put down what Im doing, my friends are important

I wouldnt worry bout
I wouldnt worry about me
Dont you worry bout me
Dont you worry bout me..........

Have someone betrayed you in your love relationship? Why is all this negative and sad feeling attached with your personality??

"Psycho Killer" just sounds good.

"Don't Worry about the Government" is a happy slappy song.

The authors we are given for Higher English all seem to desperately negative and sad women.

Our homework was to read: Alison Kennedy: Night Geometry and the Garscadden Trains.

Night Geometry And The Garscadden Trains Short story collection(Polygon/Orion)

The previous week in class we read an author I will try to find by doing a Google search on 'man hating scottish women authors'.

All men oppress all women all of the time. (Kate Millett 1971; 1977:24-25)

"Women are The Enemy [sic.] against whom all patriarchal wars are waged." (Mary Daly 1978:31)

Logic is a weapon of oppression. (Nye in PK:152)

Daly (1987:216. cf. BC:122) believes logic and reason are just ways of men to oppress women. She calls it "phallocentrism."

"What is distressing is the repeated evocation in feminist discourse of images of female helplessness and victimization." (Elshtain 1981:225)

"Learned helplessness." (PK:107)

11. Sexual Harassment and Antipatriarchal Feminism (Double-Bind)

Never take 'yes' for an answer.

If you feel that you are harassed, you are. (Roiphe 1993:91)

If you think you are an elephant, you are.


Continuum theories collapse the definition of sexual harassment to include giving flowers, hand holding, casual glances, asking for a date, door opening, giving compliments, shaking hands, having a thought or fantasy about someone, conversing, flattery, flirtation, going for a walk with a student, asking someone for coffee, smiling at someone. Many of these have caused actual, legal sexual harassment charges to be filed. Also, the definition of "rape" is collapsed to include sexual harassment. (cf. Reilly 1994)

Smith College Office of Student Affairs brochure says that only men can be guilty of sexism. (BC:85)

thinking about sex ("conceptual rape" BC:27)

"I call it rape whenever a woman feels violated." (MacKinnon in BC143)

decide a day later that you did not like the experience

woman says "yes." Yes is not yes because women are powerless. (Susan Estrich in BC:189)

Patai & Koertge say that sexual harassment is stretched to qualify any and every woman as a victim. It is thus called an "accordian" concept. (PK:78, 129)

:You get the idea

I might even look through my notes to find the first author.

"Fearless" by Janice Galloway

A description of 'West Coast Man'.
