gender and jazz

Okay so my title is misleading, this blog has nothing to do with jazz. I'm proud of you ladies for protesting and going against the norm. it is interesting to hear your views on woofest. When i went to woofest freshman year, i didnt think twice about it. i felt ugly all dressed up though to be honest. I remember all these insecurities i had when i got all dressed up and i felt weird when the guys danced around and stuff. I never thought about the message behind it. I think that woofest for many is just a fun event and an excuse to dress up and take pictures. But there is still a message that it sends whether you see it or not.
To be honest, if i didnt know the girls protesting, i would have thought...hmm thats weird. But actually hearing the reasoning behind the protest opened my eyes to something i never thought of. So thank you friends for speaking truth no matter the reaction.
It is easy to just be complacent and believe everything you are told. It is easy to go with the crowd and not ask questions. But it takes crazy courage to stand up for something you believe in.
