The Ripper's End

Well, we did our presentation earlier today and I have to say that I don't know if I could be much happier with it.
We put a lot of work in and, as usual, the adrenaline rush I get from standing up on people got me to act a lot more hyperactive than I usually do (I was pleased that my melodramatic Jack impression went down a treat, though). Our practice paid off, I even remembered so much that when it got to a point where I needed my cue cards, I'd lost my place!

One thing I think we could have improved on was our answering questions at the end. We were all pretty nerve-racked so a challenging question pretty much finished us off.
With time to reflect, when asked for evidence of misogyny in our culture. I would have referenced the introduction to the presentation, where I said that it was 'deep-seated' and thus hard to see on the surface. The most evidence is in the television that we watch, for example a slasher film such as Freddy Vs. Jason. In one scene, a couple have sex. The woman leaves to have a shower (putting herself on display as she does) and the man stays in bed. Of course, we don't see much of the man when the bed is folded in half and his back is broken. But the woman is cut up in plain, naked view. If that isn't evidence towards the existence of misogyny in our society then I'm not sure what could be. We would much rather watch the sexualisation and mutilation of a woman than a man, these days and, for the most part, we have the Ripper to thank for that.

It's been a joy working with this group, thank you.
