Comment on It’s Caturday! Without my cats. by jennifer_brozek

I loath the word “jeggings” too. The fact that demin leggings have been around for at least a decade and I’ve been wearing them for at least half that long only makes me roll my eyes at this “new” concept.

I keep using the word feminist to describe myself because I think that the definition changes from person to person, and I want to be an example.

I often modify it with “third-wave” to indicate my place in history, as it were.

But I went to a women’s college; and I firmly believe that my thoughts, opinions, and work should be valued based upon their content and results, not the fact that I have ovaries.

When I stop being ignored, discounted, dismissed, or condescended to by people that assume that I don’t know what I’m talking about or what I’m doing, or that assume that I can and should be paid less for the same work, then maybe I’ll find a new term.

But that day hasn’t come yet.

You could go with pro-women I guess. I’m happy with feminist although for some reason a lot of women in this country think it’s pejorative. But I think that’s because they don’t know what it means, especially when they say “I’m all for equality but I’m no feminist.”

I am convinced that Self-promotion is the hardest thing in the world. If I right factually about what I do/have done in the last few years it looks something like:

“M Cunliffe BA(Hons) graduated from the renowned Falmouth College of Arts Illustration course. Works have included Lead Illustrator for Indie RPGs, Advertising for national Print/Web, concept design for several short films, Product design and large scale painting for internationally renowned folk festival, logo design and brand identity for national organisations, publication layout and design for film festivals and short-run information leaflets. Currently working on private commisions and Matte Paintings/FX work for upcoming apocolpytic short film.

His work is heavily influenced by dark, surrealist themes, combining cinematic lighting and dramatic angles with a sense of symbolism that conveys idea and tone without the need for literal representation.”

However, if I have to actually promote myself to somebody it ends up a little more like “I’ve done a few projects here and there but haven’t really done much lately, just a few local jobs…”
