Sister Pearl's World RSS

Hi. I'm Marco's sister. Those of you who don't know me can call me Pearl. When I was nineteen, I bit into a pearl in a fried oyster in some linoleum-floored crab shack on Cape Cod.

I'm a recovering graduate student, high school Spanish teacher, unrepentant history geek, and budding mystic. I've traveled to four of the seven continents. I always love to discuss politics, religion, history, and philosophy. In my other life, I'm also a wife with really poor housekeeping skills. But I can cook.

A liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after.
— Gloria Steinem (via enquotations) - sounds to me like she’s defining liberation as the role of a woman. reminds me of mona lisa smile where julia roberts gets pissed at julia stiles (julia-fight to the death!) for choosing the life that j-robs was trying to teach them away from. in seeking to liberate someone from their current worldview, we generally don’t set them free (does this freedom even exist?) but rather persuade them to our “side” with the vitures of our own worldview.
