Kelly, I love your open mind....and fresh ideas are mucho better than stinky ones in my opinion. One of the things I loved about sociology was the completely wild array of theories we heard. Like on gender, you wouldn't believe all the ideas about where the origins of where our gender identities were supposed to have come from, not all anatomically based, baby!! Anyway, I LOVED sociology. I really got into theories of deviance, and stuff like that, too. Race, class and gender. Yup!! Loved it. And there was usually one set of theorists who disagreed with the last set. It was fun. That kind of arguement, I could handle. I am nobody's codependent girl in the classroom. rofl.....no way Renee!!!
