Hello and Welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Alaina Bensching. I am a first-year student at Santa Clara University from Portland, Oregon. Even though I have been here for a few months, I still am happy\u00a0I get to walk past the beautiful Mission Church on the way to class, and even though I am bored of palm trees, I am not bored of the better weather.<\/p>\n

I plan on being a chemistry or biology major with an art minor and I have created this blog for a Critical Thinking and Writing course at SCU. The course syllabus states the theme as higher education but the course has so far been flexible in how individual assignment are themed. I chose to focus on feminist issues in the most recent assignment and will continue to do so in the future on this blog.<\/p>\n

In recent years I have come to realize that I am most certainly a feminist. At first I was afraid to call myself that, because it did not feel I had earned it. But whether it be my political views, or my approach to gender inequality, I find myself defending women and women\u2019s rights, so I do qualify. But, I grew up a Portlander, so I was surrounded by<\/p>\n

liberals who, for the most part, do their best to treat women fairly and I thought I might just be mimicking the behavior around me. No, I don\u2019t go out and protest or yell at strangers on the subway, but that is because I am involved in a different kind of pushback. I am an everyday feminist; someone who can speak up to friends and family at the dinner table. I am trying to change the little things within my reach. I became an everyday feminist after I read an inspiring book,\u00a0Half the Sky<\/a>,\u00a0that discusses the violence, anger, and inequalities that women in second and third world countries face. So, yes, I am a feminist.<\/p>\n

But, I am certainly not just a feminist. I am also an ultimate frisbee player, a daughter, a sister, a Timbers fan, a runner, an amateur photographer, and a pun-maker (turn back now, faint-hearted). Ultimately<\/em>, I identify myself by many of those qualities and that list is just a little bit of who you will see more clearly as you read the following posts. I will be putting part of my\u00a0brain on the screen<\/em>\u00a0for you, so I hope you enjoy it. I\u2019m sure the zombies will eat it up if you don\u2019t. There I go with the puns (I put them in italics so you don\u2019t miss out on any).<\/p>\n

My sincerest apologies for the puns,<\/p>\n
