Hrm. I live in a manufactured home... and in a park as well. And
seeing this is about your 3rd or 4th reference... I'm wondering. Am I
trailer trash, too?

In that case, anyone who says, "Oh, God!" or anything along that line is
equally offensive, since that may be contrued as taking his name in vain.

That depends on who you ask, where you are, and what kind of witchcraft
you're trying to identify.
In Britain, Wicca (adj: Wiccan) is a term applied only to practitioners of
British Traditional (Gardnerian or Alexandrian) Wicca. These are lineage
based traditions that can be traced back to a single founder. Most
neopagan witches in Britain are Gardnerian or Alexandrian (not the case in
Canada or the US) so the Brits call everyone else 'pagan'
In the US, Wicca has become a bit of an umbrella term for those people
involved in neopagan witchcraft who feel that the word 'witchcraft' has
ugly and damaging connotations with which they do not wish to constantly
deal. 'Pagan' is used by North Americans to refer to neopagan witches,
but also to Asatruar, Odinic Rite, some deep ecology movements, etc... It
is a much broader term.
There are streams of Goddess worship and feminist witchcraft who relish
the word witch, and use it in an explicitly political sense.
Personally, I use 'Craft'. I don't particularly like the way 'Wiccan'
roles off the tongue, and it avoids semantic battles with people favouring
the British usage. It's also fairly fluid.
Way more than you wanted to know, eh Anne? Guess what I've spend a decade
researching...

Not all witches are Wiccans. Think of it this way: Lutherans are
Christians but not all Christians are Lutherans.

Hey Kerri, it isn't just a New York thing, I also use the word "witch" when
referring to someone that I would prefer to call a "bitch". People have been
using the term "witch" for as long as I can remember. Don't feel bad either,
it isn't the first time that is was typed in this newsgroup either. I have
*often* seen people type biowitch in regards to their step childrens bm's. So
don't be scared off-----your welcome here
Big smile ;o)

Saw it in a few other posts... finally got sick of seeing it and
decided to comment.
I absolutely detest prejudices against any sort of people... unless it
is *one* person and the person has earned that label. Not fair to lump
all of a certain type of person in one category.
Anyways, I'm sure you'll get the help you need here.

Nicole, I always knew that we were kindred spirits. :-) We are moving to
a bigger manufactured home in the next two weeks. Does that make me the
twice over Trailer Park Trash? :-)

But people that *really* function in that mode all the time don't seem

BM in my situation is the same way. she loves to still have a grasp on my DH

She too can't keep her pants on either, and she's never been married, so I
guess there off alot! LOL
Number ONE: don't let her get to you! That is what she is trying to do, don't
let it happen!! If the two of you see each other, act calm cool and collected.
My DH's ex loves to try and make my life miserable.... I don't let her! She
needs to get herself a life!!!

P.S. If I get my own land, I'd still be Trailer Trash, right? Just not
Trailer Park Trash? Hrm. Food for thought.
Is this statement supposed to be funny? It's not. I am so sick of the way
Anne,
That makes a lot of sense. I'll try to be a little less critical. It just
really irks me to hear any woman referred to as a slut, or references to her
sex life.
Love,

I think that in much of life, women are 'setup' to hate other women. I think I
was programmed right from the off to slag other women off. I have a conspiracy
theory that it's been done by men for generations because they *know* how
powerful women are and that they *know* that they wouldn't stand a chance if
all women did suddenly get together, re-unite and take over the world.
For example, I used to *always* find something to hate in every woman who was
in the public eye. It was natural for me to find the one thing they did that
was horrid and then use that as a basis to dislike them and/or thinking they
were a bad example. There are still women I dislike, but once I woke up to how
self defeating it was for me to do this, I now consciously will try and like
women in the public eye. There are still some I dislike, but these days I make
sure they're *really* doing something I find objectionable before I jump on the
bandwagon of criticising them.
I do think it is a world-over way to keep women down. My god if we can't even
be grateful to the strong women in the public eye that we see today then how
can we expect to provide good female role models to our children?
Having said all of that I find that very difficult to 'align' with my feelings
about the BMs in my situation. Admittedly, 5 years in (it was our 5 yr
anniversary of meeting two days ago) I've got over the 'slut, whore, trailer
trash' thing.
I am all for celebrating all sides of women whatever they choose to do. But
then I start thinking about women who do porn movies or prostitutes and I still
hate that. So I'm working on it.
Just thought it was interesting that's all!

OK, I'm all for this. My only input is on the "us" and "them" nature of
the whole concept. I don't have any wonderful solution or easy way to
look at it, just that at some point I recognised that men and women were
a single species - really took that on board. I started seeing that *any*
problem or dis-ease that was occurring in apparently only one sex was
also occurring in the other, albeit probably buried.
Not provable I know, but it certainly got me looking differently at
things, and created a great deal of ease where there was previously
discord. It required my partner of the time to take it on board too.

The big print giveth and the small print taketh away
My co-workerJeni and I were talking about her favorite store, the local
Wal-mart and her excitement about getting a new Target in her hometown. I
told her about my local Wal-mart... it's really really nasty... I said it
just made me uncomfortable going in there, because it was so dirty and the
clothing looked like stuff that poor folk or trailer trash would wear....
Everyone cracked up because Jeni also lives in a mobile home!!! So I was
duly embarrassed because not only had I slammed her favorite shopping store,
but I hit her with the trailer trash thing as well!!! The next day, I
bought her a bar of Godiva chocolate... with a note that said I hoped that
she would enjoy it... and forgive me! She replied back that she did and
that she loved it because as trailer trash that shops at Wal-mart, she
didn't get those luxuries too often!
It was funny at the time.....
My ex used to call me the queen of his single-wide trailer.... YUCK!!!
I have a question now... since we have a pop-up camper... doesn't this make
me a trailer trash wannabe???
It's all in good fun!!!

BTW, he and his new wife had their babies... twin girls, they came early...
but my kids want nothing to do with the babies either.... oh well.. as I've

Just tagging on to Nikki because I love her name *grin*
My whole point in arguing the "trailer park trash" thing is... not
everyone who lives in a manufactured home is trash. It's like saying
that every rich person is greedy. Or every colored person is bad. It's
just another stereotype... and I hate stereotyping.
Hugs to Nikki, *smile*

(Who actually today just decided to purchase a different manu home and
it's all Louise's fault. *g*)
I just wanted to stick my two cents in here, in defense of the housing
issue...I lived in a manufactured home(of course, they were still
called trailers then)for a few years when I was in grade school...and I
still miss it. My mom lives in a mobile home, and it's bigger and nicer
than most "real" houses I've seen. As the cost of housing here is
getting to be so high, DH and I plan to buy a manu home, sometime in
the next few years....I dont see a thing wrong with it. I think it's
pretty mean to judge a person based on where they live...or their
physical/mental status, their sex, job, how they dress, look, feel,
etc.....
(congrats on the decision, Nicole! Happy home shopping!)
