10 Tips On Using Misogyny To Your Advantage

Apparently, misogyny and sexism are here to stay for at least another decade - the fight for equality is a long and hard one. But there are some positives to this terrible mistreatment! Here are some tips to make the best of the society we live in.


1. Some things are just a man's job.

Try telling a man "This seems like a man's job, could you show me how/ help me to do this?" and watch them take over the task in seconds flat. You'll never be caught dead doing a man's job again!

2. Use girl talk to get some privacy.

Guys don't want to hear about clothes and makeup. If that guy won't leave you alone, try using girl talk to make it uncomfortable for him. If this doesn't work try mentioning literally anything about menstruation. Hello, privacy!

3. Free drinks.

Do I need to say more?

4. Women are weak.

Have to lift something heavy or are feeling tired from carrying a bag? Remind the nearest man of how weak you are based on the simple fact that you are a woman and watch the man turn into a superhero saving the damsel in distress.

5. They need to have an equal number of men and women in programs.

Go get into programs you shouldn't be in just because you have a vagina. They need to report a balanced ratio, and here you are, so take advantage of them!

6. Lady problems.

Don't want to do something? The only excuse you need is your "lady problems" and you can do (or not do) whatever you want. What man wants to deal with that? They will just stop asking questions and leave you to your business.

7. I'm a bitch.

Once you're labeled as a bitch you'll never go back. If they're going to call you a bitch for every choice you make in life why not just do what you want. Don't be forced to be ladylike and kind. Live your life. Never back down.

8. You're a sex object.

Men will do anything in the hopes of getting laid. Play the game as long as you can. Get free meals, get your male coworkers to do your job for you, get male students to do your homework for you. This one holds endless possibilities so don't take it for granted. You're just a piece of meat to them so why aren't you letting them pay for you? Be the most expensive steak you can be but don't feel obligated to let them eat you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
