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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
