5 Things Women Are Not

We don't need your validation.

I am so sick of hearing and experiencing how women are treated. We are treated like we have no brains, and we have no ideas. We are treated like emotional and hormonal wrecks. We are treated like we aren't equal in and out of the workplace. If a woman is sexually assaulted she will be blamed. They will comment on her clothes, or comment on the fact that she had a couple of drinks. No one will listen to their story. None of that is right. All women are equal in so many ways. We are even more than equal. We can carry children and get right back to work. We can start fights and end them without a single hand raised. We deserve better treatment. I am a beautiful and smart woman. I have astounding thoughts and amazing ideas. I have the attitude of a queen, and I am not afraid to share what is on my mind.

1. Women are not a phone number to fight for

A woman's phone number is not a victory. Just because you have a new number to text at night doesn't mean you are more masculine, or a better man.


2. Women are not a picture to show you friends

We understand that we are beautiful. Showing others a picture of us like your latest catch is just stupid. We aren't a deer shot down in the woods. We are people, just like you.


3. Women are not a score between 1 and 10

If we wanted to be graded on our appearance we would ask. We don't need your sarcastic remarks and below average numbers to know our worth.


4. Women are not something to brag about

When you huddle together to brag about the latest girl you like it makes you look stupid. It makes it look like you value women as objects, and not as people. Women are definitely people, and if you can't see that you might need some help.


5. Women are not your servants

We are probably doing something else like raising children or furthering our careers. We don't have time to do every single thing for you. If we can figure it out on our own, you can too.

Women can be the strongest, despite what people think. We can do anything we set out minds to. We don't live to please others. We live to please ourselves. We live to choose the life we want for ourself. We are strong and independent. We are not pictures or numbers, and we are certainly not your ego boosters.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
