6 Of My Personal Beliefs

As a feminist I believe in equality throughout the genders, and here are six things that I personally believe in to prove it.

Many people have think about feminism in the wrong way. They think that being a feminist means that you believe that women are better than men. Personally, I think that being a feminist means that you believe women and men are equals. To prove that, here are ten things that I believe because of feminism.

1. You should take turns cooking

My mom, a woman who believes in traditional gender roles, does the cooking every night. To me this is an outrage. Can't my stepdad get up and do equally as well in the kitchen? Apparently not because it is the "woman's job." Since we are all equals, there is no "woman's job" or "man's job" especially in terms of cook. We should just take turns cooking with our significant other. Better yet, we can cook together while bonding over our delicious food.

2. Abortion Rights

This is a controversial topic that many people, including some feminists, don't believe in. Personally, I think abortion rights are important because a woman will get an abortion whether you want her to or not, and she has the right to because it is her body. I would never have an abortion, but I think they should be safe, legal, and rare (part of the Democratic platform).

3. Take turns washing the dogs

Giving dogs a bath is not a simple task, and it is not one that someone should do every week if they have their significant other to help out. Take turns being frustrated and soaked for that hour on the weekends. I would say do it together, but as someone who washes dogs for a living I know that that is near to impossible. This is something where taking turns is vital.

4. You cannot grab a woman by the p***y

Since the recent election results, people have gone around doing this. It has only been a few people with a few victims. Regardless, this is something that shouldn't even happen in the first place. Let me grab you by your genitals infront of your wife or girlfriend when I don't even know you. That's how it feels when it happens to us.

5. Education equality

Education is one of the most vital pieces of social survival in the modern world, but some countries still favor the education of men over women. This is an outrage. Men and women have equal thinking skills, and have equal intelligence. This should be shown through centralized education that doesn't favor a specific sex.

6. Work place equality

All over the world women and men do not have work place equality. Some jobs favor women by paying them more, and some jobs favor men in the same way. Either way it needs to stop. Since both genders are equal, we must treat them as equal by giving them equal pay and equal job opportunities.

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.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
