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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
