Ariana Grande And SNL Women Create Skit Promoting Feminism

Ariana Grande is an outspoken feminist. With her new album titled "Dangerous Woman," her opinions about feminism and strong women are sure to seep through. To promote her new album and stance on feminists, she joined up with the "Saturday Night Live" women and created a video about the issues and controversies of being a feminist in today's society, while still keeping the video lighthearted and somewhat sarcastic.

The song, appropriately titled #FeministSong, explains that it is so hard to create a song for feminists without offending anyone. Similarly, it is hard to stand up and say anything promoting a certain stance of feminism without offending anyone. Ariana Grande herself was famously mocked for her feminism and sexuality by Bette Midler when Midler commented on her clothing and performance style: "you don't have to make a whore out of yourself to get ahead," to which Grande responded by saying, "Bette was always a feminist who stood for women being able to do whatever the F they wanted without judgement! Not sure where that Bette went but I want that sexy mermaid back!!!" Grande has continued to uphold her opinions on feminism and the double standards of women and their sexuality on Twitter especially.

In the song, the "SNL" women and Grande gloriously sing "every woman has a struggle, and every struggle's real, but just try and write a song that captures every woman's deal." To combat this struggle of not offending anyone or not mentioning every woman's struggle, the main line of the chorus hilariously states "this is not a feminist song, 'cause we were scared we would do it wrong."

The funny parody sketch ends with "this is not a feminist song, we are just women singing along. But wait, doesn't that mean it's a feminist song?" The chorus then changes to "this is a feminist song." It makes the audience realize that being a feminist is most importantly about standing up for women, whether you are speaking out about it or performing a silly SNL skit about it. Ariana Grande and the SNL women also show that there should be a positive connotation with being a feminist because often feminists are only viewed as women who don't shave and are angry at men. By keeping the video lighthearted, it makes an impact without being too pushy and the audience gets more out of the song.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
