Equality Between The Sexes Is Impossible

Biology says so

Equality Between The Sexes Is Impossible

Sorry feminists, but biology has debunked your goal. The advocacy of Gender Equality is the goal of all feminists, and despite it sounding noble, the term “equality” is such a loose term that it seems a bit odd. In America, are you advocating for equality under the law? That already exists. Are you advocating for equal representation, well that would lead to a female version of affirmative action, which wouldn’t lead to equal opportunity. Equality seems impossible to achieve because it just is that, impossible.

Feminist often try to claim that men and women are equal, in every way. According to a study of IQ however, that is not the case. The way men and women have their IQ distributed is very different, women tend to have a more consistent IQ that is more towards the middle of the spectrum of IQ. Men however can be considered hit or miss. More men have their IQ in the higher end than women along with the lower end when compared to women, what this means is that more male genius and male idiots exist when compared to women. This biological difference is something feminist don’t want you to believe as it makes gender equality impossible to achieve, should the IQ be distributed equally? How would this be possible? There are also biological functions that men only have and biological functions only women have. Men are the only biological sex that can produce sperm, and women are the only biological sex that can produce eggs. To deny this and claim that they’re “equal” would be absurd.

Not only is there a biological difference between men and women, but society has valued men and women differently. Not necessarily more or less, but differently. Men receive twice as long sentences as women do, for the same crime. Men are more likely to die at work, and are currently the only sex required to register for the draft. Should this be changed for equality? Should a lower standard be required for women to go into battle with men to have an equal number of men and women? Anyone who believes this needs to understand that the high standard is set so that regardless of sex, you’re the most capable on the battlefield. This isn’t sexist, this is fair. Fair is a term not often mentioned by feminists, they want to be equal but not fairly treated. To be treated fairly is to acknowledge that men and women are different, but should be treated with respect and dignity.

Fair treatment is better than equal treatment feminist, sorry.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
