Is Feminism Just Hatred In Disguise?

I'm a female who appreciates the roles men play in society.

The definition of feminism is, "The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social and economic equality to men." While I can easily say I agree to this definition I do have an issue with the extreme feminists out there in today's society.

Yes, males and females should be equally paid and have the same perks in life; it is 2016, after all. However, I can't help but notice on my social media accounts how people (mainly female) are posting statuses and pictures of how men suck and a woman can handle any job a man can. I disagree. Being a female myself, I know when to admit I need help. Sometimes you need a man to lift the heavy box for you. Call me crazy but I still want a guy to hold the door open for me and pay for the dinner. Not to mention -- to all you "feminists" out there -- we need men to reproduce if we want to. Radical feminists have a reputation of being extreme and refusing to be open-minded. Most of the feminists on my social media platforms are Hillary Clinton supporters just because of the sheer fact that she is female. I believe that a feminist should support equal rights but at the same time own up when a male is in the right.

I'm going to list a few quotes from some "feminists" below. I just want you to analyze them:

"The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race." - Sally Miller Gearhart

"Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice." - Andrea Dworkin

"I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig." - Andrea Dworkin

Those quotes don't shout equality or justice. Instead it proposes that men ultimately should be eliminated from the world. Men are portrayed as sadistic rapists whereas a woman has no choice in her life and needs to beat her man in order to escape. These extreme feminists are setting a bad example for the younger generations. I don't believe shaming a man or being violent is the way to show people that females need equal rights. At the end of the day, these feminists are no better than the men who degraded them.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
