To Those Who Hate Feminism, It's Not About Hating Men

Feminism is about equality. Please stop tarnishing it with your lies.

equality for all sign

Men and women are not biologically equal, that's for sure. But the human body is not the issue here. The real issues are "the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes." These are the topics that matter in the definition and truth behind feminism.

Women have become stronger over the past four decades. We are intelligent, we are able to attend college, we are able to have children, or not. We can work, we are able to curate our own lives. Yes, this may be the "best time for women," but it's not where it needs to be.

Just because people are slightly more accepting of women's choices doesn't mean things need to stop here. We have more room to grow, as women, as men, as a coherent society.

Men and women are not equal, specifically in the places where it counts. Women are naturally intuitive, they are intelligent. Men are naturally resilient and strong, but they aren't giant oafs.

True feminism is going through defamation today. There are plenty of bad examples given by people who hate feminism and people who are extreme feminists (which also shouldn't be called feminism when it's just about hating men).

Extreme feminism is only fueling the fire. People who are extreme feminists give the rest of us a bad reputation. They can come off very harsh and cause people to get the wrong idea about gender equality.

Feminism is an important example of what this country needs. Equality among the sexes would bring us closer together as a nation.

Like I said in my previous article, political views in this country are very separated. The moments we've had in this country in the past two years have been split politically, racially, socially.

Humans deserve to be treated equally and with respect.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
