I am all for equal rights for women, female empowerment, ending rape culture and "slut" shaming, but the feminist movement today is something I don't stand with. This whole making men lesser than women, free-bleeding and free the nipple movement is honestly stupid.

First of all, making men beneath us isn't making us equal. This kind of counteracts the making women equal thing we have going on. By making men less than us, we aren't doing anything for women other than making us feel better in what has frankly become a pity party. Feminists are getting a little extreme. I want equal pay and equal job opportunities. I wanted to have the same advantages and disadvantages in education and work force as men do. That is what equal is. Trying to make men less is like trying to get a free pass just because we have boobs and a period once a month.

Second of all, why on God's green earth would someone want to walk around bleeding freely? That is probably the most disgusting thing I have ever heard of. I get that it's not fair that tampons are expensive and, in some places, there is an extra tax on feminine hygiene products. However, that doesn't mean you let you blood just go. I don't want to see it. It is bad enough that I along pretty much every other woman deals with it every month, but come on. It's life. Thank Eve for it when you get to Heaven. There is no sense in ruining perfectly good undies and clothes to make a point. You're losing more money.

If you want to walk around with out a bra that is fine, go for it. But please, for all that is good in the world, do not walk around shirtless as a woman. There is a bit of a difference between women's boobs and men's boobs. Why is this even a paragraph in this article? I mean, do what you want. It is a free country, but why is it a movement? There are bigger issues that feminists need to be tackling. JUST SAYING!

Please don't take this as me being a woman against women because I'm not. I just think this has gotten out of hand and stupid issues are getting more attentio than important issues.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
