To The Girl That Ruined Feminism For Me

There is a difference between being an activist and just plan crazy.

You know who you are (well at least you should know),

I spent every day last year sitting next to you in class and listening to you go on and on and on and on about what Feminism is and why you advocate for it so much.

But, you're the reason I will never be a feminist. You're the reason I go insane whenever I hear that word. You're the reason I hate feminism.

There is a difference between being an activist and plan crazy. You, my friend, are crazy.

Every day it was a different story with you. Monday it would be you want equal rights. Tuesday some boy made you angry, and now you're pissed. On Wednesday you were still upset about Tuesday. Thursday another boy would get on your nerves, and you would rant on and on about it. And Friday was always Feminist Friday, quickly making Friday my least favorite day of the week. To make it even better, the following week it would happen all over again. I would want to bang my head against the wall all class.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for women having equal rights and equal pay, but I think it is going too far. Why does it have to be such a big deal that women are moving up in the world? Why can't it just be a thing that the world recognizes says, "Cool" and moves on? The world can keep spinning and time can continue. If the world keeps on identifying it and stopping, we are only running back into the past.

I support women who work hard for what they want because they deserve it, but once someone starts complaining about how it is not fair that men are "better" than they are, I tap out. That is when I put my foot down, and I'm done.

To me, being a women means I need to work harder to show the world that I am on the same level as them and maybe even better than them. That pushes me even harder to go for my goal and crush it.

"What she tackles, she conquers" is not only my favorite quote, but it should be to every so-called feminist. Every female in the world needs to shut up, stop complaining about how we are not equal to males and go for it. If you want that promotion, work harder than everyone else to get it! If you want a raise and your boss isn't giving to you, find a different job!

To the person that ruined feminism for me, thank you.

You're the reason I will be working harder than you ever will so I can prove to you that being a feminist is not all it is cracked up to be.

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.

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!
