If Men Were Treated Like Women

They wouldn't know what to do

If Men Were Treated Like Women
Huffington Post

It's something that's often disregarded in day-to-day life because men and women are, simply put, different. So naturally, they're treated differently. But if you spend more time one the matter, you see how over-sexualized and belittled women are in today's society just for being women.

I mean could you imagine if:

A man didn't get hired for the job because he wasn't pretty enough.
A guy's significant other made comments about his weight that eventually led to an eating disorder.
A man was asked if he was on his period because he was acting slightly emotional.
A man walking home by himself got cat-called by a group of women.
A guy was told to "stop being such a bitch" because he stood up for himself.
Female coworkers made sexual remarks about the male secretary and suffered no repercussions because "girls will be girls."
A man was blamed for his own rape because he was wearing a revealing v-neck.
Men were pressured to look like the men on magazine covers.
A male athlete was told to "stop playing like a man."
A girl came up behind a boy at a party and started dancing on him without even asking his name.
Some sexist comments were made about "a man's place being in the home."
A boy was offered something for free as long as he flashed the girls his tits.
A male worker is told he is making less than his female partner...for the same job.
And so on...

And the worst part is, most men don't know any other way to act because most women in our society have learned to accept being treated this way. But if the roles were reversed, we know men wouldn't take any crap from sexist women. So why should women take any crap from sexist men?

Oh, and if you want further examples, watch these BuzzFeed videos:

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
