In This New Age of Feminism No One is Above Respect

Call me crazy, but when I am nice to other ladies, I would like them to be nice back.

I cannot stress this enough, women supporting each other has to be something that is considered cool again. No, I am not going to come at you with all that artificial feminism crap. I mean, let's strip down. No race, political party, or social class involved. We are all women dealing with the same things: periods, men, and life. So it comes down to the real issue. Why are women so petty? Just because someone is different than you, when did that suddenly make it okay to be mean to one another?

I have this coworker who makes it a point to put me down any chance she has. Since she is above me in the work place, I make sure not to upset her. I started thinking today if this is what it has come to? When someone treats us badly we are just supposed to sit there and take it. As women, we should all be on the same team, we are all there selling one specific product and working towards a common goal. Working together makes things easier, that's for sure, and working against each other makes everything just that much harder. I am starting to understand the workplace and why there are so many issues with it, especially within this new surge of female power.

Another thing that upsets me is when you see a girl you think is super pretty, so you smile and they don't give a smile back. They actually give you a rude face. Yeah, that is not okay. I like your eyebrows and I want to make it known. Accusing me of only liking them because you are of some ethnic origin is completely rude. I don't wanna make this piece political, but honestly, it's what I do. I wish women in general would stop acting like if you aren't a Hillary-loving-vagina-wearing-democrat you suddenly aren't part of this idea of a proud strong woman. That is how hardcore new age feminism makes me feel, like I am on the outside. Correct me if I am wrong, but that seems to be the opposite of the goal of new age feminism. I want to bring back the idea that you can be a feminist without being a Democrat. This article in general is highlighting the fact that women have become so different and diverse that we are even willing to stake our lives based on who we vote for. That's wrong, let's be nice and listen to each other, Democrats and Republicans alike. And to the Democrats, I am talking to you: do not antagonize me because I like the Trump family, that is my choice.

I think I speak for us all when I say girls should really work on being nicer to each other because no one is above respect.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
