Maybe Men Aren't The Only Pigs

Maybe Men Aren't The Only Pigs

Girls are the cruelest creatures to ever walk the earth and the older I get, the more I realize how much they get away with it. Think way back to elementary school when boys used to chase you on the play ground. Who got in trouble? The boys. Now, turn it around. I do not remember a single time my girl friends and I got in trouble for chasing boys. Fast forward 20 years and now the "play ground" is different. It is now your college campus, the bars, concerts, and wherever you and your friends hang out, and yet some of you girls are acting just the same.

I am constantly hearing how men are the pigs for hitting on the girl in the skimpy clothes, flirting with the cute girl at the party when he is in a relationship, hooking up with the girl at the bar that may be a little too drunk or taking a girl home when he shouldn't be. Let me ask you this girls...how many of you are the ones in those skimpy clothes? Letting the guy with the girlfriend hit on you? Being the girl that's a little too drunk at the bar? Or taking a boy home when you shouldn't be?

You know who you are. You are 110% just as guilty. How come you don't get called a pig for that? How come it is okay to shame and belittle men but as soon as a girl is called out for their shameful acts, they try to use every excuse society has in the book? Forget the excuses. It is not okay, and for some reason our generation thinks it is acceptable to put all the blame on the guys, and it has to stop. You know he has a girlfriend. You know you are asking for attention when you wear those spandex around and show up to the bar in a "shirt" that looks like a bra.

Don't get me wrong, I am not by any means excusing the behavior of some men, but we hold just as much as the blame. Our generation is lacking self respect and common decency more and more every day. As females, we know how much it sucks to be a girl, so stop being the reasons for each other's trust issues. Stop chasing the wrong boys on the playground. Respect him. Respect yourself. Respect the girl at the other end. Stop blaming the boys of our generation on our behavior. Put some clothes on, correctly represent those Jesus tattoos, take responsibility, and keep your hands where they belong.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
