As A Feminist, This Is My Problem With Tomi Lahren

Lahren, where are your facts?

Tomi Lahren,

You speak your mind and use the first amendment freely. Yet, I have heard you countless times talk down to people who also practice that right. Why is this? What kind of freedom of speech and protesting is correct to you? We have people peacefully protesting or taking a knee and that is just too vulgar for you.

You speak of this free and loving country so much, but when someone practices their right to freedom of speech you are the first to try and shut them up.

The same country you speak of that shouts "support our troops and vets" yet they leave them in the dust when they come home from war. They are in poverty and suffering from PTSD, but you don't hear anyone yelling "support our troops" then.

What about comparing Black Lives Matter to the KKK? You are telling me that a group of human beings who are fighting for their voices to be heard after centuries of oppression are similar to a white supremacist group who endorses your President-elect?

The same one who speaks ill of women in which you praise so highly. You also say that, "feminism isn't about equality, it is about man-bashing and free birth control."

I have something to say then. Why are feminists the ones to shut down gender norms and fight for a man when it comes to societal pressure on being masculine and "manly?" Why is it so bad that we have inexpensive birth control, when most women that are on birth control have to take it for medical reasons?

I am sorry that you are blind to your own discrimination. You too are a woman and have probably dealt with sexist people who do not believe you have a place in society. When in fact, you do because you are a human being. So, I will continue fighting for your right to sit at that desk and scream at feminists because you deserve equal pay and inexpensive birth control.

Your statements made on your show seem to me like misguided unsupported opinions. Like the ones where you degrade the LGBT community by saying their valid sexuality is that of a "social experiment." In which I have to say to you where are your facts and statistics? As a queer woman, I am pretty sure my sexuality is not an experiment. You may think our lifestyles are a choice, but that is an opinion not backed up by anything other than homophobia.

Sincerely,

A pissed off leftist.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
