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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
