I'm A Nasty Woman, And Proud Of It
Olga Shvartsur

For every woman, person of color, LGBTQ+, persons who are disabled, and all others feeling victimized:

You may be my president but,

You are not a reflection of me. I will never support your bigoted beliefs. Your actions and words don't align with mine. Your blatant disrespect for minorities does not reflect my love for all people or all walks of life. Your discontent toward the LGBTQ community does not display my acceptance for all. Your disregard of global warming is disheartening to hear. Your mocking of the disabled does not show how compassionate I am.

You may be my president but,

I do not owe you respect after the disrespect that has been spewing from your mouth since the minute you began your campaign. I do not owe you support because you do not support me. I see your plans; I see your future and I do no accept what will come.

You may be my president but,

As a woman, as someone who cares about women, I refuse to listen to your openly sexist remarks. I do not owe you my body, though you may think otherwise. I do not owe you respect because you are a man. I do not owe you anything, simply because of my gender.

You may be my president but,

You are not for me and I will NOT get over it. You do not reflect me and i will NOT get over it. Call me stubborn, call me dumb but I won't shut up, and I won't back down. I will roar loud, so be prepared.


Sincerely,

A Nasty Woman

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
