NBA Wives Are Not A Reflection Of Their Husbands

Waging women against each other affects all of us.

NBA Wives Are Not A Reflection Of Their Husbands

Trophy wives. A major part of the American ideal for many men. She's the topping on the cake of his accomplishments. Recently, Ayesha Curry has been the ideal American trophy wife. With the "darling smile" and a career that though successful, isn't something America tends to see as a big accomplishment. But let's get real, we order out more than we order in so without people like herself, a majority of us would hurt.

Ayesha hit the hearts of many men with her willingness to stand by her husband and still have time for her kids. During game six of the NBA finals, Americans' hearts turned on their sweetheart. When Ayesha chose to express her feelings about the game and an incident with her father that took place during the game on social media, twitter lashed out. When she became an actual person, her popularity declined.

One commentator stated that she is the wife of Steph Curry and should be a reflection of her husband. They devalued not only her as a person but also the career she worked so hard to achieve, as if her choosing to be his wife is a job rather than a role she gladly accepted.

As if that comment wasn't bad enough, the commentator continued to say that Ayesha should then take cues from Savannah James who is married to LeBron James of the opposing team. The similarities in the relationship have led the media to constantly compare the two. Both were high school sweethearts that ended up marrying and having children with. However, the media tends to afflict the women against each other rather than lifting them up with articles like "Who's Hotter: Savannah James or Ayesha Curry." This continuous cycle of undermining women as people and pitting them against each other has only cause more and more of a nuisance in our society.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
