An Open Questionnaire to Feminists

A brief list of questions for your consideration

Fighting for equality between the sexes is an honorable cause to fight for, regardless of gender. That is why I have some questions for those who have taken on the title of “feminist” as it relates to third wave feminism.

Do you care about high suicide rates among men?

Do you care about high incarceration rates of men?

Do you care about the difficulty of divorced fathers who want to see their children?

Have you ever had a conversation with a woman about feminism who does not identify as a feminist? Have you ever been exposed to said woman?

How do men have the ability to stand up for women’s reproductive rights? Given what feminists have claimed, that men have no right to oppose the right to an abortion because they can never experience an abortion or give birth, then it would necessarily follow that men can’t support the right to an abortion for the same reasons.

Maybe you can reconcile that beyond these simple equations I’ve found popular in liberal circles;

Agrees with us = Good

Disagrees with us = Evil

Speaking of reproductive rights, do you care about the higher rates of girls aborted than boys?

Should Gianna Jessen have died? In case you don’t know, Gianna Jessen was a woman who survived a saline abortion as an infant.

What do you have against fedoras?

I’m not saying that you need to fight for every one of these causes, but there does not seem to be very much awareness of other issues besides the big talking points, like rape culture or income inequality. There doesn’t seem to be very much consistency with your ideology.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
