La Nomalizacion de La Misoginia

Ya es algo esperado que Donald Trump salga con algún comentario faltandole el respeto a alguien o a grupos de gente enteros. El viernes salió a luz un video viejo donde Trump está hablando con Billy Bush en su camarero acerca de una mujer con la que iba trabajar esa día. Hizo comentarios muy irrespetuosos y degradantes, pero yo creo que sus comentarios indican un problema más grande en los EE.UU.

Trump a publicado un vídeo ofreciendo disculpas por las cosas que dijo, diciendo que él se ha arrepentido y ahora es una persona diferente. Justifica sus acciones diciendo que era una conversación privada entre dos hombres. Mucha gente que va a votar por el también justificaron las cosas que dijo, con la idea que muchos hombres hablan así de las mujeres en privado. Leí comentarios como, “Está hablando como cualquier hombre” o comparando lo que hizo con lo que hizo Hillary con los emails y diciendo que Hillary es peor.

Y ese es justo el problema.

El problema es que la falta de respeto a la mujer y la misoginia es tan común y tan normalizada que cuando oímos cosas como las que dijo Trump las justificamos como la plática regular de los hombres. Pero es lo normal solo porque así lo queremos. Tenemos el poder de cambiar estas mentalidades que son peligrosas porque perpetúan la falta de respeto a las mujeres.

Muchos seguidores de Trump también justificaban sus comentarios diciendo que lo que hizo Hillary Clinton es peor. Esto es problemático porque están ignorando el problema actual y no están haciendo responsable a Trump por las cosas que dijo.

Este incidente aparte de recordarnos que Trump no seria buen presidente, también pone atención en el hecho que hay muchos hombres que piensan que el faltarle el respeto a las mujeres es algo normal y común. Pero en nosotros está cambiar estas ideas, para que nuestros hijos no crezcan pensando igual.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
