"Platica De Hombres"

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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
