5 Songs To Listen To While Smashing The Patriarchy



As an unknown author once wrote, "To feel like a queen is as simple as believing you are one."

In the year 2018, we are closer now than ever to gender equality, even if we aren't completely there just yet. Nevertheless, every woman deserves to feel like a queen and every queen needs a cool playlist to listen to while smashing the Patriarchy.

1. "Most Girls" - Hailee Steinfeld

One of the biggest misconceptions in complimenting women is that you have to tear other women down in order to do it. You don't have to tear down other queens' crowns to lift ours up. Real queens help straighten each others' crowns.

2. "Woman" - Kesha

You already knew this was a given.
In this song, Kesha gives credit to women for being independent and bada** all on their own without any help from anyone else.

3. "Flawless" Remix- Beyoncé ft Nicki Minaj

Okay but the video literally opens up with the definition for feminism. COME ON.
Proclaim with Queen Bey and Nicki that you woke up like this and show off your crown.

4,. "I'm Legit"- Nicki Minaj

This song is almost as good for when you're feelin' yourself as the previous in this list. Almost any Nicki song could fill this spot, but this one definitely is a shout out to the independent queens.

5. "Run The World (Girls)"- Beyoncé

Once again, you already knew this would be on the list. Who run the world? GIRLS! (obvs)

Take these songs and play them with your girlfriends with the windows down singing with huge smiles on your faces. Or while you smash the patriarchy and bypass every stereotypically male idea in our society. Or both. You be the judge, queen.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
