Tomi Lahren Is A Pro-Choice Anti-Feminist?

I bet you never heard those two phrases put together in one sentence before.

Tomi Lahren Is A Pro-Choice Anti-Feminist?

Everyone knows who Tomi Lahren is, along with her conservative viewpoints all across their Facebook feed, but what some may not know is she is pro-choice. Now this may come as a shock to many--liberals and conservatives--but I couldn't grasp how she could be against feminism and call herself pro-choice all at once.

If you don't believe me, check this out: (Skip to 7:38)

Now she believes in having a choice as a woman all while saying this: (Skip to 1:37)

If those "final thoughts" didn't convince you she is anti-feminist, maybe this article will.

So, can Tomi Lahren be both pro-choice and anti-feminist?

I understand going against stereotypes--in fact I am a pro-life feminist myself--but Tomi's quote on why she is pro-choice was said just like a feminist would say it. She said, "Stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well."

She sees the problems happening with women today, but she isn't hesitant to criticize when someone tries to do something about it. In this video, she even pointed out specific problems that women have today, but she claims that feminists aren't "preaching" about those issues but rather different ones. The feminist movement today is about all issues women face, including the examples Tomi Lahren gave in the video. An issue is the image women are in a the eyes of others based on stereotypes. My favorite part was when she tried to make women feel empowered.

What is the movement of feminism really about? It's still the same today as it was years ago. We want to both keep the progress we've made so far and continue to make progress.

Feminism today is about empowering women.

Feminists can in a wide variety and range of different types of feminists. Pro-choice feminists believe in equality--including the images of women today and to keep the government "out of my body as well." Pro-life feminists believe in equality--including images of women today, but the only difference is pro-lifers see abortion as killing a baby.

Tomi Lahren is the exact definition of a pro-choice feminist. Then again, maybe she's to lazy to do something about the issues she sees. If this were the case, she would not be a feminist in any way.

Feminists with such a big following would use their platform as a voice to help change the issues at hand. Anti-feminists with such a big following would complain about the feminists who are trying to do something about the issues at hand.

So maybe someone can be both pro-choice and anti-feminist.

I still wonder why she can call herself this. Could she be scared to use her voice? As a feminist, I would tell Tomi to not be scared; instead, take courage and go change the world. Many feminists across the globe could only wish to have the voice Tomi has.

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!
