Womanly Always
Huffington Post

Gender stratification is a hot topic of debate it seems like these days, women are beginning to stand up and fight for the equality they believe they should have with men and striving to shatter traditional house rules. While I don't agree that women should have to stay home to raise a family, I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. I believe there are certain things that overall women are naturally better at than men. I also believe that men overall are just better at certain things; of course, there's always exceptions in any situation, but that's not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about is what it means, to me, to be womanly always.

To be womanly always to me means to be strong. To be strong enough to overcome the unknown obstacles life will inevitably throw at us. To be strong enough to keep going when you feel like quitting and to be strong enough to lift a friend up when they're down. A strong woman knows when to say no, when she's had enough, and when it's time to walk away.


To be womanly to me means to love before hate. Take the opinions other people have given you about people and let them go in one ear and out the other. Choose to love people, despite others opinions about them. A woman who loves is a woman who can be nothing but loved.


Independent: a woman who is independent can conquer the world as far as I am concerned. A woman who is determined to obtain her goals on her own is a force to be reckoned with.


To be womanly is to know that you are beautiful and that you are not perfect, but that you are learning from your mistakes every day to become a better you tomorrow.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
