"A Women's Job Shouldn't Include Leaving The Kitchen."

I Am Sick Of Listening To Idiot Male Chauvinists.

"A Women's Job Shouldn't Include Leaving The Kitchen."

By no means am I a feminist. However, there are some ignorant comments that I just can't get past.

For instance, "A woman should learn their trade and start working in the kitchen at a young age."

First of all, no. "A woman" should do whatever their heart desires. Yes, at one point in our history women mostly resided in the kitchen. The difference with that comment today, is that there have been tremendous milestones in fighting for equal rights of women. These milestones may not even be directly correlated to the idealisms of extreme feminists, but merely day-to-day activities or lifestyles that a woman can feel comfortable participating in rather than being constricted to the kitchen.

"If women don't have skills in the kitchen, they will have problems finding a husband because it's unattractive."

A woman speaking out for her own personal desires and dreams is unattractive? If that's the case, then I don't want to get married. We've gotten to a point in society where it is acceptable for a man to be in charge of the kitchen, while the woman has not a clue how to even toast a bagel. If there is a man who is specifically looking for a woman to cook for him, then he would be more successful in creating a time machine so that he can find a woman who doesn't mind being treated so poorly.

There is a major difference between looking for a woman who is a good cook and looking for a woman for the sole purpose of cooking for you.

The sad part is, some people actually believe in all of that. They believe that women should not have any part of functioning at a level remotely close to the men. They believe that a constantly evolving society is wrong.

Those people, in which I am referring to as "they" are ignorant male chauvinists who see nothing but black and white. Again, I am not a feminist, but I am also not an idiot.

I'm not an idiot and I am also not afraid to call someone out when they're dead wrong.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
