"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.

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.

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.
