11 Signs You Might Be Dealing With Some Internalized Misogyny
Favim
  1. You say you hang out with boys because girls are “too much drama”


2. You make fun of people for drinking “chick drinks”

A margarita? Uh sorry do you have any ~real~ alcohol? Like a PBR or something?


3. You assure possible love interests that you’re not “one of those girls”

You know, one of those dumb girls with emotions who wants to be treated with respect! Haha! I’d never ask for that!!


4. You make fun of other girls for “trying too hard” to look attractive, never letting on that you try pretty hard yourself

Lol look at those dumb girls who are affected by our ridiculous beauty standards, I’m way too chill for that *applies tasteful brown mascara*


5. In a similar vein, you make fun of girls who “don’t eat”

Psh diets! I’ve never felt any pressure to be thin! I love cheeseburgers! Jennifer lawrence is my spirit animal!!


6. The highest compliment anyone could ever give you is “you’re not like other girls”

Good I’ve spent every moment of my life making sure of it


7. You laugh at sexist jokes because you don’t want to be a “killjoy”

Oh haha, yeah I'll go make you a sandwich, good one Jeremy!!


8. You find yourself saying things like “I’m sorry, I was overreacting” frequently

You’re right, I should never have admitted something hurt my feelings. Don't worry about me because im LOW MAINTENANCE


9. You do not identify as a feminist

C'mon guys, I don't hate men!!!


10. You take a lot of pride in qualifying as “one of the boys” and will do anything to keep that status

I like video games and watching sports and am therefore superior to all female identifying people who don't!!!


11. You read this, got offended, and thought something along the lines of “sorry I'm not some dumb girly girl”

You dont need to be ashamed of identifying as a girl!!! Please don't let society tell you otherwise!!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
