Cat-Calling Is Not A Problem
today.yougov.com

It's a well known fact that just about every woman on this planet has been or will be cat-called, multiple times, within her lifetime. It ain't pretty and it's actually quite embarrassingly-unsolicited. These songs are perfect responses to any cat-calling experience. Shut-em-down with these tunes... And you'll be sure to turn heads this time.


1. "No Scrub" - TLC

If you don't wanna let them down easy, be blunt about it. TLC has been shutting down cat-callers with this one since 1999. And they have no mercy--but why should we?


2. "No" - Meghan Trainor

Just say "NO," even if you have to be a little flamboyant about it. Trainor's got you covered... on a confident note. She's definitely not subtle but neither are cat-callers, hmm?


3. "I Don't Need a Man" - The Pussycat Dolls

Turn down those unwanted, so called "compliments," with your establishment as an independent woman. Kudos for feminism.


4. "Kitty Kat" - Empress Of



Question them. Make them feel uncomfortable with their own words with this pretty melody.


5. "Catcall" - Jamie Kilstein and The Agenda


"Hey baby, [insert sexually explicit comment here]." ---make them see things from your point of view with this acoustic-genius.


6. "Hey Mami" - Sylvan Esso

This deep melody speaks beautifully against cat-calling.


7. "Fuck You" - Lily Allen

If you feel harassed, disrespected, and fed up with the cat calling... this song gets the point across.


8. "Single Ladies" - Beyoncé

Thrive in your independence and kick em' to the curb.


9. "Paper Gangster" - Lady GaGa

Call them out... as GaGa says we "don't need no Paper Gangsters."


10. "Up Out My Face" - Mariah Carey Ft. Nicki Minaj

Need we say more than this?


11. "Take a Hint" - Victorious Cast

Nothing says "I'm not interested" like a girl who wants you to take the hint--and bombastically sings about it.


12. "Alejandro" - Lady GaGa

His name may not be Alejandro, but GaGa wants him to know it was over before it started. Thanks, but, no thanks.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
