To Boys Who've Decided It's All Good To Slut Shame Women

Yes, I'm calling you a boy because men know better. They know that a woman's worth doesn't depend on how many sexual encounters she has had. If she has had sex with a lot of guys, FINE. How is that any of your business? Why do you feel the need to comment on it? Are you jealous that you weren't picked?

Because you know deep down she is a dynamic, beautiful, strong woman that you would be lucky to have. But you don't want others to think so for some reason. So you cut her down and shame her so others will slap you on the back and laugh at her even though she's just expressing her natural human right to sexuality and you are just an asshole.

It's because of people like you that adults are blaming women getting raped on the women, rather than on the men doing the raping.

"Just don't wear provocative clothing," they say. "And don't encourage it. If you flirt with a guy and start to hook up with him, they're going to expect you to have sex with them so don't be surprised if you get raped. You were asking for it." A woman has every right to stop someone and say no if she doesn't feel comfortable. She doesn't owe you sex just because she has been flirting with you.

She doesn't owe you sex period. So don't get all tight when she (seemingly) "chooses" every guy but you. It's her body and her choice.

It's because of people like you that women aren't being taken seriously in the workplace. It's why male co-workers feel the need to make unnecessary comments about a female worker's body, even when that has nothing to do with the job they're supposed to be doing.

It's why some assholes like you don't consider women as capable leaders because you view them only as sexual objects. An object created sorely to please you. A prop to gyrate seductively against you like in a rap video, not voice her opinions, and just go along with whatever you say even if what you say is stupid.

Well, news flash. Real life is not a rap video. You have to treat women with respect. You have to use respectful language when addressing and describing them.

Women's' purpose in life is not to prove our bodies are hot enough for you. We out here getting PhDs, running businesses, breaking into male-dominated fields, and smashing through glass ceilings. We don't have time to please assholes like you.

If a woman decides to express her sexuality that does not make it okay for you to publicly shame her. She is just living her life and if you don't like the way she does it, fine. Just leave her alone and let her do her.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
