Dear Modern Feminism

You suck.

Dear Modern Feminism

The word is history, not her-story. There are two genders, and women don't have it as bad as they think they do. I'm an 18 year old woman, and usually people automatically assume that I am a huge feminist and believe that women deserve more rights than men. I'm a traditional girl, I don't think men are being condescending when they want to hold doors open or cover the check. I think it's gentlemanly and a dating habit that needs to be more popular.

Modern feminists slam girls for having flat stomachs, saying that they aren't real women or that they photoshop their bodies, but claim to be body positive. They think that men should breastfeed (something that isn't really possible so give that one up, ladies). I saw a photo on Twitter that stated "Cats are independent and feminine, which is why you must never trust a man who doesn't like them," because allergies and personal preferences are obviously not a thing.

I'm usually not one to bash someone's beliefs, but modern feminazism isn't fair to anyone. They think that one gender is superior to the other, which is exactly what feminism isn't. Feminism is wanting equal rights; something that everyone wants. It's not calling men supremacists because they believe that men are naturally more muscular and strong (which, news flash, they are) or if you believe that fathers don't have the right to want something for their children.

I truly believe that women need to support women, we go through a lot more shit than men. But that doesn't mean that men are not essential to this society and the world in general. But when women are the ones slamming other women, they don't get to call themselves body positive or that they love all women.

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.
