10 Reasons My Dog Is A Feminist
Colleen Daly

In This Article:

Dogs are a gift that we, humans, do not deserve. They are man's, and woman's, best friend and they love us both equally. A lot of people seem to think that feminist is women hating men or wanting to be better than men. Well, that is not the case, at least in my definition of the word. So wouldn't that mean everyone is a feminist? I know I am and my dog most certainly is too. Why? Well, let me tell you.

1. She wears pink 

Pink isn't just for girls, but we can proudly wear it without it being a gender norm.

2. She's protective

She rightfully guards her people even if the threat isn't yet known, aka a deer in the back yard or the ups man dropping off a package. But hey, she's still got your back.

3. She doesn't like being pushed around

That other dog stiffing her butt didn't ask if he could and she is not happy about it.

4. She gets excited about the little victories

We're going for a walk? YAY. I get a cookie? YAY. Basic human rights? YAY.

5. Everyone's the same to her

She's not picky about where her belly scratches come from.

6. She loves people

She might bark when you first walk through the door but she warms up pretty quickly if you prove you can be trusted.

7. She's a good listener

Ears perked up and head tilted to the side? You can discuss anything with her, no judgement.

8. She knows her place

And that is not in the kitchen... unless there's a chance that food will be dropped on the floor while cooking dinner.

9. She's supportive

Always down for a cuddle session when you need one.

10. She senses wrong doing

Something's not right? She knows it and so do you.

Still confused? It's not that difficult. My dog is a feminist. That's it.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
