I'm A Female, But I Dislike Feminists

Why do they resort to acting crazy just to say that women are equal to men?

Before I get started, let me say that I am all for women having equal rights to men and getting paid equally to their male counterparts.

That being said, I do have some feminist ways due to those beliefs. However, I don't go around protesting, making a scene in public, hating men, and assuming that all men are rapists, misogynists, cheaters, and bad people in general. I happen to know and have a close bond with some very nice men who are very caring and enjoyable to be around. To say I am disgusted with how many feminists behave these days would be an understatement.

The other day I was binge watching YouTube videos and I stumbled across a compilation video of feminists acting a fool. The vast majority of the videos made me cringe, but the one that appalled me the most consisted of a raven-haired woman walking up to random men cursing them out and calling them rapists and misogynists. Of course, the men she screamed at all looked at her like she was crazy. Even though I am a woman, I would have done the same. In fact, I would have called the police on her for carrying on the way she was. Why some people act crazy like her is beyond me.

My philosophy is that one does not have to act foolish in order to support equality and equal pay for women.

In my opinion, some feminists are very immature people. It's like everything someone says offends or triggers them in some way. I follow entertainment news sites such as Buzzfeed and the Huffington Post on Facebook and every once in a while there will be posts about how fans react to how their favorite female celebrity looks.

I usually look in the comment section to see what people have to say about the post and there is no doubt in my mind that there will be a feminist that says something like, "A man's physical appearance is no big deal, but a woman's physical appearance is a big deal" followed by them going off on a long tangent. I agree that it shouldn't matter how a woman looks and she can look however she feels is best for her, but we really have no control over how society is nowadays.

It's one of those "that's my story and I'm sticking to it" moments; I believe that women should be treated equally to men, but I don't whine about it on social media.

I have a news flash for feminists: not all men are as bad as you say they are and you do not have to curse and carry on to get your point across. My advice is to handle the situation like adults and maybe do a peaceful protest. Carrying on won't solve anything. If anything, people will think they are crazy or attention-seeking.

While I do care about women's rights, I believe that there is no reason to come up to random men and yell at them about being more privileged or resort to engaging in attention-seeking behaviors to get a point across. It's not worth it.

Maybe one day in the future, things will get better in terms of equal pay and female equality in general. We just have to stay hopeful.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
