To Those Who Hate Feminism, It's Not About Hating Men

Feminism is about equality. Please stop tarnishing it with your lies.

equality for all sign

Men and women are not biologically equal, that's for sure. But the human body is not the issue here. The real issues are "the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes." These are the topics that matter in the definition and truth behind feminism.

Women have become stronger over the past four decades. We are intelligent, we are able to attend college, we are able to have children, or not. We can work, we are able to curate our own lives. Yes, this may be the "best time for women," but it's not where it needs to be.

Just because people are slightly more accepting of women's choices doesn't mean things need to stop here. We have more room to grow, as women, as men, as a coherent society.

Men and women are not equal, specifically in the places where it counts. Women are naturally intuitive, they are intelligent. Men are naturally resilient and strong, but they aren't giant oafs.

True feminism is going through defamation today. There are plenty of bad examples given by people who hate feminism and people who are extreme feminists (which also shouldn't be called feminism when it's just about hating men).

Extreme feminism is only fueling the fire. People who are extreme feminists give the rest of us a bad reputation. They can come off very harsh and cause people to get the wrong idea about gender equality.

Feminism is an important example of what this country needs. Equality among the sexes would bring us closer together as a nation.

Like I said in my previous article, political views in this country are very separated. The moments we've had in this country in the past two years have been split politically, racially, socially.

Humans deserve to be treated equally and with respect.

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.
