Why I'm A Feminist Against Modern-Day Feminism

I am all for equal rights for women, female empowerment, ending rape culture and "slut" shaming, but the feminist movement today is something I don't stand with. This whole making men lesser than women, free-bleeding and free the nipple movement is honestly stupid.

First of all, making men beneath us isn't making us equal. This kind of counteracts the making women equal thing we have going on. By making men less than us, we aren't doing anything for women other than making us feel better in what has frankly become a pity party. Feminists are getting a little extreme. I want equal pay and equal job opportunities. I wanted to have the same advantages and disadvantages in education and work force as men do. That is what equal is. Trying to make men less is like trying to get a free pass just because we have boobs and a period once a month.

Second of all, why on God's green earth would someone want to walk around bleeding freely? That is probably the most disgusting thing I have ever heard of. I get that it's not fair that tampons are expensive and, in some places, there is an extra tax on feminine hygiene products. However, that doesn't mean you let you blood just go. I don't want to see it. It is bad enough that I along pretty much every other woman deals with it every month, but come on. It's life. Thank Eve for it when you get to Heaven. There is no sense in ruining perfectly good undies and clothes to make a point. You're losing more money.

If you want to walk around with out a bra that is fine, go for it. But please, for all that is good in the world, do not walk around shirtless as a woman. There is a bit of a difference between women's boobs and men's boobs. Why is this even a paragraph in this article? I mean, do what you want. It is a free country, but why is it a movement? There are bigger issues that feminists need to be tackling. JUST SAYING!

Please don't take this as me being a woman against women because I'm not. I just think this has gotten out of hand and stupid issues are getting more attentio than important issues.

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.
