Objectification

In this day and age a feminist can easily be viewed as a feminazi and vice versa. When I say feminazi, I’m referring to the people who believe women must take control and, from the sounds of things, wipe out every man on the face of the earth, while a “feminist” according to Webster’s dictionary is someone who supports feminism, which is “the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.”

Feminists are supposed to stand for equality not total domination. The inequality in society can manifest itself as objectification. At this point in our culture, men and women both objectify women. Where it began is not the point, but men have learned throughout the years that women are to be showcased. To sit on prize cars in booty shorts, to wear the next style of bra down a runway, and to stay doled up in the work environment with high heels and mascara. Intellect isn’t related to boob size. Women, however, are taught to be objects, so we do what we’re told. Women are expected to have a certain look. To be slender, to have no blemishes, and to be proper. Thus many women starve themselves, spend extensive amounts of money on beauty products, and get themselves to a doctor for plastic surgery. Women are damaging each other and themselves when they point out or “correct” their “flaws” and by trying to show up others with their designer, size 0, skinny jeans.

Feminazis will always point the finger claiming that men are always openly objectifying women, though it’s true some do, many don’t, or don’t realize they are. Some men will think that catcalling should be viewed as a compliment when it’s really disrespectful and rude. It’s as if there is a lack of common sense in society. There is. A social disconnect where men and women should be treated and talked to differently. The trick is to find some common ground and work our way out of this mess.

There are women who sleep around because society has showed them that if you want to get anywhere in life, you need to give into the men with power. The second she thinks she’s done what she’s supposed to do to survive, the community then calls her a slut and leaves her in the dust to lie in her confusion about this unequal double standard. People as a whole need to work together to build each other up to create a different and better community to understand the wants and needs of men, women, and everyone inbetween.

One last thing about feminazis is that they will blow up on minor things such as someone holding the door open for them… or not holding the door open for them. They don't seem to grasp the larger picture. Right now, at this very second, humans are being trafficked on the Net through sources such as Backpage.com. As long as there’s a demand for sex objects there will always be a supply. This sexism needs to end.

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.
