5 Feminist TV Shows To Add To Your Watch List

Despite the century that has passed since women won the right to vote, women's equality in society is anything but fixed. Even today, women must fight to be seen as human beings. So, for those of us getting a little frustrated with the stasis of today's traditional values, here are some TV series to soothe our turbulent souls.

1. Handmaid's Tale

Giphy

This dystopian (and almost realistic) series explores what would happen if women were enslaved due to the need of fertile women during a population crisis.

2. Gilmore Girls

Giphy

This is my favorite TV show of all time. Not only does it explore a really witty relationship between mother and daughter, but it reminds us all that a woman doesn't need a man to be fabulous!

3. Mamma Mia (1&2)

Giphy

This is not a TV series per se, but I think Donna and Sophie teach us all some valuable lessons: a woman's sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of, and our own ingenuity is all we need.

4. Victoria

Giphy

Queen Victoria was a headstrong and stubborn monarch who led by example. She did not ask permission but instead demanded respect, despite being a woman surrounded by men who, if they could, would have bulldozed over her to take charge.

5. Miranda

Giphy

This British comedy may be a little harder to find, however, it shows the realistic woman. Not the skinny actress who is constantly put together, knows exactly what to say, and solves every problem. This show is full of hilarious fails and word vomit, but it is so endearing all the same!

There is something here for every woman, and more importantly, the watcher herself! Take heart lady lions, and let your roar be heard!

For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
