I Don't Watch The Bachelorette But Hannah Telling Luke P. To Leave is a Very Important Message to All Women

It came to my attention that him leaving was long overdue.

I found this out because people were talking about it at work and filled me in on the latest episode. I don't actually know anything about The Bachelorette otherwise so I will talk accordingly.

Basically, disclaimer: the writer doesn't know anything whatsoever except what she will talk about, which is what she knows.

Confusing, I know.

The reason it was brought to my attention in the first place is because Hannah stood up for herself when Luke P. (why do I need to add the P. in the end? Is there another Luke maybe? I don't actually know but I'm going to continue with this) told her that he did not want her to be sexually intimate (his words) with anyone else because that's what he expects in a partner and his faith tells him so.

Listen, I'm down for you to have your own faith and beliefs but that gives you no right to impose those faiths and beliefs on other people who do not share them nor does it give you a right to judge them because they have different faith and beliefs that do not necessarily align with yours.

If this is something you are super invested in, Luke P., then you should probably have not joined The Bachelorette where you will literally have to compete with others for her. Like that's the actual premise of the show.

So in response to this, Hannah replied by saying that you can't tell me what to do or what not to do. Luke P. immediately said that yes, that's true I can't but I guess I will be willing to work through it if you have been sexually intimate. Which wow? What kind of confidence and audacity. If I had the audacity and confidence of a cis white male, I would be running my own country by now, at the very least.

Hannah got pissed off by that, which is a completely valid reaction. She told him that she excused a lot of his behavior even though she would not want that kind of behavior in her future husband and this is his ultimatum? Sex?

Here's where I can't actually tell you guys more because I don't actually know what kind of behavior he has been exercising but I have been told it's manipulation and lying to eliminate the other contestants so he really sounds like a great guy.

Women have constantly been shamed for being sexually active or not sexually active enough by others who think their opinion is something that should be taken into consideration.

Spoiler alert: it is not.

Women are damned if they do and damned if they don't and that is unfair and sickening on so many levels.

Hannah calling Luke P. out on his slut-shaming reminds us that this is something that still occurs very frequently and it should be called out.

I may not watch The Bachelorette but go Hannah for setting an example for all women out there by being unafraid to put herself first and calling Luke P. out on his unsavory remarks.

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.
